Sad news.
The OP doesn’t give any details of who he is , but if you don’t know him please don’t comment, its totally unnecessary.

My word a great footballer from a generation that spawned great new talent,and one heck of a Manager thanks for the memories,R.I.P.

Terry and I were in the same class at Valence Infants School. We played on our scooters together. My mum knew his mum. Although I hadn't met him since we moved away soon after, I can't help feeling moved by the news. Intimations of my own mortality 🙄

Sad news for his family, and the footballing community. Did a lot for the game and seemed highly thought of by those who played under him, despite a perceived lack of success.

One of my fav England Managers, 'El Tel' will be missed

Sad news, great coach and a real character.

Great player and coach and always funny. RIP

 

[Dogtrousers]

One of those characters who was a bit bigger than just the sport he was involved in.

I remember a fair bit about him and I've never followed football.

I was surprised to read that he was 80

It's interesting how many of the best managers were not star players and how many star players have failed as managers.

He was also quite a successful singer, though more for fun than financial gain and co-wrote the television private detective series Hazell as well.

Bobby Charlton when manager of Preston, Bobby Moore when manager of Oxford City and Alan Shearer when Newcastle manager spring to mind.
