Happy birthday Mr. Hoddle!

[DublinSpur]

The club tweeted one of my favourite ever goals as a happy birthday to the great Glenn Hoddle. AS Monaco responded nicely.

Classy.

My all time favourite player, but I'm less than enamored with him as an BT in game pundit.

But Happy Birthday nonetheless, eh?!

Yes of course, forgot that.

Blasphemer!
My hero as a kid, I spent half childhood pretending to be him or jack Nicklaus. Ah youth, whatever happened to you!

One with his right, one with his left. Sublime.

Best player ( along with Greaves) I have seen in a Spurs shirt.

Have a great day Glenn.

Sheer class and it was an honour to watch him for as long as I did. What a shame Engerland didn't build their midfield around him.

Any team with an ounce of culture would have.

Always been the way with England, pick the graft and hard players above the ones with class.

Michele Platini said that had Hoddle been born French 'he would have won 150 caps'.

 

[Gazza]

shame that if he was reincarnated in today's era he would still not have the team built around him.

I don't have rose tints on ... but had the same if not more technical ability than zidane

Yes.
I had the pleasure of being at Vicarage Road that day; gobsmacked. Never seen that Monaco goal before, my word, what a peach! Such a fantastic player.

Absolutely.
I saw his England debut too...thought it was the beginning of a 100+...:-( thanks Greenwood you bellend.

You will not spend 16 minutes more constructively today. Alarming when I look back and realize how many of these games I was at and how much we took him for granted. I can honestly say I teared up watching this...that final goal against Oxford, jesus fudging christ!

More...

He really was a genius and one of a rare breed in that he was great with both feet, as for goals I will always remember that free kick goal against Utd.

I think the chances are he would have done so for most world teams.

Special indeed. F'ing genius.

The most natural footballer this world has seen. Others may have got as good or better through hard work but that man just had it. A bit like Berbatov in that sense but 100x as good!

When you take into account the pitches, balls, boots, opposition, rules etc. he'd have to be in the running for best in the world if he was playing now.
