TAYLOR MADE RETURN

Lyle is ready to shine at his old stomping ground

LYLE TAYLOR will put his feelings for AFC Wimbledon to one side when colchester travel to Plough Lane today.

Taylor, 34, is a Dons legend and made over 150 appearances during a three-year spell with the south Londoners before going on to join Charlton and then Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

The veteran striker signed for Colchester in the summer after a "tough couple of years" and will make his bow against a club where he is still idolised.

But there will be no room for sentiment on the opening day of the season when he goes up against old friends.

Taylor said: "It's been a tough couple of years but I don't think there has been a single footballer on the face of this earth that hasn't dealt with adversity.
