April 8 – Joe Kinnear, who won the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup as a fullback during a decade at Tottenham Hotspur, has died at 77.
Kinnear’s death was announced on Sunday by his family. He had been living with dementia since 2015.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou paid tribute to Kinnear, who joined the club as a teenager in 1963, after his team’s 3-1 win against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday.
“He will be remembered at this football club forever,” Postecoglou said. “A real gentleman, a tough loss.”
Kinnear, who went on to manage several clubs including Wimbledon and Newcastle, made 26 appearances for the Republic of Ireland during his playing career.
