Dave Sexton

Died today,aged 82.Manager of Chelsea,QPR and Manchester United among others,i think he was sacked at Manchester United after winning 9 games in a row and only finishing runners-up.One of the old school managers,apparently he was an excellent coach but not the type to be messed with and would offer any dissenting player a tear up behind the grandstand if he felt that things needed sorting out.I seem to remember that he was involved with England at one time as well.Sad news,another household name from my boyhood bites the dust.

I think I heard on the 5Live that he also won the Euro Championships twice whilst managing the England u21's.

The announcement of his passing at Chelsea certainly stopped the anti-Rafa booing.

Gary Neville was very complimentary and had been coached by him. RIP Dave Sexton.

Sad news indeed!

RIP Dave Sexton.

What a great Chelsea team he captained!
RIP

An excellent Manager and Coach. His QPR team of the mid seventies played some of the finest football I've ever seen from an English club side.

RIP
