On 23 February 2008, Martin Taylor was sent off for a tackle on Arsenal's Croatian player Eduardo da Silva resulting in a suspected double fracture of the leg.[17] Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger later suggested that Taylor "should never play football again" [18] Both current manager Alex McLeish, and former manager Steve Bruce, have defended the player. Both said that Martin Taylor is a gentle player and would never do anything as malicious and it would never have been intentional, and Martin was 'distraught' when in the dressing room during the game.[19] Bruce went further, stating "He has mis-timed the tackle, and I've seen it. Some would say it is not even a yellow card".[19] Birmingham City released a statement soon after "Martin Taylor is adamant there was no malicious intent in the tackle and he is deeply upset by the extent of Eduardo's injury. Having reviewed the incident, this (no malicious intent) is clearly the case. The club and Martin Taylor would like to send their very best wishes to the player for a speedy recovery."
