Former Tottenham defender and Wimbledon manager Joe Kinnear has died at the age of 77, his family have announced in a statement.
Dublin-born Kinnear, who won the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup as a player with Tottenham, went on to manage Luton, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle among others.
“A true legend of the club, Joe gave us some amazing memories that we treasure.“Our deepest condolences go to his family at this difficult time.” He spent the next decade at White Hart Lane, lifting the FA Cup in 1967, the UEFA Cup in 1972 and the League Cup in both 1971 and 1973, making more than 250 appearances for the club before spending the final season of his playing career at Brighton.
Kinnear led the Dons to a sixth-placed finish in the top flight in the 1993-94 season and guided them to the semi-finals of both the FA Cup and League Cup in 1997.
