We used to get to White Hart Lane early just to see him warm up, he was that good. Chanted his name…he always waved back. Most skilfull player I’ve ever seen in 50 years of watching football.
@tantutotem lol if there has only been one English player with a magic touch you don’t know your football that well.what about Bobby Charton{all time Man u scorer from midfield)Bobby More(great captain,footballer)Gazza(if not 4 injury+crazy could of been best midfielder in the 90’s)Mattews(played 4 England at 42years)Greaves(great England forward ) i can go on and on Owen,Lineker,Banks,Youtube John Barnes! my idol was Maradona (greatest)one of his was Kevin Keegan.made Liverpool,Hamburg great.

Hail to the playmaker!
english football style
@tantutotem Look at chris waddle also matt le tissier and also even paul gascoine and more just cant think of them all at the momment
Hod is the only player I can remember seeing that could regularly outpass Beckham. Not respected in his own country but worshipped on the continent. Like Bec’m the press seemed to concentrate on the gaps in his game, rather than looking at the things he did brilliantly (Becks was no dribbler but arguably the best passer/crosser/setplay taker of his generation) people just winged that Hod couldn’t crunch-tackle a man/forget the magical technique, balance and vision. Brit obsession with work eth’c
Hoddle is the only player I can remember seeing (not live) that could regularly outpass Beckham. Not respected in his own country but worshipped on the continent. Like Beckham the press seemed at times to concentrate on the gaps in his game, rather than looking at the things he did better than anyone – not dis-similiar to Beckham (no dribbler but arguably the best passer/crosser/setplay taker of his generation) people just winged that Hod couldn’t crunch tackle a man.
@daz70den Hoddle was 1 of the classiest players I’ve ever seen but like many players with such god given talents, team work & doing the ugly but necessary things were never particularly high on his list of priorities. I think you do Beckham a great disservice. His performance for Beckham against Greece in the 1001 world cup qualifier was little short of superhuman. If Hoddle had played in that side instead of Beckham, I doubt we’d have qualified. I’m no fan of Beckham but credit where it’s due.
Glenn Hoddle was is a class of his own!
@morphybum Actually, it was against Oxford Utd. Despite of all his long-range spectacular goals, that was the sweetest of them all!
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
at last, finally! An English player with the magic touch. Im Argentinean, with all that that implies regarding England…but I congratulate you people. Thought there had never been a player like this one in there. Delicious.
You should have used Diamond Lights in the background.
@daz70den
I’m a west ham fan and it annoys me all the praise Beckham gets. Beckham was never in the same quality of players like Hoddle and Brooking.
COYS!
@morphybum Watford, I think.
who is that sublime final goal against?
@CardinalJim 1981 FA CUP 1982 FA CUP 1983-1984 UEFA CUP and never out of the top 6 ! You dont know what your talking about mate
@ruttle67 But Le Tissier was a Spurs fan who grew up idolising none other than Glenn Hoddle. Le Tissier dreamed of playing for Spurs & came within an inch of signing for us but changed his mind last second over a disagreement. Of course, he loves the Saints now, but back then he was deffo a Yid.
@CardinalJim mid-table team? In them days the FA Cup was far more important anyway & Spurs won it twice & were runners-up in 87 too, not to mention the UEFA Cup in ’84. In the 80’s we were 1 of the best in the country. We were in touching distance of an unprecedented domestic treble in 86-87 but just fell short in the last month of the season. We finished top 4 in 4 out of 6 seasons in the 80’s whilst Hodd was at the club.
legend ! LOVE the music !
That goal at 1.40 was nothing short of sublime. Supurb player.
England’s best team was in the 80s when they had players like Hoddle, Waddle, Barnes, Beardsley and Gascoigne. These were all technically gifted players. Englands most technical player Rooney is not as skillful as these guys were. However at the start of his career Rooney did have some good skill but Ferguson has converted him into a penalty box poacher.
He really looked like a good player, Probably the best English player of his day. I also admire his honesty about the recent England lacking technical ability. Then opening up academy in Spain, Taking on English players rejected from the Premiership clubs for some stupid reason, Then offering them to 4 division Spanish side Jerez industrial CF for free. It’s a man with a plan pioneering a different way if getting English talent to start playing proper football. All I can say is fuck the F.A!
