From one of the Euro threads, Enzo Bearzott seems to have smoked a pipe during Euro 80. Menotti famously seemed to get through about four packs in every Argentina 78 game. Are there any other famous smokers?

Johan Cruyff, of course. Sadly, he rather paid for it in the end.

Fritz Korbach (considerably stretching "famous"; he was active in the Dutch league for quite a while, and smoking was a trademark of his)

One of the more remarkable sights in Bundesliga games is to see fans smoking. In the stands. In 2016.

Big Jack famously took up smoking again during that ROI penalty shoot out at Italia 90!

Joe Harvey was a legendary chain smoker... though cant find any pictures.

We had two in a row. There's quite a well-used picture of Big Jack at it but I can't find it. Then came John Neal.

There's one of Hennes Weisweiler as well but I can't find that either.

Have we forgotten about Jogi Löw fogging up the time-out room at Euro 2008?

But no smoking coach ever looked cooler than Klaus Toppmöller.

Raymond Goethals is a strange cross between Charles Bronson and Hurricane Higgins.

The second best manager Greece ever had. Legend. I think only 5 defeats in 4 years.

There's bits of Roman Polanski and Peter Falk in there too.

Remember that Platini impressions thread a few months back? We may very have a part II...
