Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Former Tottenham Hotspur defender and Wimbledon manager Joe Kinnear has died aged 77, his family said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The ex-Ireland international, who won 26 caps, had been living with dementia since 2015 and finished his managerial career in 2009 with Newcastle United.\u201cWe are sad to announce that Joe passed away peacefully this afternoon surrounded by his family,\u201d said the statement reported by the BBC.<\/p>\n

In 10 years at Spurs, Kinnear won the League Cup twice, FA Cup and Uefa Cup before leaving in 1975 for Brighton & Hove Albion. He retired at 30 the following year after a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Kinnear had short spells in charge of India and Nepal and then managed Wimbledon from 1992 to 1999 before stints at Luton Town, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou described Kinnear as \u201cone of these figures that will always be remembered at this football club for his achievements\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kinnear \u201cwas a distinguished manager and outstanding player. All our love and support goes out to his family and friends,\u201d he added after Spurs’ win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.<\/p>\n
