Written by I Dig SportsFormer England manager Terry Venables has died at the age of 80, following a long illness.
The news was announced in a statement released by the League Managers' Association on behalf of Venables' family.
It read: "We are totally devastated by the loss of a wonderful husband and father who passed away peacefully yesterday after a long illness. We would ask that privacy be given at this incredibly sad time to allow us to mourn the loss of this lovely man who we were so lucky to have had in our lives."
