    I see that the club left off any mention of his part-'ownership'. His departure, in acrimony, with the club in turmoil was a sad end to his history with us.

    He was a very good player and a fabulous coach, but most of all, he was FUN...something that seems sadly lacking in the corporate world of today's football. I will miss that side of him most of all.



    Go on, my son!

    For his time as a Spurs player, and as a Spurs
    manager for getting Gazza to the peak.

    Slightly before my time although I am just about old enough to remember the 1991 cup final.

    My grandfather met Terry a few times and they grew up not far from eachother in Dagenham. Said he was an absolute gentleman and a joy to be around.

    Won the FA cup both as a player and manager for Spurs. Signed Gazza & Lineker.

    Euro 96 for England

    Absolute legend and one of my favourite people in football.

    Kendo Nagasaki was the pseudonym of the exotically named Peter Thornley.
    He changed it to that from the even more exotic Brian Stevens.
