Yes, lovely fellow and a great coach.
I used to see him in the press box at Arsenal in the mid 80's (long story...) and I was at the post match conference versus Coventry, I think, when he resigned in 86, having supposedly got wind Arsenal were looking to replace him with Venables. In fact they got Graham and the rest, as they say, is history.
