The RDBD (demoted to supporting the team Pep Guardiola manages)

BTW, Hoddle was 100% luxury.



Be serious.

Rockney.

Roberts was one of that breed, like Mackay, Mabbutt etc, would would rather die on the pitch than see their beloved Spurs falter. And chipped in with some belting goals too.

Oh, come on !!!
Hoddle had a work rate that made Ginola look like Parker.

Twas always the reason that the Don Howe ethic-driven Englands never played him that much in the early 80s.

Nobody has mentioned Tony Galvin , he was awesome until that Sourface ruined him in the 1983 league cup final

Hedly I think you have got the wrong end of the stick , I was replying to our friend from down the road



Sorry mate, I must have got the wrong end of the stick.

Anyway that early 80s team was a very fine team, and I had some great days out at Wembley watching them.

I loved Robbo. I remember I was mascot at Keith Burkinshaw's testimonial in '84. I was 10 years old at the time and Robbo gave me a b*llocking in the dressing room for not cleaning my footy boots properly!

Much schoolboy WUMmery was endured by the RDBD as our 1982 Quadruple died a lingering death (42 games per season then too) .

whilst we're reliving the 1981 glory years and as we've got Watford next in the FAC:

Hoddle can probably still do skills now that current players cannot which is why there was an element of jealousy in the England squad when he was manager.

That was a big mistake by England RDBD , they should of built the team around him

he was ahead of his time and England wnated Grafters not players like him, who could win a game on his own


I remember a game against Feyenoord in the UEfa cup, before the game Johan Cruyff said " whos Glen Hoodle" well he knew after the game , won 4.2 i think and hoodle scored 2 and made 2 if my memorys ios correct..

Squid .... 1982 final not 83

"That was a big mistake by England RDBD , they should of built the team around him"

Cloughie was a Hoddle fan (but not the work ethic) .
If he had got the job, I think they would have.

Mighty .....Don't need to play the vid , that goal is permanently etched into my grey matter

Hod idol ........They say that the one thing that was wrong with his managerial skills was that he was still better than the players he managed and would get peed off that they couldn't do the things that he still could

1982 yep sorry I was there as well

Squid - me too! Its for the benefit of the younger viewers!!

also on that clip is a belter from Stevie Archibald

We'll take more care of you Archibald, Archibald

squid, that liverpool finla will live with me forever, after the game i ended up in hospital for 6 weeks, Metal spike through backside into stomach.. touch and go

Chin ups on bus shelter at hammersmith muckign around and mate pulled a metal spike out of roadworks and held it underneath me , didnt know and jumped down .. Ouch bloody lost the final too

"Its for the benefit of the younger viewers!!"

Wonder if we can find some Garth Crooks Spurs bullet headers on youtube (did he get one in the FA semis against Wolves in 81 ?? ) .

Jesus ....Friends like that you don't need Enemies

just mates mucking around squid

I was at both semis in 81 and my memory of Crooks especially at Highbury was the incredible pace he showed

Me to, hated kenny Hibbitt at the time for cheating to get replay but it lead to us taking over highbury

Afte the finla replay against city, went to trafalga square and danced in the fountain all nigt with thousands of spurs

Loved the sunday to when we peraded the cup down the high rd, i was right outside the town hall .. great memorys
