   Look how Venables looked after Gazza. It was fantastic. Gazza put everything into his football in 1996, even though he wasnt fit. That was everything.

   Euro 96 was the best time as an England fan. Incredible summer, Terry will be missed.

   Terry Venables was one of the best English managers of all time. Amazing man management, and great tactical awareness. Rest in peace legend ❤❤❤

   I was 10 when Euro 96 was here.
   Almost 30 years on, i still remember the elation and joy that was created by El Tel.
   The Scotland game, the Netherlands rout, that tense quater final vs Spain followed by a win on penalties.

   If Gazza got anything on to that ball, we'd be in that final and probably won.
   We seemed to go backwards after that. Hoddle was good, maybe unlucky in 1998, though it wasnt the same.
   Rip Tel you'll be much missed

    The only thing he got wrong in this great speech is comparing him to Southgate,

    That tournament is what took football into the stratosphere in this country. It was a huge turning point, and what made it a turning point was the nature of Terry Venables mindset and approach.

    It wasn't about watching England winning – we didn't win – it was all about the 'how' in terms of how Venables went about things, the positive mindset, the tactically progressive nature of the football played, and then the visible self-belief that the confidence to do that instilled in both the team and the country. Non-football fans got on for the ride, and haven't got off.

    Contrast that with Southgate's tactical timidity, with let's-face-it a far stronger group of players. The difference a coach can make is immense.

    I love Ronnie, what a player and what a legend.
    Roy was almost in awe of him, respect from one top pro to another.
    Excellent episode.

    As a Qpr fan Venables will always be a legend, AS Gary said he was ahead of his time could play different systems and was tactically on another level, Sadly the FA as now want yes men PC and will always be the same. Nothing against Southgate but he's non league compared to TV

    R.I.P El Tel what a great England manager and never heard a bad word about the guy on or off the pitch..I was 17 when Euro 96 was on and its still the best I've seen England play in 44 years I've been alive and not just that but how he had the group together with a good atmosphere and no bullshit..Tel was of the oldskool and as he showed..its the best school.

    I’ve been watching England since 1990. For me, there are only 2 truly great England performances. 5-1 in Munich and beating the Dutch 4-1 at Euro 96. We played them at their own game in a must win match and Holland had zero answer. But for a missed penalty, I think we win that tournament. Terry was ahead of his time and we missed a trick by not keeping him on. He will be greatly missed

    Now they have an FA man Fakegate aka Southgate,,, They will never win with this rabbit who freezes in the headlights ,, Wc semi 14 minutes from time a tiring team, never made the any subs,,, Euros final another "no change" France , Pickford a weak link,,, No Jack Grealish or Arnold who should be regulars,,, Instead Henderson and Phillips . Fakegate is a teacher mentality… an FA man

    Fans loved him, players loved him. The FA dropped a major bollock letting him walk away from the England job. It took 20 years to recover

    I remember when he came to Barça. Living in the region then & the Spanish was not nice to start but wow…. that man knew how to read footage tape and then relay training befote him they kept loosing.

    El Tel was never given the accolade as an amazing manager until his death.

    That is really sad. I have always listed him with his vision he had.

    R.I.P El Tel. ❤️
