Football 'myths'

[atypical_boro]

Just listening to Glenn Hoddle's episode of 'Quickly Kevin, Will He Score?'

In it, and I appreciate its only his version of events, in contrast to Gazza's version AND other members of the England squad in May 1998, he says that Gazza simply punched the door on his way out, and knew himself he hadn't fully recovered from his injury.

Amazing isn't it, that that whole tale about lamp shades being smashed and doors being kicked down, having to be restrained and frog marched out of the building in floods of tears, may well have just been a huge apocryphal tale.

Did he mention that he put Kenny G on the stereo as he thought it would be soothing as he delivered the bad news?

Did they ask him if Reece James injuries were caused by being a bad person in a previous life?

I suppose he mainly has himself to blame.

“Since that day when I finalised the squad, it has been written that Kenny G was playing in my room when I told the players the bad news,” said Hoddle in the Daily Mail in 2010. “Where does this nonsense come from?” It actually came from Hoddle’s World Cup diary, a fascinating insight into a brilliant, flawed coach with an almost comical lack of self-awareness.
