Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson has paid tribute to Terry Venables after he passed away on Sunday. Venables was 80 years of age.

Robson played for Venables and was also part of his England coaching staff.

He said, “Terry was a brilliant coach to work with and I learned so much from him. He was very good tactically, but also a great motivator and communicator.

“I first worked with him as a player when he was coaching with England Under-21s under Dave Sexton and they were both a great support to me when I broke my leg in my early years at West Brom.

“My international playing career had come to an end by the time he took over as England manager but he brought me back as a coach and that was a brilliant experience working with him and Don Howe at Euro '96 when we got to the semi-finals.

“Later, when I was Middlesbrough manager, we were going through a tough period and I wanted to bring in a top coach, so I asked Terry and we made a great partnership.

“Everyone who worked with Terry will always remember him as someone who lived life with a smile on his face."
