Glenn Hoddle - Wasted

I was going to write a long-winded treatise on why it never really worked out for Glenn Hoddle at England level, despite nearly always being the best player on the pitch. Far less taxing to simply sum it up with three phrases: Route One, the class system (don't laugh, it suffuses everything) and a little bit of fear and loathing -... A shame, but he was thrilling to watch and, when given his wind, a world-beater.
