One of the Tottenham greats. RIP Tel
Unfortunately, not surprised to hear this, Robbo mentioned how ill he was during his Covid zoom calls.
Tel was a true character, good man manager and a bit of a crooner.

Ma Maw wrote to Mr Venables asking if I could be mascot for a friendly against Hearts. Nobody actually expected him to reply, but he did and I got to run out with the team.
Clearly a lovely guy. RIP

Would have been his birthday today. RIP. Nice to see the club put this tweet out.

A goal on 67 minutes, and then seal it with another on 91 minutes would be fitting!
A non-Spurs, non-England memory...
I think it was during the live coverage of Heysel, as the horror unfolded below.
Jimmy Hill: We need to bring back the birch. Those responsible should be whipped in public. Wouldn't you agree Terry?
Venables (after a perfectly timed silence): No Jimmy.

One of the Tottenham greats. And knew the Tottenham way. Thanks for giving me one of my best memories beating the gooners 3-1 in 1991 semi. Magical day.
Requiescat in Pace Don Terry. Let's lift the FA Cup for him this season in memory of 67 and 91
I didn't realise that in his later years he ran a hotel and restaurant in Penàguila, a small village in the foothills of the sierra, 20 miles or so inland from Benidorm.
Wish I'd known, I'd have made a point of visiting and staying there.
Maybe it's for the best, I'd have gushed and embarrassed everybody.
Here he is taken there in 2018, looking sharp as always...

The 91 FA Cup win was the first game of football I remember as a kid and was the reason I started supporting Spurs.
With that in mind I’m now not sure I should like Mr Venables…
Euro 96 was also a huge football moment for me as I grew up. Obviously we tend to look at things in the past with rose tinted glasses, but that was definitely one of the best England teams I’ve ever seen.
I salute you El Tel.

What an horrific day for us. Forget the 2-1 defeat and the women losing 7-0; Terry won the last meaningful trophy in our cabinet. It was his time with us when I firmly became a Spurs fan and also made my debut at WHL. The 1989-91 side was my favourite one of all too.
RIP. Thoughts and prayers with his family.
