And they currently live in Westbury according to the radio.

I am sure Nathan  said in an interview recently they were from Swindon and town fans as well.

To be fair, being born somewhere does not equate to 'being from there'. Heard Thompson speak on Tuesday and he definitely had the accent

How time changes things eh. The elder overlooked for 2 seasons and the younger stalling on signing his youth contract for that reason.
Both now first teamers. Good luck to them both.

True, but "born and bred" implies .... well what it says.

Had a few songs in the hit parade during the 80s.
Thought the bint that wore the big hats was a Kiwi though?

 I'm trying to think if brothers have ever appeared in the same Town side in my 50 years, and I'm inclined to think not, could be wrong mind.

Did Shaun 'in control' Taylor and Craig Taylor' s time at the Town overlap?

I would say almost certainly not...but I'm not certain.

Thinking about it, think we've done this one before as both Thompson's played v Sheff U earlier in the season, so today isn't the foirst time.

This isn't a dig at our previous (non youth playing) previous manager is it

If so, you had better watch out, otherwise his lawyers will be on the phone to you before you know it ;)

Answered own question... No

Shaun last game 1996, Craig first game 1997.
