This has really upset me. A classy player and person who has died far too young. RIP0

Before my time as a player, never rated him as a manager but always came across as a decent fella. Signed Bowyer for West Ham too. RIP0

Defensive midfielder, I think, creator of what QPR fans called ‘the Roeder shuffle’, the trick where while dribbling you dummy with your right foot while playing the ball with your left. No age to go. RIP Glenn.Richard J said:Classy defender for Orient and QPR. Remember him well

Sad news, though I wish the BBC hadn't said the following on their website"As a player, Glenn enjoyed success with QPR and Newcastle, among others, before establishing himself as one of the country's top coaches, with a well-earned reputation for developing young players, including the likes of Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Glen Johnson and Jermain Defoe during his time with West Ham United.RIP Glenn.

Centre-back at QPR. Partnered Bob Hazell in the 1982 FA Cup Final but was suspended from the replay. Terry Fenwick moved from right-back and Warren Neill came in.JamesSeed said:

Rip.
The double-shuffle was a double-step over at high speed. You just about saw his feet move while he was doing it and is one the best bits of pure skill that I've seen. Roeder would just glide past his opponent as if he wasn't there....almost like running through him. It was ideally suited to the fast-running astroturf pitch at Loftus Road).0 - Sponsored links:

One for the Roader?Carter said:Horrible news, rest in peace
For years we've said having another beer was "having a Glenn"
He always came across as a decent man1 -
I remember a slightly later Alan McDonald/Bob Hazel CB partnership, which may have allowed Roeder to play a different role?Anyway, a very good player and by all accounts one of football’s good guys. Lovely tribute from Pearson.0

May he RIP.0

That's possible. McDonald and Hazell played together from 1983-84 season (McDonald started with us in the latter part of 1982-83 season). Roeder moved to Newcastle in 1983, where he played at the back with Steve Carney and later on with Peter Jackson.JamesSeed said:I remember a slightly later Alan McDonald/Bob Hazel CB partnership, which may have allowed Roeder to play a different role?Anyway, a very good player and by all accounts one of football’s good guys.

Alan MacDonald did very well on loan with us and we wanted to buy him but couldn't afford the quoted £80k. He is another gone too soon.Simonsen said:

A very touching tribute from Jermaine Defoe on talksport yesterday. He was greatly respected within the game, although some may still harbour a grudge Defoe came across very very well0
