A fabulous player in his day and an icon for many

Another big part of my youth and hope he pulls through

His comments regarding people being disabled because of something bad they did in a previous life are not on him 

It's once again down to religion and whoever put that shite in his head when he was becoming a born again Christian

Yep, nice pic. He got hammered for getting conned into some sort of Christian/Buddhist bullshit and expressing it with the eloquence of someone who was very good at kicking a ball.

:um-no:

Bible-believing Christians don't believe in having a 'previous life'.

Mormons, however, actually believe that black people are black because they didn't fight well enough against Lucifer when he and a third of the angels rebelled in heaven against God.

Through Eileen Drewery he progressed from "mainstream" Christianity to "radical" evangelism

Ergo - he was on the way to being a born again Christian and got sidetracked

Definitely 'sidetracked'.

If only in 1981 he had met someone like Ricky Gervais rather than Cliff Richard then England might have won the Euros or World Cup ...

Yeah.....

Could we just leave religion, etc, out of this thread, please? Yes, he made comments in the past, but he who is without sin... and all that jazz.

Anyway.

Absolutely unbelievable player and he did really well with England as manager. Hopefully he makes a 100% recovery.

We might never have heard "Diamond Lights" though.

Get well soon Glenn, what a player he was...

Some terrific strikes there I haven't seen in years. But my favourite, I think, is the turn and deft chip against Watford. Thing of pure beauty.

Aye great goal that. He had a tremendous shot with both feet, but I think my favourite is actually the run from his own half on 4 minutes.

Yes and Yes. And then 1.07: keeper, header, header, volley, ball touches the earth at the back of the net, Shilton wonders who to blame. Duncan II's use of 'beauty' is bang on - Hoddle brought it to the game again and again.

Quite nostalgic watching that as a football daft kid growing up in the early 80s. The two that stick in my mind are the chip against Watford and the volley after a one two with Ardilles. Like him or not he was an outstanding player.

Also,  I much  preferred the time when football managers dressed in suits that made them look like extras in The Sweeney 👍
