Episode synopsis

In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to welcome a true legend of English football in Glenn Hoddle. We start by exploring Glenn’s unique style as a player ahead of his time and move on to his picks for the current England team. The panel dives into a debate on Thomas Tuchel managing England and Glenn’s time working with Arsène Wenger at Monaco. Glenn reflects on his flair for scoring from outside the box, his experience as a player-manager, and those who influenced his career. He also opens up about the challenges of taking on the England manager role and making tough decisions like narrowing down the 1998 World Cup squad and leaving out Paul Gascoigne. Plus, Glenn shares personal moments, including his first heart scare and his life-threatening heart attack at BT Studios. The episode wraps up with his thoughts on whether England will win a major tournament again and why Tottenham have struggled to secure more trophies.
