The Magic Of Glenn Hoddle
For those who only know him as an egotistical football manager and as the man with disturbing views on people with disabilities then watch these clips I’ve linked below and relish in the mastery of one of England’s finest ever footballers, Glenn Hoddle.
Pele has said that Hoddle was so brilliant that if he was Brazilian he would have won 100 caps for them, even in that great midfield of Zico and Socrates but he was never truly favoured by the dour English during the late 1970s and 1980s and it’s truly hard to fathom.
A masterful passer and striker of a ball, Hoddle weighed in regularly with large goal hauls in that great Tottenham side of the early 1980s and his exquisite skills still look world class today.
Glenn Hoddle was my first real Spurs icon when I was young and will always be one of my all time favourite players, regardless of what he did or didn’t do as a manager especially at White Hart Lane.
Watch these goals and you’ll see a little of his magic. Glenn Hoddle, we salute you.
