Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna hailed Jack Taylor's 'fantastic story' following his dramatic stoppage-time winner at Wolves this afternoon.
Taylor stepped off the bench to head home at a 94th minute corner and secure the Blues their second Premier League win of the season in what was a crunch clash between two relegation-fighting sides.
The Republic of Ireland international has now scored in the top five levels of English football, as well as bagging in both the FA Cup and League Cup.
"The dressing room is delighted for him," said McKenna. "It's another fantastic story in the group.
"I spoke about him last week, but when you lose these things get lost.
"Last week, stepping in for his first start in the Premier League, having come from Barnet in the National League, for what was his first competitive start in maybe six or seven months, to perform how he did (against Bournemouth) was incredible. It was testament to him and the way he works, the way the group works every day and the way the staff work every day.
"Of course he was disappointed not to start again today, but Jens (Cajuste) was in fantastic form as well and I thought played really well. So that's a great position for the squad to have two players doing really well in that role.
"As the top professional and top person he is, Jack understood that and made sure he was ready today to come on and have the impact he did. That was brilliant for him and brilliant from him.
"I think that's our fourth player now who has scored in every division in English football (Taylor, Conor Chaplin, Sam Morsy and Sammie Szmodics). I think there are 10 or 11 in history and we've got four of them.
"If anyone wants to look at it, six of our starting team today were with us in League One 18 months ago. Jack Taylor who comes on and scores the winner was in League One 18 months ago (with Peterborough). Ali Al-Hamadi, who comes on and helps set up the winner, was in League Two 10 months ago (with AFC Wimbledon).
"The group's been on an incredible journey. Every single individual in there has got their story and Jack has a lovely moment in his story today."
