Legendary man, my username was inspired by him
Oh no not El Tel
Got to meet him twice at Selhurst, aside from what everyone knows about his football knowledge and managerial feats…. He was just a bloody nice bloke. I’m absolutely gutted
This is really sad news. El Tel was a proper legend. Would’ve been interesting to see how he did with the talent that emerged under his successor.
Noooo
RIP El Tel. A real character.
Great manager, but I think the revelations about his finacial affairs were the first time I had ever realised some of the “dark practices” taking place in football.
Mihir Bose alledged that some huge percentage of the wages that Crystal Palace were paying their players, actually went straight to a Venables owned company. After he left as England manager, and became involved in Portsmouth , similar concerns were raised about half a dozen Australian players who joined the club, but never got anywhere near the first team.
He was disqualified from being a director in England because of the dodgy shit he did at Spurs. He was a fraud, a con man, a terrible manager.
RIP
True character and legend of the sport, RIP
I hated his opinions, I hated his punditry. But he was a lovely guy and gone far too soon. Very sad.
I don’t recall him being controversial or a bad pundit,what opinions did you hate? He always seemed quite genuine to me.
I always felt he was pretty biased towards a couple of clubs. That said, just because I disagreed with him I didn’t respect him less. I’m sometimes biased to my own club.
He was a great guy that worked hard for his country.
Yeah I always liked him,apart from murdering Elvis’s If I can dream lol he was a good lad.
Always seemed really sound. Rest in peace, Terry!
rip terry venables. thanks for the memories, legend. 🌹
RIP euro 96 was the first tournament I can remember watching and being proud of the team.
Much respect! RIP!
RIP. He managed Barcelona as well as many other clubs as well as England in his career. He secured crystal palace as a first division club (he did kinda get them relegated the first time around though) twice over 2 stints.
Australia too, will always be remembered fondly down here. We had a good team beaten by 5 minutes of madness. RIP.
