Rip El Tel

 

[Johnny Comelately]

One of the best England managers, along with Ramsey and Robson. The players always seemed to enjoy playing for him and he made 96 a great tournament. RIP.

I spent a week in his hotel in Spain a few years ago and he sat with us every night till late drinking his lovely red wine. He was blown away how passionate we were as Cherries fans and his stories were second to none. True gentleman. RIP

Classy player for Chelsea and very good as England manager ...he could sing too !
Very likable character...RIP.

Loved his style of football. Wasnt his England stint cut shot due to off field issues (finances?), real shame as we were great to watch.
RIP El Tel

RIP Terry One of England's best ever manager's. He has left us some great memories.

I met him a few times over the year's getting his autograph. The first time was Good Friday April 1965. I went to watch Chelsea v Liverpool at Stamford Bridge Chelsea won 4-0. He signed a picture for me outside the player's entrance afterwards.

I tried to download it but the picture is too big!
