What they Said
"I can't comment on the reasons because whet happened is between Andy Gray and Notts County.
"I understood that the arrangement would become permanent but it was obviously not to be.
"Gray is now back with us and if the time comes when it is right to play him in the first team, then I will select him."
Graham Taylor.
