There is actually a tenuous Hibs connection. Terry "wrote" his books ( & the Hazell TV series ) with a Scottish author called Gordon Williams, he wrote the book which became Straw Dogs. Although Gordon's from Paisley I read somewhere that his earliest football memories were of the Famous 5 & IIRC he pays tribute to the FF in his book, "They Used To Play On Grass". As for Tel, great guy as you say, excellent footballer but a complete ( loveable ) rogue!

Unless you're a Palace supporter - he's as welcome there as a fart in a space suit.

I remember a headline in a newspaper many moons ago and thought it was quite clever at the time.

'Terry Venable's job is not very tenable.'

I can remember back in the mid/late 1980s Hibs didn't have a proper striker to their name then they signed Gareth Evans from Rotherham. IIRC he made his debut against Dundee and scored. Terry Venables was manager of Spurs at the time and was on a spying mission at the game. At the end of the game he was quoted as wondering why none of his own scouts had spotted Evans.

El Tel is OK. One of the old school Ron Managers.

No - they led for a bit. (he got them promoted as the "team of the 80s") but then fell away. Then he followed the cash to QPR. He came back a few years later, screwing a big wad of cash from the Chairman to save them and then did a runner again. More to it than that but would take too long to explain - you had to be an Eagle to fully appreciate his ducking a diving - loveable rogue my erse!

His saving grace with many is that he did a pretty good job as England manager so still a bit of shine on his CV,

Terry Vegetables was always going to support The Cabbage.

I live in Palace territory & all my Palace supporting friends are still big fans of Tel. I don't understand it, a bit like the Boris syndrome, we know he's an idiot & a crook but I'm still voting for him.
