Taylor missed only a handful of first-team games in goal for Fulham in 2000-01 and proved himself to be the best keeper in the First Division, recording a total of 19 clean sheets during the season.
His command of the penalty area was second to none and if he came for crosses or corners he got them.
He made numerous crucial saves and enjoyed playing as a sweeper using his excellent distribution to start numerous attacks.
Having lost out to Roy Carroll for part of the season, he eventually came back to regain his place for Northern Ireland in the friendly against Norway.
He was rewarded by his fellow professionals with a place in the PFA's First Division team.
After an impressive loan spell, Taylor joined Birmingham City in March 2004 with a contract to June 2008 that was extended to June 2010 in June 2008 and to June 2011 in May 2010.
His contract at Leeds United was extended to June 2012 in January 2012.
After a loan spell, Taylor joined Millwall in July 2012 with a one-year contract.
