Venables brought joy back to Spurs and England and good humour wherever he went

A catalogue of Venables' achievements as a player and manager would put him into the top echelon of coaches from his era

Tributes poured in after the death of Terry Venables, the former Crystal Palace, QPR, Barcelona and England manager, but nowhere was his passing felt more keenly than at Tottenham, where he won the FA Cup as both a player and manager.

Shortly before kick-off ahead of Tottenham's 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa, a minute's applause was scheduled, but lasted longer, such was the strength of feeling from both sets of supporters. Older Spurs fans remember him as a stylish midfielder signed from Chelsea who lifted the FA Cup in 1967, who then returned as manager of one of their most entertaining sides in the club's history, winning the 1991 FA Cup with stars such as Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker and Gary Mabbutt.
