Former England International and Dream Team Forward Scott Taylor Shares His Ultimate Team
Scott Taylor, the winner of three Challenge Cups and a Super League Grand Final, is embarking on his coaching journey at Goole Vikings, who will compete in League One next year. The 33-year-old enjoyed great success at Hull FC, where he won back-to-back Challenge Cups in 2016 and 2017, as well as with Wigan Warriors, with whom he won a Challenge Cup and Super League double four years earlier.
Taylor, who came through the ranks at Hull KR and also played for Salford in a career spanning more than 300 appearances, culminating in a 2017 World Cup for his country, has now selected his 17 of the best players he has lined up alongside during his impressive playing career. This exclusive feature, brought to you in partnership with eToro, the trading and investing platform with over 35 million users, showcases Taylor’s Ultimate Team.
The Ultimate Team
Sam Tomkins (Wigan Warriors): “We won the double with Wigan when Sam was the best full-back in the competition in 2013. He won matches on his own.”
Ryan Hall (England): “Could carry the ball 200m per game and was hard to stop. His carries gave such a huge lift to England’s pack.”
Kirk Yeaman (Hull FC): “I had to pick this Hull FC legend. For me, he is the best defensive centre the game has ever produced.”
Kallum Watkins (England): “A popular pick with anyone who has lined up with him. An unbelievable centre who I shared the England dressing room with. At Leeds, he was incredible.”
Jermaine McGillvary (England): “Much like Hally, he was so powerful he could have played in the middle with us. Brilliant at the 2017 World Cup.”
George Williams (Wigan Warriors): “He was always going to be a star from the early days coming through at Wigan. Still one of the best around.”
Marc Sneyd (Hull FC): “One of the best with ball in hand. Never hides in the big games, and you don’t win back-to-back Lance Todds by fluke.”
Adrian Morley (England): “He was my idol growing up, and I got to play with him in his latter years at Salford. What a career he had.”
Danny Houghton (Hull FC): “Big call this having played with James Roby and Micky McIlorum, but anyone who has played with Danny knows how good he was. He made every player in that Hull team better.”
James Graham (England): “People might not realise how fit he was as a prop. Great hands too and a real born leader.”
Sam Burgess (England): “He might just be the best back row forward I have ever seen in my life. The best English player ever to play NRL too. A beast.”
Gareth Ellis (Hull FC): “A great captain, leader and friend. Mild-mannered and kind off the field but an animal on the field.”
Sean O’Loughlin (Wigan Warriors): “Hands-down the best all-round player I have ever played with. He would play 80 minutes injured and still be the best.”
