OXFORD CITY have been left in shock after managing director Colin Taylor was found dead at the club’s Marsh Lane ground.

Taylor’s body was discovered by a member of the public at around 9.20am on Sunday morning at City’s home ground in Marston.

Thames Valley Police said they were not treating the death as suspicious with a club statement reading: “It is with the deepest sadness that the directors of the club have to announce the sudden passing of managing director, Colin Taylor.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Colin’s family and friends at this time.”

Chairman Brian Cox told the Oxford Mail: “We are all completely shocked and saddened. Colin has been a close associate and a very good friend for the last 20-odd years.

“We came home from football in the car together yesterday (Saturday).”

Oxford midfielder Scott Davies, who joined the National League South club this summer, said he was in ‘absolute shock’, adding: “Only knew him for a short period of time but what a lovely bloke he was.”
