Terry Venables: The charismatic manager who so nearly brought football home
Former England manager Terry Venables (Tim Ockenden/PA).
Terry Venables will forever be remembered as the manager who oversaw the summer when football came home.
The charismatic boss, who has died at the age of 80, enjoyed a colourful and controversial career, the undoubted highlight of which was leading England to within a penalty shoot-out of reaching the final of the European Championship on home soil in 1996.
