He was Arsenal manager on that glorioys day in May 1980.
Bit of a hard bastard in his playing days as well.
RIP Tezza

Outdone tactically by John Lyall in 1980, but RIP.

As zico says, absolutely taken to the cleaners by Lyall, their players kept looking over to Neill on the touchline, they couldn't figure our formation out
Anyway RIP

Our past slowly leaves us...
RIP, Terry, even as a manger of an opposing team, you were part of the rich tapestry that enveloped my childhood.

Arguably put the Boring, Boring into Arsenal. However it was effective.
RIP.

I watch the big match revisited and you see him on it a lot,he was a very young manager which was quite unusual back then.

I remember him doing commentary on Capital Gold, around the same time as Sir Bobby and Jonathan Pearce.

Sad news. As said was synonymous with growing up and football in the late 70's/early 80's, and was 'credited' for bringing Don Howe into top flight football. he was a good pundit on Talksport also, and yes I went to his wine bar a couple of times.
RIP.

I'm sure he was a nice bloke, but he was the one who put Boring into Arsenal.

Had forgotten that he was Spurs manager for a couple of seasons (appointed at 32) before Arsenal pinched him back.
Lost the 78 FA Cup final to Ipswich before beating Man U in 79 with the late Sunderland goal.
To me that just makes 1980 even better .... a very one sided 1-0 for a team from the division below against a team in their third successive FA Cup final. An immense achievement and as said John Lyall just outfoxed Neill and Arsenal tactically.
Think Arsenal were boring well before Neill & was reading his time there went downhill after he signed Lee Chapman and later the very expensive Charlie Nicholas.
As a few have said these deaths just feel like another break from links to your childhood even they werent West Ham.
RIP

In the 70's, to get a team to three F.A. Cup Finals in a row was some achievement. To lose two out of three would have been unbearable.
