The future of PFA chief Gordon Taylor has split footballers past and present.

Taylor has spent four decades in charge of the PFA, but he is facing calls to step down.

Dion Dublin this week told SkySports that he feels the organisation needs fresh leadership.

Former Tottenham defender Paul Miller yesterday came out vociferously in favour of Taylor, with an impassioned plea on Twitter.

He said he is disgusted with the treatment Taylor has received.

Am disgusted how some of our ex players and still members of the PFA have chosen to criticise our CEO Gordon Taylor who has worked wonders for us over the years and has helped, advised and paid for many of our problems that we have encountered. Some players have short memories!

Miller’s comment prompted a firm rebuke from ex-Blackburn striker Chris Sutton, who hit back.

I’m disgusted that some of our ex players bury their heads in the sand and stand by their union leader when he CHOSE not to tell anyone the dementia testing had stopped… our ex players and their families are dying and suffering… Gordon Taylor could have done so much more… https://t.co/koPav6M1YC
