Steven Taylor is set for another tussle against Andy Keogh, 10 years on from an encounter for their respective under-21 national teams.

Earlier this week, the Wellington Phoenix defender spoke of playing against the Perth Glory striker during his time back in England, where Taylor played 13 seasons with Newcastle United in the English Premier League and Championship.

Keogh’s career in England was more transient than Taylor’s, taking in eight teams over 11 years through various transfers and loans.

That made trying to line up when they may have met in club colours difficult, but they did play against each other on February 5, 2008, at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton.

That day Taylor captained England’s under-21s to a 3-0 win over the Keogh and the Republic of Ireland under-21s. Current Liverpool midfielder James Milner scored two goals for England, while Everton’s Theo Walcott got the other in a side which also featured Joe Hart, Mark Noble, Aaron Lennon and Tom Huddlestone.

A decade on, Taylor said he remained fully aware of Keogh’s talents – the Irishman has scored 44 goals in 99 games for Perth, including A-League, round six Westpac Stadium, Wellington, tomorrow 7pm Wellington $3, Perth $2, draw $3.45
