The ex-Gas forward, played in his first match back at his old club since he departed for rivals Bristol City in 2017.

He only played 30 minutes of the game after going down injured then was taken off the pitch to a not so good farewell.

Throughout the game, some of the 7,000+ fans inside the ground shouted ‘traitor’ and ‘you know what you are’ as well as hiss towards him.

Inflatables snakes were also inside the ground, despite Bristol Rovers claiming they would be putting “amnesty bins” outside the ground for anyone attempting to bring banned items.

Taylor had a few chances in the game and probably should have netted one of them, though just could find the net.

He also received a yellow after he clashed with Alfie Kilgour, Bristol Rovers fans shouted ‘off off off’.

Taylor handled the ball when trying to pick out a teammate, only to slip and fall.

After half time, he sat in the West Stand and as Rovers turned the scoreline from 1-0 down to 3-1 up, fans sang ‘Taylor, what’s the score?’. Eek.

 

After watching the video of Matty Taylor getting called a paedo as well as other names, social media users, majority Bristol City took aim to mock their rivals’ actions – see what they said on the next page.
