I don't think we'll ever see such an elegant, classy, two-footed maestro quite this joyful to watch again, and this makes me a little sad. Partly because Glenn was a little unfulfilled as a player for various reasons (though he still left behind a great body of work, that's for sure!) and partly because no one will ever be as good to watch. But thanks for the memories, Glenn. Great video.
Most naturally talented English footballer that has ever graced the game. Born in an era of 'hoof it upfield' footy of early 80s he was a class apart. Europe was in awe of him could not understand why England didn't build the team around him. Tottenham legend would be worth millions today. Hod - thanks for the memories
i watch this clip every day before practice and games, this is has inspired me more then any player in my generation could ever have. I wish i was born earlier to see this guy in his prime.
this man was a gifted footballer , we are lucky to have seen him and his magic touch . open your eyes and watch the skill of a true great !!!!!!! FK HERO
I was 49 yesterday, Thankfully old enough to have seen this genius live, I was lucky enough to have been at many of his game including the Oxford game, his last for Spurs, loved the way he dummies on to his backside, and his twist and turn away at Watford, are 2 of my top 5 goals, then there's the volley against Man utd.......legend, who only tarnished his deity by playing then managing Chelski, and helping raise them from 2nd division where they belonged
I was there at white hart lane for the goal he scored against Oxford....I couldn't wait to see it again on the match of the day that night....knew it would be shown.....one of his best goals.......do you realize with one stroke of the ball he went from his own end through the legs of one defender then dummied the goaltender......brilliant...we had a great team that year.....we should of won a trophy we were in all 3 of them that year..... semi final of the league cup...fa.cup runner up...3rd place in the league.
no amount of money can buy that spiritual home for a player, that has to be the most important thing somewhere they feel love off fans players and coaches,hoddle was special and intelligent with it,Hoddle and spurs were made for each other.
"BIGGS....tuck your shirt in....." "But Glenn Hoddle has his shirt out Sir?" "You ain't no Glenn Hoddle...." Shattered dreams...wicked upload with Carly Simon ...thanksXX
I am a Man Utd fan but I loved that Spurs team of the late 70's early 80's. Hoddle,Perryman,Crooks,Roberts, Archibald, Miller, Houghton and all. Big mistake was England building a team around Keegan. In Spain,Germany,Brazil, Italy and France Glenn Hoddle would have been a GOD!
That goal against Watford football doesn't get any better than that, his career defining goal and it looks even better in slow motion balance poise and a moment of beauty as the ball glided over the keeper.
+Greg Noon And what about the one v Oxford Utd from the half way line ha ha ha i was there that day all the way from Belgium i think it was his last game for Spurs before he moved to Monaco
Hoddle, Waddle, Gazza, Wilkins, Barnes, Beardsley, Cowans, Platt all played for England in a decade. Now we have Henderson and Walcott. Where did all our technical ability go?!
For some reason English players of this quality never get any recognition they deserve!! Case in point people rave about Lampard and Gerrard but neither one of those two were fit to lace Paul Scholes boots. I'd imagine from purely an English perspective Glenn was untouchable in his day - although he only got like 50 odd caps? Surely he should have had 100 and the team be built around him? He reminds me a bit of Pirlo.
I dunno Gareth I'm with you in that Scholes didn't have a great England career but he was also pushed out of position on the left too often for Eriksson. Under Glenn Hoddle Scholes was kind of decent.
When these 3 players : Hoddle, Waddle, Barnes played at the same time for England, the moment I would be waiting for was the freekick, esp when left foot was favoured to use; Waddle and Barnes, usually gave it up to Hoddle.
i first saw hoddle at the FA cup Final against Man City then against QPR. i was 13 and thanks to him i began to appreciate the playmakers in the game. Unlike George Best, Liam Brady, Charlton or any, Hoddle was the only one who COULD DO A NUTMEG IN 1 SECCOND folloed by a goal-assisting 30 metre pass the very next SECOND ! UBERCLASS !
Ien Obik This is english football!They like players who can't even control the ball and players who are more like wrestlers and not technicians.That's the reason that Hoddle never been appreciated such as other english players.Hoddle was a real genius.If he was playing in Netherlands,in Germany,in France,in Spain or in Italy he would be a hero.
Ien Obik And let me say that traditional english football philosophy and playing style is awful and disgusting.They 're playing constantly with high passes and the ball is always in the air.They don't like beautiful and technical football and most of them CAN'T play beautiful and technical football.English football was dominating by artless ''woodcutters''.Premier league became the best league in the world due to FOREIGN players.Everyone knows that.Personally,I love dutch football philosophy and style because it's the exact opposite.
Oh and my almost namesake Gareth Hall (I'm Gary Hall !!)-is spot on about Scholes-classic example of a player becoming better in his absence because of the failure of others-Scholes(for England) had to score to remind you he was playing at times I felt-btw I have nothing against Utd particularly-Giggs was wonderful. Do slightly disagree with you Gareth on Shearer, mind.
In 1986, the problem was in the defense. In 1990, it was Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle to be blamed for their penalty shot miss. In 1998, almost everyone blamed Beckham. In 2002, it was David Seaman's nightmare. In 2006, well...Rooney ? CR7 provocation ? or Ricardo's 3 penalty save ? In 2010.. all players to be blamed ?
hoddle hoddle hoddle hoddle, born is the king of white hart lane. the goal at 2:40 should be the whole move from the free kick not just the shot. but great video
The volleys against my team and hero(Forest and Shilts) and United were incredible and the Watford -goal divine skill. Eng chose to build the team in the 80s around injury-prone workmanlike Robson and regarded Hod as a luxury-which says all you need to know about English football sadly-Utd fans would slate me over this but Utd and (to a much lesser degree) England found some 'success' once Robson had done. Got so sick of watching Eng mid of Robson and Wilkins during the 80's-not fit to lace Hoddles boots(but he didn't backtrack you know !!!!)
who's the goal against that starts at 1:36 ? probably the best individual goal ever and yet he only beat 1 player and the goalie pure class goal, that one cheers
I'd prefer him playing for Real Madrid instead of Barca so at El Classico we could see him battling in midfield against Xavi/Iniesta/Fabregas. Besides, we would see him teach Cristiano Ronaldo how to take the freekick and long range shot by both right and left foot.
Dalglish was great, prob best in scotland at the time. But he was no playmaker, more the creative forward type. During his Liverpool days, it was Souness who was the team's engine. A tough no nonsense defensive midfielder similar to Dunga. Liverpool only had a playmaker when Molby came along.
I thought then that only me who was disappointed when Robson didn't call him into England squad for WC 1990. But I don't blame Neil Webb, as he has skill too. I would rather remove Steve McMahon/Steve Hodge/Trevor Steven and give his place to Hoddle.
A good player, but somewhat over rated I've always thought. I watched him a lot in his playing days and thought some people were quite precious about talking him up. The second to last goal in this vid is exceptional though... and he could get some real power into longer range shots with those long legs.
The most gifted midfielder produced in England. He could be what platini or Cruijff was for France and Oranje respectively, just that there were some pretty dumb England managers who couldnt decide whether to build the team around him or play the traditional physical english game. Eventually physicality won the order of the day, & so Hoddle's England career came to an end - 55 caps. The same dumb managers who thot that Shilton was better than Clem after a period of indecision!
that goal was brilliant , but remember the goal was not given because SHEARER fouled the keeper. ps cppleewox would not no a genius if it hit him in the face
@tysonlefthook gazza was smoking and drinking and didnt even play for a club because rangers sacked him, think you should take that comment back hoddle probly best englad manager since venebles he took us to a penalty shoot out with an incredible argina side with ten men!
No I am insightful, Platini one of the greatest ever even said the same in not much words, in this country we have always historically been a nation that squanders flared or technically gifted talent either shifting them out them out to the wing ( Beckham, Scholes, J.Cole etc) or not playing them at all (Shackleton, Hudson, Bowles,Cunningham,LeTissier etc) or castrating them for their lack work ethic (Hoodle etc), Zidane Talent would of never had a chance in the stone age mentality of our game.
I agree, but Gerrard has really yet to perform in in England shirt, compared to what he's done at club level. Hoddle was great at both club and international level, although I'll grant you he was a p1ss poor England Mananger
No disrespect to spurs but he was to loyal to them . Imagine Glenn at barca today , shame he did not play in italia 90 england would have pissed it .....bobby robson selected neil webb !!
hello , I saw Gazza Peters Chivers , ardiles , villa , oh i forgot Iam 56 yrs sonny so dont call your elders names it is not nice . be nice !! on the net
You tell me then. My bad, i included Best, he is not English. Of those that i said only Charlton get close to the greatest South American players, and some others Europeans players like Cruyff, Platini, Beckenbauer and Puskas.
The most gifted footballer of a generation.
I don't think we'll ever see such an elegant, classy, two-footed maestro quite this joyful to watch again, and this makes me a little sad. Partly because Glenn was a little unfulfilled as a player for various reasons (though he still left behind a great body of work, that's for sure!) and partly because no one will ever be as good to watch.

Great video mate!! Thanks! He was another Pele but never got the recognition he deserved!
Glenn Hoddle=PERFECTION!
Without a doubt the most sublimely gifted footballer England has produced in my lifetime. Why is he not a central part of the current England set-up?
i watch this clip every day before practice and games, this is has inspired me more then any player in my generation could ever have. I wish i was born earlier to see this guy in his prime.
Still the best video on the internet 👍
He's the reason I'm a football fan! Nobody does it better :D Excellent vid! xx
BEST PLAYER I SAW
he was bloody good!
this man was a gifted footballer , we are lucky
to have seen him and his magic touch .
open your eyes and watch the skill of a true great !!!!!!! FK HERO
The reason I became a Spurs fan, he was the greatest
Breathtaking.
Unbelievable player!
THE MASTER !!!!!!
This man is amazing....

Platt? PLATT? Gotta be a wind up? Fair play, you nearly had me there.....
he was is and will be my alltime fav. tottenham player! spurs forever....
no amount of money can buy that spiritual home for a player, that has to be the most important thing somewhere they feel love off fans players and coaches,hoddle was special and intelligent with it,Hoddle and spurs were made for each other.
"BIGGS....tuck your shirt in....."
"But Glenn Hoddle has his shirt out Sir?"
"You ain't no Glenn Hoddle...."
Shattered dreams...wicked upload with Carly Simon ...thanksXX
hahaha
Legend - VERY proud to have him a part of Chelsea's History!!
Bobbie
FOREVER Chelsea!!
:)
Happier times. :)
just loved that goal v manu, what vision and technique ! some quality snippets there of The Man in the Middle, quality
the best player in the world ever
need this song with the original music, was perfect
Agree 100%. The team should have been built around him.
I was that game with my dad vs Oxford...great moment
Glenn hoddle was the best THATS IT
I could no way have said it better myself mate!! He was another Pele!
THAT chip!
Mate, what would he be worth today? Absolute Tottenham legend.
I am a Man Utd fan but I loved that Spurs team of the late 70's early 80's. Hoddle,Perryman,Crooks,Roberts, Archibald, Miller, Houghton and all. Big mistake was England building a team around Keegan. In Spain,Germany,Brazil, Italy and France Glenn Hoddle would have been a GOD!
Love the Oxford goal on his last Spurs appearance(I believe)-Cloughie also tried to sign him-shame it didn't happen , he was a big admirer of Hod
Put it this way.......The man is GOD and that's that.
That goal against Watford football doesn't get any better than that, his career defining goal and it looks even better in slow motion balance poise and a moment of beauty as the ball glided over the keeper.
Brilliant goal at anfield,the volley!
+Greg Noon And what about the one v Oxford Utd from the half way line ha ha ha i was there that day all the way from Belgium i think it was his last game for Spurs before he moved to Monaco
He was a boss player
Called the hoddle effect.
great player
that man could peel an onion in his pocket,spurs,s greatest player,tell
the closest player we've had to Zidane. Brian Clough once said that had he been England manager, he would have built the whole team around Hoddle.
Hoddle for England manager (again)!
1:37 and 1:42... that's the feeblest defending and goalkeeping I've ever seen.
Hoddle, Waddle, Gazza, Wilkins, Barnes, Beardsley, Cowans, Platt all played for England in a decade. Now we have Henderson and Walcott. Where did all our technical ability go?!
For some reason English players of this quality never get any recognition they deserve!! Case in point people rave about Lampard and Gerrard but neither one of those two were fit to lace Paul Scholes boots. I'd imagine from purely an English perspective Glenn was untouchable in his day - although he only got like 50 odd caps? Surely he should have had 100 and the team be built around him? He reminds me a bit of Pirlo.
I dunno Gareth I'm with you in that Scholes didn't have a great England career but he was also pushed out of position on the left too often for Eriksson. Under Glenn Hoddle Scholes was kind of decent.
youre so right
horse shit sven the daft swede played scholes on wing for god sakes
When these 3 players : Hoddle, Waddle, Barnes played at the same time for England, the moment I would be waiting for was the freekick, esp when left foot was favoured to use; Waddle and Barnes, usually gave it up to Hoddle.
I don't think I've ever seen a player make more goalkeepers fall on their asses than this guy
An country for that matter.
i first saw hoddle at the FA cup Final against Man City then against QPR. i was 13 and thanks to him i began to appreciate the playmakers in the game. Unlike George Best, Liam Brady, Charlton or any, Hoddle was the only one who COULD DO A NUTMEG IN 1 SECCOND folloed by a goal-assisting 30 metre pass the very next SECOND ! UBERCLASS !
The fact as a country we've never appreciated his kind of talents says it all.
Ien Obik This is english football!They like players who can't even control the ball and players who are more like wrestlers and not technicians.That's the reason that Hoddle never been appreciated such as other english players.Hoddle was a real genius.If he was playing in Netherlands,in Germany,in France,in Spain or in Italy he would be a hero.

Asene Wenger quote, there's only two footballers I've managed that i couldn't figure out what their stronger foot is Hoddle and Carzola.
and don't forget the most talent one Le Tissier, England wasted them when they got it...
Charlton, Best, Gascoigne, Lineker, Barnes, Hoddle. These are the few talented of the English futebol.
"glenn hoodle is old as fuck" - Gareth McClane
Class Act - if we had a midfielder who was remotely as creative right now, we may even have half a chance of winning the world cup!
Oh and my almost namesake Gareth Hall (I'm Gary Hall !!)-is spot on about Scholes-classic example of a player becoming better in his absence because of the failure of others-Scholes(for England) had to score to remind you he was playing at times I felt-btw I have nothing against Utd particularly-Giggs was wonderful. Do slightly disagree with you Gareth on Shearer, mind.
Bu adam topa nasil vuruyo yahuu
if only england could have built a team around him;
F*CKING LEDGEND
THE GAME IS ABOUT GLORY ------ COME ON YOU SPURS ----- TO DARE IS TO DO...glory glory tottenham hotspur
In 1986, the problem was in the defense. In 1990, it was Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle to be blamed for their penalty shot miss. In 1998, almost everyone blamed Beckham.

HA!
good call on that, lol
That's a fucking hard question.
I really don't know...
Hoddle was too good for England,one of the Dutch internationals at the time said they would have built the Dutch team around Hoddle,'nuff said.
hoddle hoddle hoddle hoddle, born is the king of white hart lane.
the goal at 2:40 should be the whole move from the free kick not just the shot. but great video

SuperForest78 I WANT TO THAT SPURS FOREST GAME IN 79
1:38
you don't realise how paradoxical that statement is, do you?
who's the goal against that starts at 1:36 ?
probably the best individual goal ever and yet he only beat 1 player and the goalie
pure class goal, that one
cheers
right footed
but he was so talented, it didn't matter to be honest
it wouldnt be wrong to put him up there with the all time greats its a shame that at the time our game preffered grafters not world class talent
I'd prefer him playing for Real Madrid instead of Barca so at El Classico we could see him battling in midfield against Xavi/Iniesta/Fabregas. Besides, we would see him teach Cristiano Ronaldo how to take the freekick and long range shot by both right and left foot.
the balls to be honest were actually a little lighter, like playing with a slighty heavier volleyball.
what was the original song of the video?
Dalglish was great, prob best in scotland at the time. But he was no playmaker, more the creative forward type. During his Liverpool days, it was Souness who was the team's engine. A tough no nonsense defensive midfielder similar to Dunga. Liverpool only had a playmaker when Molby came along.
what is the song?
Well put it this way I would rather have him than Roy Hodgson, Hoddle has more ideas where as Roy is predictable.
I thought then that only me who was disappointed when Robson didn't call him into England squad for WC 1990. But I don't blame Neil Webb, as he has skill too. I would rather remove Steve McMahon/Steve Hodge/Trevor Steven and give his place to Hoddle.

if hoddle was french or german he would be no 1 player in their country
if platini or matthaus were english they would be wasted
that goal was brilliant , but remember the goal was not given because SHEARER fouled the keeper.
ps cppleewox would not no a genius if it hit him
in the face
...and Le Tiss was also a genius-who England did not use-pathetic
more arsenal players have played for england in the current euros than spurs players fella
hoddle was the most gifted british player in the last 40 years
better than Beckham gascoigne and gerrard
i felt he should have moved abroad in 1982
@tysonlefthook gazza was smoking and drinking and didnt even play for a club because rangers sacked him, think you should take that comment back hoddle probly best englad manager since venebles he took us to a penalty shoot out with an incredible argina side with ten men!
@Soyuz19 If Zidane was English his talent wouldn't be encouraged Hoddle would of been a bigger player if he wasn' born in England.
No I am insightful, Platini one of the greatest ever even said the same in not much words, in this country we have always historically been a nation that squanders flared or technically gifted talent either shifting them out them out to the wing ( Beckham, Scholes, J.Cole etc) or not playing them at all (Shackleton, Hudson, Bowles,Cunningham,LeTissier etc) or castrating them for their lack work ethic (Hoodle etc), Zidane Talent would of never had a chance in the stone age mentality of our game.

yo u should check our team again
Great player but mad as a box of frogs
No disrespect to spurs but he was to loyal to them . Imagine Glenn at barca today , shame he did not play in italia 90 england would have pissed it .....bobby robson selected neil webb !!
hello , I saw Gazza Peters Chivers , ardiles , villa , oh i forgot Iam 56 yrs sonny so dont call your elders names it is not nice .
be nice !! on the net
he seems southamerican cause of his technique. But, how many caps he play for England??? not many, really??? why?? he was a fantastic player........
You tell me then. My bad, i included Best, he is not English. Of those that i said only Charlton get close to the greatest South American players, and some others Europeans players like Cruyff, Platini, Beckenbauer and Puskas.
dalglish?
English players
Arsenal: 10
Tottenham: 15
plenty more than that, do some more research
@arsenalgoonerable not as good as ray pikey parlour eh?? lol
another gooner who cant see englsh players when his team are foreign..suprised that french is home dressing room language at arsenal
