Terry Venables was a "brilliant man who made people feel special", said England manager Gareth Southgate as he led tributes to the late Three Lions boss.
Venables has died at the age of 80 following a long illness.
There was a minute's applause before Tottenham's game with Aston Villa, with the players wearing black armbands.
"He had a wonderful manner, capable of handling everyone from the youngest player to the biggest star," said Southgate.
Venables was England manager for two years and led them to the semi-finals of Euro 96, with Southgate in the side after giving him his international debut in 1995.
