David Seaman recalls amusing Paul Gascoigne story as he pays tribute to Terry Venables

David Seaman has paid tribute to Terry Venables, revealing how the former England manager would ask him to “calm down” Paul Gascoigne during Euro 96.

“He always had a smile on his face, even when he was angry,” the former goalkeeper said.

“I remember during Euro 96, we’d been in the hotel and locked away for quite a long time.

“He’d be like, ‘David, can you take Gazza fishing, he’s really winding me up’. His man management was brilliant. So I would take Gazza out fishing and calm him down.”
