RIP Terry Venables
Discussion
Gutted,talented coach and far too forward thinking/speaking for the FA at the time.The way we played during Euro '96 showed how well he could get a group of players to play properly,and they really wanted to play for him.Didn't see that sort of cohesion with the managers that followed which says a lot for me.
Rest up Tel.
Rest up Tel.

My thoughts too.Rest up Tel.
No team since then has felt as cohesive as the '96 Euros team.
RIP.
However for all of his tactical nous and all of the glory he brought Tottenham and Barcelona, he will always be remembered as the manager who picked an out of form Alan Shearer (who hadn’t scored for 12 games) over John Fashanu for Euro 96.
What might have been if we had Fash the Bash leading the line at his home tournament in stead of Shearer.
A small stain on a wonderful legacy.

WTF?
John Fashanu retired at the end of the 1995 season due to injury?
I think it’s safe to say that Terry will not be remembered for overlooking Fash…..
