Vale El Tel.

Trophy winning manager (and trophy winning player) for us and also managed my national team, the Socceroos in the 90’s for a bit.

Cruel world, the legend that was El Tel gone and the arsewipe Sugar remains.

Euro 96 was without doubt, one of the absolute best summers of my life...

Thank-you El Tel...

A great man, a club legend and a proper character. RIP Terry.

Same here. At the time I was working for a company who had the FA as one of their main clients so we got a lot of tickets for the games and I got to see the England/Spain quarter final at Wembley.

The buzz around the whole tournament at the time was amazing.
