Glenn Hoddle picks his three GREATEST players of all time! | The Drop In

I never thought id see hoddle in a nirvana t shirt lol

Ossie said Glenn was like Diego without the pace

My favourite English player!.

Hoddle was a player who made you dream about how the game should/could be played.

What a great story about George Weah.

My first question would be “name me three nirvana songs”

Hoddle was pure genius. Revered around the world by the football greats, an era defining talent Wasted in an England era preoccupied with work rate and crunch tackling. Cruyff gave Hoddle his shirt after the Spurs vs Ajax game & called him “The new master”

I always remember German international paul breitner saying at the time that every country in Europe would base their team around Glenn Hoddle ....but not England

Thoroughly enjoyed this.

I loved the interviewer as much as legendary Hoddle 😍

Great interview

Glenn probably thought the Nirvana t-shirt was the Buddhist definition of the word - and as for that haircut!! 😂 Best British player I've ever seen though - pure class!

Glenn has graduated from Kenny G to Nirvana!

When a player this great and intelligent says Maradona is the greatest to ever play, kids need to listen.

Glenn as always been, a great football raconteur. Didn't see Weah coming, has his 3rd greatest player. After naming Cruyff & Maradona. I thought Glenn would have gone onto say Messi. I think, Thierry Henry, had Weah also, as the greatest player he played with. Ahead of Zidane, Ronaldinho, Messi. Seems there's something about Messi, Glenn's not quite sold on. I grew up watching, when they were playing. All the players Glenn listed. Messi is simply. The greatest controller of a moving ball, I've ever seen. He exercises such tight, close control on the ball. Dribble- breaking, the most tightest, cohesive lines, while pressed by numerous opponents. While taking, such incredible fast touches, to manoeuvre his way out. Making it all, look so easy. Which off course, it isn't. Just mind blowing! 🤯

Oh, and by the way, best England manager we had in recent years judging by what the team did on the field. If he were managing this present bunch, we would have won something by now!

Brilliant Glenn u one of my heros especially at spurs...lovely interview goes with your ability to ping that ball u and Beck's are the best at it

Should never have had to leave the England job, an incredible football mind with the pedigree and skill that players still talk about today .

I listened to this at the time... but WHAT?!!?! Glenn is wearing a Nirvana Tshirt!?!!?!

0:50 FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL: Johan Cruijff did not forgo for the 1978 worldcup because of 'internal team troubles' but because his family got robbed at gun point a couple of months before. That was a traumatic experience. He and his wife were tied up with a gun at the head ! The famility had to live for over half a year under tight police protection ! At the time there were a lot of assaults on footballers, celebs and politicians and the Spanish police adviced to remain silent on those matters, not to inspire others. ! Decades later Cruijff mentioned to a Dutch journalist : " When you lie on the ground with a gun on your head and out of the corner of your eye you see a child looking around the corner, everything else looses relevance/importance". Aside from that, Cruijff played with Ajax for the Club World Cup in Argentina before and foresaw that it would not be a fun trip. Especially not in the days of a ruthless Junta. the saying "Football is War' was definitely true in Argentine stadiums ! And maybe the common quarrels with NL FA, media pressure, and team might play a cumulative factor, but most decisive was the robbery. (But he had kept that quiet all the time).
