Has died. Another great loss in the soccer world. R.I.P Tez, thank you for the memories.

Always liked Terry I thought we would have won something when he was England manager if he stayed longer but was not to be.

RIP, to another one of the greats that have left us.

RIP Terry, another sad loss to the football world.

I seem to remember a true story, printed in the daily papers, where Terry Venables was having a drink with George Kerr after the match, in George's office. Upon which Terry Venables, said to George ' you have a small office,you should get your number 11 to extend it.'.
I was sure this was a Tuesday evening game in the cold nights, but I can't find a midweek match to collaborate this.
Maybe someone has a better memory than me.

No prizes for naming no. 11.

I met El Tel when I was invited to watch the England Team Train in 96 for the game v Croatia (Eng supporters Club) he was fantastic approachable and down to earth had what seems time to converse with supporters fond memories  one of the greats sadly gone RIP

Managed the England team that produced the best performance in my lifetime against the Dutch.

Rip El Tel, thanks for the memories.

Love that YouTube video. Sad to see El Tel go.
Thanks Terry. For me, like a favourite uncle. Bless you.

Arealy good manager and well liked throught the football world and beyond.. RIP

Was saddened by this when I heard the news earlier. I couldn't believe he was 80.

I was 11 years old during Euro 96 - old enough to understand and be excited by football, still young enough to have not been ground down by years of following Town and England. It was only the second major tournament I could remember England at first-hand, the other being Euro 92, which was remarkable only for how forgettable it was. For it to be hosted in England was just mind-blowingly exciting to that young kid.

England were a joy to watch at that tournament, particularly against Holland (slightly less so against Switzerland), and it's probably the most likeable England side I can remember. Money in football hadn't quite gone full tilt crazy, and the players, for the most part, just seemed like a group of young lads having a good time, getting píssed up, smashing up the odd plane, and occasionally playing a bit of football.

Perhaps it shouldn't have worked, really, but Euro 96 really was peak football, and that England team lives rent free in the hearts and minds of any Englishman old enough to remember it. An almost perfect summer of football. And at the heart of it, was Terry Venables. I still remember the sense of poignancy after that penalty shootout against the Germans. We were out, when it felt like we were destined to go all of the way (we'd have beaten the Czechs, wouldn't we), but it was also the end of an era, with Venables having to step down. Had Gazza's studs been an half an inch longer, we'd be mourning "Sir Terry", I'm sure.

Just a couple of years after he would be at BP with Crystal Palace. Halloween if memory serves, Widdrington and Jack Lester getting the goals that gave us a 2-0 win. Always seemed a shame his managerial career peaked that night under the lights at the old Wembley.

A big footballing figure from my childhood. RIP El Tel.

One of my abiding memories was being at Wembley when Gazza scored THAT goal v Scotland. Will never forget that.

RIP and thanks for the memories Tel.

THAT genius goal and the subsequent celebrations with Gazza lain behind with Sheringham mimicking the dentist's chair..... no words

Rip El Tel, thanks for the memories.

I was lucky enough to be at that game, it was tremendous.  With a bit of luck in the semi we would have won Euro 96. Since 1966 we just don’t seem to get the rub of the green in the big matches.

That summer in 96 was my favourite tournament (in my lifetime),as a young teen ,  the country just seemed to go mental and everyone was happy, seems a far cry from the world we live in today .

I was gutted  we lost to the Germans as I thought we had the tournament to win .

El Tel was a good manager and seemed a good guy

RIP

Mate of mine played for Derby alongside David Swindelhurst who’d played for Terry at QPR apparently as well as being a great coach and a really nice person he was well “connected” to quite a few East End geezers and could genuinely lay his hands on anything the players wanted and do a deal for the lads.
