Here's "The Lion of Vienna" as a preview. Annie's dad will enjoy that one.

Le Tiss - Technically a genius, couldn't tackle, couldn't head, lazy as they come, speed of a tortoise. Probably not.

Gazza - Of course. Genius wise, he'll probably make the top 3, career wise, he'd probably feature lower down. He hindered his career big time in the 91 FA Cup final, he never came back the same player, he lost that yard of pace.

Same thing happened with Michael Owen. From the age of 17 - 22 he was the best player in the World for me. Then when he got a bad injury and lost his biggest weapon, his pace, he was finished.

Waddle - I've played against him, legend.

Grealish - Too early for him.

.... and Glen Hoddle ??

Best passer of a ball I’ve ever seen and he was 100% two footed

Again, probably amongst the elite of England players going by the standard of technically gifted, he probably didn't achieve the success in his career that someone of his talent should have, maybe attitude was his downfall?

Bryan Robson didn't have the technical ability of Hoddle, but Robson was head and shoulders above Hoddle as a player.

Different players different skill sets

I’d play both together but I’d only pay to see Hoddle

I'm opposite to that. I'd rather pay to see Robson.

He'd make far more bone crunching tackles, he'd score far more goals, he'd put his heart and soul into everything and give you 100 percent and he'd run his blood to water and cover every blade of grass on the pitch.
