Due to the form of Tony Waiters, Taylor didn't make his league debut for Blackpool until 29 January 1966, keeping a clean sheet in a goalless draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Another goalless draw followed, this time against Tottenham at Bloomfield Road, before Waiters returned to the fold for the remainder of the 1966–67 season.
He missed four games in late March and early April, at which point Thomas deputised, but he regained his place for the run-in.
Under new manager Les Shannon, Taylor made only three league appearances during Blackpool's successful 1969–70 campaign, in which they gained promotion to Division One as runners-up behind Huddersfield Town.
His final appearance for Blackpool occurred on 17 April 1971, in a 3–2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
