Struggled to qualify but once at the World Cup had a much harder draw than Gareth Southgate but achieved just as much.

His acumen is unsurpassed, the 4-4-F-2 that won the Mr Clutch Cup for Norwich City stood him in good stead throughout his career.

Who could forget the eagle eye to pick out undiscovered talent like Benson & Hedges from nowhere?

His players and coaching staff always knew exactly what he wanted from them. There were never any signs of confusion at all or players added to squads by mistake.

Had the media eating out of his hand from start to finish. Who can forget the way the media were panicking at the thought he could leave, prior to him reading 'If'.

The greatest England manager of all time? A 100% record suggests so. Hard to argue with that.

You only have to hear his pronouncements, he is THE tactical genius that all others aspire to be and he would have won everything every season with Real Madrid. We know that is true because he said so.

Not really one for young up-and-coming talent, prefers the older, over the hill players.

His main weakness, as seen by the way he infuriates the fans of the teams he managed with his bizarre press conferences, talking about how great a performance they just watched, when there was not a single shot on target.

The greatest performance by any manager in the media was his, alongside a pint of wine. It truly was masterful work.
