But not all facts are correct

(Sorry being pedantic - and sure you just meant played in a granny).
I think comparing stats with past players is fraught with danger, even with stuff from 5-10 years ago - just given how much the game has changed for defenders, how much their stat numbers have skyrocketed, and with the increased focus on their offensive work you often get away with guys who arent as good, or ready, to be those 1:1 defenders.

Taylor was forcing his way into one of the all time great backlines.
