He was innovative and creative, a fine player as well as a fine manager.

Oh no.
Almost won us the Euro's back in '96. Probably the best England manger since Sir Bobby.
RIP.

Met him once queuing at the exit door to get off a plane, he stood to one side to let go first. Seemed like a decent bloke and was a quality manager. RIP.0

Sad news. Fine player and a very good manager. Many won't remember it, and it's weird to think of if happening today, but he was also the joint author of the books behind the TV series Hazell.
RIP.

Absolutely gutted.
Posted on here a while back about his illness, what David Howells and Steve Sedgeley told us in one of the legend walks through the lounges at WHL.
Doesn't make it any easier. Loved watching Spurs under El Tel back in the late 80s/early 90 until he fell out with Alan Sugar. The '91 Semi-Final against the Goons and Gazza's free kick will live long in the memory as my favourite game live.

East End boy done well .. produced some terrific attacking teams as a manager, especially Barcelona and England .. bit of a 1960s renaissance man, ducker and diver, businessman as well as a decent player with over 500 games under his belt, always up for a laugh, a bit of a household name to those of us of a certain vintage

Terry Venables was so much more than a football manager and was a Ryan Giggs type left footed wide man short of winning the 96 Euro's.
This is a real eye opener from Gary Neville about how flexible Terry was:
"In Euro 96 as a right back, I played as a conventional right back in the first match, the right of a back three in parts of the second match against Scotland and as a right winger when we were in possession through our goalkeeper in the third match against Holland and in the fourth match against Spain in the quarter final as a right wing back."
He had so many business interests and talents but he was a sublime England manager who wasn't appreciated by the Male blazers at the FA.
Working in Spain helped his coaching and understanding of the flexibility of play over rigidity of positions in 84-87 at Barcelona.
RIP EL Tel

So sad,one of lifes characters,always enjoyed hearing him talk.Thought he was treated shamefully after 96,we certainly had a chance of winning the next world cup with him in charge.
