Taylor had been at Arsenal since joining the club in 1997 as a youth player, though he was loaned out several times ? to Bristol Rovers (September 23-October 23, 1999), Crystal Palace (August 9-October 1, 2000), Peterborough United (February 15-March 15, 2001) and Leicester City (November 18, 2004-January 23, 2005).
He played only 30 times in eight years for Arsenal's first team, as he was often the club's second or third-choice 'keeper. However, this included ten League appearances in Arsenal's 2001-02 Premiership-winning season, thus qualifying him for a winner's medal.
