BobbyBiscuit Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 ABERDEEN FC youth coaching chief Lenny Taylor is retiring at the end of this season. Star finder Lenny, 66, is stepping down to spend more time with his family. Lenny helped unearth gems like Eric Black, John Hewitt and Neale Cooper during his first spell at Pittodrie. He parted company with the Dons in 1995 because of his teaching commitments. But he returned to Pittodrie in January 2006 and helped to revamp Aberdeen’s scouting and youth coaching network. Best wishes for your retirement Lenny! Quote

Superstar Tradesman Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Shame that. The youth set up has come on leaps and bounds the last few years and we're already seeing the fruits of his labour. Hopefully Willie makes another decent call in replacing Lenny. Quote
Sandaldinho Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Good luck and all the best Lenny Quote

Hopefully Willie makes another decent call in replacing Lenny. Depends if it is his call to make. Doesn't Willie's contract end at the end of the season? Anyway, all the best Lennie! Quote
stoney Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Aye and i believe we have just apointed a head of football ops man, surely willies cards are marked Quote
Stewart Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 This. Hopefully there is somebody lined up. Says in Willie Miller's column that he's asking Taylor to stay on part time for a bit as well. He'll also be working closely with him until the end of the season to choose his succesor. Quote
