You have to wonder what might have been had he not said/been sacked for those comments.1
-
Superb AND thankyou. Watched that instead of our shower at the moment in Turin...1
-
without doubt the best player I've seen play for Spurs in my lifetime. Probably will remain the case until the day I die.1
-
Better than Ryan Mason?1
-
best passer of the ball & also had a decent shot on him too.1
-
thought the four lads done ok tonight. Was really pleased for Mason. Kane gets the plaudits but Mason has run his socks off every game since coming into the team and he's getting his reward now.Kap10 said:

Thought the goal pretty much summed his season up. Snapped in to win the ball and it broke to Andros to do the rest.1 -
Who talked Mason in to those tatts

Great video, thank you0

Loved watching him play when I was growing up as his range of passing was so good.
Would be interested to see his 'assist' stats if he was playing today.
Always remember the chip versus Watford (6 mins 30 seconds in the video) - although Jensen's at Arsenal ran it close!1 -
The Watford chip and some flying volleys are what I remember. One of those players who you could tell was on the ball at a glance, just from how comfortable he was.
Didn't realise he was so good with his left foot either.1 -
What a player. Only 53 caps, ridiculous. In those days England managers seemed to distrust skilful players and now we are crying out for someone with even half his talent.2

Just been reported on 5live thatRoy Hodgson said in the written media conference that he has had talks with Hodd and he will be joining the England set up once QPR are relegated at the end of the season. Great news IMHO.5

I said to my lad. 'How many players do you know who could plant a 40 yard pass to feet with either boot?'.
I was watching Delph last night and allthough he was decent enough and with a better right boot than many for a left footer, he kept having to adjust his run to compensate for his left-footedness every time he was being pressed and afraid to play a weak ball with his right peg - the right thing to do to avoid losing possession but slows the game and prevents moving the ball both quickly and in a forward direction - and defences know this and know from which angle to press him - a different world to playing Hoddle or Best.0 -
Hope the player's clubs don't object to Glenn technical coaching - they don't want to spoil their hard years of coaching playing with one boot.Riviera said:Just been reported on 5live thatRoy Hodgson said in the written media conference that he has had talks with Hodd and he will be joining the England set up once QPR are relegated at the end of the season.

Great player, poor manager.
Remember beating his Swindon at Upton Park, in fact we played them off the park, he gave us no credit and said it was all long ball.0 -
If he'd been Italian, Spanish or South American he'd have had a century of caps and teams built round him. He'd have been up there with the very, very best.
IMHO opinion British coaches wasted his talent.
Best English player I saw by a country mile.6 - Sponsored links:

we have always been to intent on getting the Hoddles, Le Tissiers or Gazzas to fit into a system, rather than using a system that brings the best out of our most talented players.11

But a bloody good coach.guinnessaddick said:Great player, poor manager.
I would have gladly had him back at WHL after Levy got rid of AVB instead of Sherwood!

Just watched the video in full.
Boy, we could do with a Glenn Hoddle in the England team today.
Absolute genius of a footballer.0 -
I would have in the England set up now - no danger!! Talks so well about the game and as a kid he was my hero! (Despite my Arsenal tendencies at the time!!)0
-
Only a month or so ago he said he wanted Gerrard and Lampard together in Cm for England! I don't want someone like that running the team!!bazjonster said:I would have in the England set up now - no danger!! Talks so well about the game and as a kid he was my hero!

I found it very strange when he played Ince and Batty together in CM, seemed to go totally against what he stood for.cantersaddick said:

Should've built a team around Le tiss and scholes. Would've been quality. One of a long line of England managers who overlooked the technical players. Personally think svens 2002 side were miles better than the 98 team.MrOneLung said:we have always been to intent on getting the Hoddles, Le Tissiers or Gazzas to fit into a system, rather than using a system that brings the best out of our most talented players.

Le tiss was not a team player hence why he had very few caps.1
-
Would have/still loved him manage Charlton...........Fantastic player, definitely world class. Very good coach as well.1

Great player, lousy manager and a bit of a Nazi when it came to his thoughts on disabled people. If there is another life after this one and he does come back, then I hope he ends up in a wheel chair.
And when it came to passing a ball, Johnny Haynes excelled above all others.0
