Very saddened by this news. A real gent and a character.
I met him once - briefly, as a 16 year old - after an away match at Millwall when he was manager. The away end was walking away from the stadium and El Tel was just walking the other way through the crowd (imagine that now). He was happy to stop and shake hands: I remember two things: first he’s actually quite little, and second he had a massive and genuine smile on his face - he really didn’t mind giving him time to stop and talk to people.
Rest in Peace Terry, and thank you for that magical 1991 FA Cup run, when the cup still seemed to mean something.
