And if he had achieved that lot as a Brighton manager, would we have given a flying wotsit what kind of football he played?
I certainly wouldn't. It's nice to win football matches playing silky passing football, but ultimately it's the WINNING that's most important..

Remember watching that game as a teenager. Was daylight robbery. The Irish went mental over the Henry handball in 2010. That incident was certainly up there with that.

I remember watching that game in the Pedestrian Arms (now The Foundry) with my uncle as a kid. I think I cried at the injustice of it.

R I P indeed, a sudden and untimely death of one of English football's best. He was horribly pilloried in the press after the England debacle but went on to prove what a great club manager he was.
I used to enjoy his summaries and comments on Radio 5 , sadly no more.

Nothing wrong with that in my book
It was the injustice of Koeman getting away with not being given a clear red card for pulling down Platt as the last line of defence and then going up the other end and sticking one in the top corner with a trademark free-kick
Who knows how we would have done in the USA. We'll never know.

Yes we do.
We'd have stumbled through the group, and then gone out on penalties to the first half-decent team we played. Same as always.

An excellent summary and agree entirely
He came in off the back of a World Cup that has captivated the nation replacing Robson who had cemented his place in England history and stepped down. Massive figures in the dressing room retired with other key players reached the end of their careers
Like others I was seething with him for subbing linekar but thought on the whole he was treated disgracefully by the media and a witch hunt made his position impossible
Great manager who ended up in the job at the wrong time
RIP Graham

The most curious thing..
Shades of Ramsey substituting Charlton for Colin Bell in 1970 v West Germany - although I think we were winning that one at the time.

completely agree with both these opinions...he's still a legend in Lincoln ,his exploits with the imps launching his move to Watford

Wonder if the Sun will include the turnip photo in their obituary tomorrow?
I felt genuinely rather sad to hear this news today. Always came across as an absolutely lovely guy, with a heart of gold, an absolute passion for what he did, and a great sense of humour.
