Not a favourite at Brighton perhaps(!) but he had a good career, and TBF he wasn't the worst ever England manager! Anyway, sympathy at this time to his family and friends. RIP.

A proper old school "Gaffer" - always seemed a decent chap who did a great job with England and was one of Spur's best too.

Wow, that’s come as a bit of a shock. RIP Terry

Very sad news. I wasn't even aware he was ill. Along with bobby Robson my favourite England manager. Euro 96 was such a fun tournament.

RIP El Tel.

I'm pleased it came as a shock to me. It means that those in the media who must have known he was unwell chose not to invade the family's privacy and left them alone.

He was a big name in football and I always enjoyed the way he set up his teams.

Sad day. RIP
