Terry Venables was a hugely popular but controversial figure. He rose to prominence as manager of Crystal Palace and QPR but became a national figure when he won the Spanish league title with Barcelona in his first season. His return to boyhood club Tottenham seemed to be triumphal with the signings of Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne but his reign ended in a costly courtroom battle.
Having helped Sugar takeover the London club, being installed as Chief Executive, his relationship with the Amstrad boss quickly soured and the subsequent legal battle threatened his life-time ambition of managing England.
This is a new edition of the original book Venables: The Inside Story now updated to include reflections on Venables’ greatest triumph in narrowly failing to lead the national team to glory at Euro '96 and his later managerial career taking in teams all over the globe from Middlesbrough to Australia.
