Googled her, and it seems she appeared in several popular TV shows, none of which I watched. Nice looking woman, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post trekka Posted November 26, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Terry Venables gone at the age of 77 (or is it 80? News sites are giving conflicting reports). I was surprised to hear of his age, in my mind I still had him in his 60s. Thanks for the memories of Euro '96, Terry.

markavfc40 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Like @trekka I was surprised he was 80 as had him down as maybe late 60's. His teams played some nice stuff and that Euro 96 England team is probably the last England side I really enjoyed watching. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted November 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) In reality, my good memories of England in euro ‘96 are two matches. Ok, two matches and Pearce’s penalty v Spain. Switzerland, drab. Spain, fortunate to get through. Germany, valiant defeat against superior opposition. But he was a big character and my overall feeling towards Venables is positive even if in my own mind it doesn’t quite stand up to scrutiny.

HongKongVillan Posted November 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2023 I like Venables, especially he found a place for a certain Villa player at the time, and unlike the current manager, who I would say had the least biased towards the bigger clubs and would pick players based on forms and merits at the time. Also seems geniuely a decent enough person. One of the memory I had of him was I think he had some programme on TV teaching kids how to play the game. He was with John Salako (think he was an England player at the time). He explained the art of crossing the ball to a bunch of 10 yo kids, and then asked Salako to demonstrate, and just for Salako completely messed up hitting the ball out of play. Venables then just smoothly went, "kids, John just shown you all how not to cross a football." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 The last thing I remember about Venables being involved in football was Eamonn Dunphy pretty much calling him a dodgy crook on live TV when he was linked to the Ireland job in 2008 Not sure he ever worked after that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
