Terry Venables‘ advice to Gareth Southgate during the Euro 96 tournament has resurfaced following the news that the former England manager and player died at the age of 80 after a long illness.
“What doesn’t destroy you completely only makes you stronger, he’ll find that… I’m sure Gareth will be all the better for it,” Venables said.
His family said in a statement on Sunday (26 November): “We are totally devastated by the loss of a wonderful husband and father who passed away peacefully yesterday after a long illness.”
