Euro 96 was unbelievable! I think he was the Leeds boss when we played them in a pre-season friendly 2002/3. RIP El Tel
Sad loss, a great bloke. I interviewed him for Real Radio once when we played Leeds in a pre-season friendly.
Very sad news. Will always remember that Euro 96 summer and he always seemed like a top bloke and manager. Rip El Tel
He was at Pompey when my sister worked there. She drove his car for him a few times. Nice bloke by all accounts.
RIP EL Tel top bloke, sad loss. Best England performance I've ever seen in my lifetime when we beat the Dutch 4-1 at Euro 96, their team had Edgar David's, Denis Bergkamp, Patrick Kliuvert, Edwin Van Der Sar, Danny Blind, Seedorf it was packed with world class players and we absolutely mullered them with EL Tel in charge, sad day.
John Gregory spoke about Terry on a recent episode of Undr the Cosh, highlighting how he was so far ahead of his time as a football coach. Euro 96 was the first football tournament I remember watching as a kid, and even though I'd been watching tbe reds for a few years already at that point, it was that tournament that made me fall in love with football. Rip Terry Venables
God I wish he was still in his prime and in charge these England players then I would be confidant England would win the euros. RIP Terry
Sad loss to football and his family. A man ahead of his time. I’ve got a couple of detective books he wrote and even they were cool.
What terribly sad news. Summer 96 will probably be the last to fade from my memory when I'm old and tired. On the Morning of 15th June the bomb shook the bloody car as we drove up Oxford Road. And in the afternoon Gazza scored that goal.
Enjoyed the game- always had a big smile on his face. Played some great football in Euro 96 - RIP Tel
