How did two Argentine World Cup winners, a pair of Wembley classics and one unforgettable European night turn Tottenham Hotspur into one of English football's defining teams of the early 1980s?Season 5 of By Far The Greatest Team continues with the story of Tottenham Hotspur between 1978 and 1984 — six years in which Spurs embraced international talent, rediscovered their taste for trophies and became pioneers both on and off the pitch.Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn are joined by regular guest Stu Burgess to revisit the eventful reign of Keith Burkinshaw.Freshly promoted in 1978, Tottenham made an extraordinary statement by signing Argentina's World Cup winners Osvaldo Ardiles and Ricky Villa. At a time when overseas footballers remained a rarity in England, their arrival brought ticker tape, global attention and a completely different footballing culture to White Hart Lane.The transition was not always easy, but Burkinshaw gradually assembled a wonderfully entertaining side. Glenn Hoddle supplied imagination and technical brilliance, Steve Perryman provided leadership, while Steve Archibald and Garth Crooks formed one of the most effective attacking partnerships in English football.Then came Wembley.Spurs defeated Manchester City after a replay to win the 1981 FA Cup, with Steve MacKenzie's spectacular volley almost overshadowed by Ricky Villa's extraordinary solo winner — one of the most celebrated goals in the competition's history.Twelve months later, Tottenham returned to Wembley and defeated Queens Park Rangers, again after a replay, to retain the trophy. The football, the iconic kits and the unmistakable sound of Chas & Dave made Spurs one of the defining teams of the era.The story also contains a much darker warning. Tottenham's 1981 semi-final against Wolves witnessed a serious crowd crush at Hillsborough, exposing safety failings that English football tragically failed to address properly.By 1983, Tottenham were changing away from the pitch as well. Under Irving Scholar, Spurs became the first European sports club floated on a stock exchange, embraced shirt sponsorship and participated in the first live Football League match shown on British television for 23 years.Football was becoming a television product and a global business — and Tottenham were standing near the front of that transformation.The era concluded with the 1984 UEFA Cup.Following a dramatic run through Europe, Spurs faced Anderlecht in a two-legged final. Graham Roberts forced the decisive equaliser at White Hart Lane before goalkeeper Tony Parks became the hero of the penalty shootout.It was Tottenham's third major trophy under Burkinshaw — and his final match as manager.Along the way, Jamie, Graham and Stu explore the near-miss involving Diego Maradona, Hoddle's emergency appearances in goal, the evolution of Tottenham's famous Le Coq Sportif and Umbro kits, the later controversy surrounding Anderlecht and Burkinshaw's memorable farewell:“There used to be a football club over there.”Finally, this talented, innovative and occasionally chaotic Tottenham side faces the question asked of every team on By Far The Greatest Team:How great were they?

Which Spurs sale hurt you the most? The Originals go on record — Berbatov, Waddle, Bale, Modric, Kane, Hoddle, Robbie Keane — every panellist names one they never got over. And it's the block that closes the episode on the warmest note. Before that: a considered tribute to Kevin Keegan, the first proper preview of De Zerbi's Spurs against MK Dons, and the Tynan Thompson departure that reopens the "no pathway for youth" debate. Chris Wood's Semenyo callback from the members' group lands mid-argument. The middle stretch is the substance: the Cristian Romero decision (DJ makes the "hit the reset button" case; Si argues sell-at-peak; Stu names the reputation problem in the Premier League); a panel love-in on Djed Spence that goes places most Spurs pods don't; and the two panel-on-record moments — trophy or top four (Sean Hurl's dilemma) plus a points prediction each. Warm, considered, nuanced. The Originals. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A tragedy that rocked Melbourne in the late 80s, and one that left the nation questioning its own attitude towards guns and violence. Former Commissioner of Victoria Police Kel Glare was just a few months away from getting the top job when an armed gunman killed seven and injured 19 people in Melbourne's inner North. It's a case that stood out to Kel for its violence and senselessness, and one that shook him him despite him being as experienced as he was. Hear about that case, and others as Kel sat down with host Brent Sanders in this episode of Crime Insiders | Rewind This content contains references to mens violence against women and child sexual abuse.

This month, we revisit the epic last 16 match between England and Argentina from France 98. It was a match layered with history – the ‘Animals' game from 1966, the Hand of God in 1986, not to mention the Falklands War. England, managed by Glenn Hoddle (a veteran of 1986) had already had a campaign full of talking points – Eileen Drewery the faith healer, the axing of Gazza from the final squad, the omission of David Beckham from the Tunisia match, and the belated use of Michael Owen. Led by Hoddle and his boundless self-confidence, the Three Lions faced an Argentina side, managed by Daniel Passarella (the winning captain from 1978). Argentina, with a 100% record and a defence that hadn't conceded a goal yet in the World Cup, were packed with superstars – Batistuta, Veron, Ortega, Zanetti et al. On paper, it was a promising game and it turned out to be an electrifying classic, great goals, great drama, heroic individual performances, an infamous red card followed by an infamous fallout, and, as always with England, a penalty shootout.National anthems by https://nationalanthems.info/ TWITTER/X@MatthewOkot@WorldCupRamble Subscribe to World Cup Rambling on your podcast platform.
In this episode of Talk2TheHand, we take a deep dive into Glenn Hoddle's controversial tenure as England manager—a period marked by tactical innovation, high expectations, and dramatic downfall. Appointed in 1996 after Terry Venables, Hoddle was seen as the man to take England to the next level. But while his reign showed flashes of brilliance, it was ultimately overshadowed by off-field controversies and strained relationships within the squad. Under Hoddle's leadership, England produced some memorable performances, including a dominant display against the Netherlands at Euro '96 qualifiers and an impressive World Cup run in 1998. But Hoddle's reign wasn't just about tactics. We explore the off-pitch issues that defined his tenure—most notably his decision to involve faith healer Eileen Drewery, which baffled players and the media alike. We discuss the tension this created within the squad, the rift with key players like David Beckham, and how his management style—often described as distant and inflexible—alienated parts of the dressing room despite his footballing acumen. The 1998 World Cup in France is central to Hoddle's story. We talk about the infamous World Cup diary and his relationships with key players. We reflect on the controversy that ultimately led to his dismissal: his comments on disability and reincarnation during a newspaper interview. We discuss the fallout, the FA's decision to sack him, and how his managerial legacy remains one of "what ifs." Was Hoddle ahead of his time, or was he his own worst enemy? Tune in as we unpack one of the most fascinating chapters in England's football history. Talk2TheHand is an independent throwback podcast run by husband and wife, Jimmy and Beth. Obsessed with 90s nostalgia and 90s celebrities, we'll rewind the years and take you back to the greatest era of our lives. New episodes bursting with nostalgia of the 90s released on Tuesdays.

Host Marcus Buckland is joined by Dan Kilpatrick to consider where we go from here after the latest nadir at home to Leicester on Sunday. Dan concedes that Ange is not the manager for a relegation scrap but draws the lines at Marcus' timewarped suggestions of bringing in Hoddle, Hiddink or Van Gaal as a caretaker. Plus, why haven't the club done any business yet and what's up with Madders?
In the early 1980s Allan Cockram made two appearances for Tottenham Hotspur in a midfield featuring Hoddle, Ardiles and Perryman but it's not his football achievements, notable as they are, that make Allan a special man, it is his work after his playing career.Running the Brentford Penguins, the club's Down's Syndrome team, has brought him deserved acclaim, and a Grierson Award for the documentary Mighty Penguins, but he doesn't stop there a women's over 40s walking football team and a men's over 55s walking team, are just a couple of examples of how he brings joy and love and uses football as a vehicle for something so much more meaningful.

On this edition of the show I am joined by David Pleat to look back at his 6 decade life in Football as chronicled in his new book "Just One More Goal". We look at how his playing career began including a memorable England schoolboys debut and on through a playing career which was cut short due to injury before he took on his first managerial role at Nuneaton, following on from that we journey with David through times with Luton Town, Sheff Wed's Leicester and a lengthy association with Tottenham Hotspur. Think back as well to the players David has worked with over the years from Hoddle to Di Canio, and finding raw talent and nuturing including the moment he saw a 16 year old Dele Ali .
As a writer for The Times, Matt Dickinson has been an original and trusted voice on the key sporting events and characters of the last 25 years. He came to prominence as the reporter behind the interview with then England manager Glenn Hoddle in which Hoddle's remarks on reincarnation ultimately led to his sacking. Matt recalls how being involved in such a high-profile story affected him, what it's like to watch sport for a living and picks out the most compelling sporting figure he ever came across. He remembers the drama in the Nou Camp in 1999 when he had to rewrite his story in a matter of minutes and explains how he's come to realise that his obsession with sport is actually less about the action on the pitch and more about a fascination with what makes extraordinary people tick. Which might explain why he's now moving into psychotherapy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this witty and informative episode of Join The Docs, Professor Jonathan Sackier and Doctor Nigel Guest delve into the world of Achilles tendonitis. They kick off the show by tracing the condition back to its mythological roots: when Achilles was dipped in the River Styx, if his mum had done a better job, The Docs might be out of a job! “I didn't think I was going to play ever again.” The Docs welcome a true sporting legend, Glenn Hoddle, sharing his personal battle with tendonitis. Hoddle, known for his magical touch on the football pitch, discusses how tendonitis affected his career. With his trademark wit, he recounted the days when his tendons were more bothersome than a referee on match day. A Tottenham Hotspur legend, Glenn also played for other clubs including Monaco, then went into management at Swindon, Southampton, Wolves, his beloved Spurs and, some “other” London club and also managed the England national team. Now a TV football pundit, Glenn is delighted to join The Docs to tell his story and help others.The Docs then dissect the tendon itself, a topic that leads Jonathan to challenge Nigel's perspectives on human anatomy. Talk of diagnosis waxes and wanes from fact to a comedy routine with the duo describing various tests and treatment, with the role of cold vodka carefully considered. They segue into treatments, covering how RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) has changed to PEACE & LOVE…..And if that makes no sense, listen to Join the Docs!"But wait, there's more! If you call within the next ten minutes, we'll throw in a free set of crutches!" Surgical options discussion turns into a mock infomercial, with Dr. Guest pretending to sell the idea of surgery as if it were a set of steak knives. Do you really have to warm-up before every bit of exercise? Professor Sackier shares a personal anecdote about the time he mistook a dance-off as a suitable warm-up and ended up doing the "robot" for a week straight due to stiffness. Doctor Guest chimes in with his own tale of using interpretive dance to explain tendonitis to a confused group of medical students. The conversation takes a turn to the role of general health in preventing tendonitis, with Dr. Guest suggesting that eating carrots might not help your tendons, but at least you'll see them better.How did that happen? Sharing personal experiences turns into a comedy of errors as they recount their most memorable tendonitis cases, including the time Dr. Guest diagnosed a case of "guitar hero wrist" and Prof. Sackier treated a "selfie elbow."Ring, ring! The evolution of sports medicine is likened to the evolution of the mobile phone, with The Docs joking that tendon treatments used to be as big and clunky as a 1980s cell phone. The Docs wrap up the episode with tongue-in-cheek advice on tendon care, including a suggestion to avoid activities that involve chasing mythological creatures. —--DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on Join the Docs are those of Dr. Nigel Guest, Jonathan Sackier and other people on our show.

Matt Le Tissier may not have been a great goalscorer like Alan Shearer or Harry Kane but he was a scorer of great goals. In our latest REPLAY with Jeff Stelling, Le Tiss talks through some of those that have gone down in Premier League folklore and why he was able to often produce brilliant moments. Which was the best goal from his canon? Which goals were a turning point in his football career? What's his favourite of his strikes? He also chats about chipping Peter Schmeichel, why he was never afraid to look stupid when playing football and how he compared to another dead ball specialist: David Beckham. That leads to him recalling the day he took part in a free-kick competition in England training with Becks and then manager Glenn Hoddle. But who came out on top?

This week Jeff is in the presence of the man known as ‘Le God' - Matthew Le Tissier - as they discuss the best set pieces takers ever on Football's Greatest. Who won a free-kick competition between Le Tiss, Glenn Hoddle and David Beckham? Which current Premier League star does he claim bends it better than Becks? And who else has impressed him: De Bruyne or Bruno Fernandes? Trent Alexander-Arnold or Cristiano Ronaldo? Matt reveals his favourite free-kick, which moment from an England match is his greatest regret, why he was so good at penalties and why he's surprised Gareth Southgate never took up his offer to help the England squad improve their spot-kicks. He also answers why he continues to court controversy with his views on social media and how he felt to miss the 1998 World Cup after being left out by Hoddle.

Ray played 15 years for Arsenal. And he was there for the arrival of the great Arsene Wegner – and he would go on to bring some of the greatest players to ever grace the Premier League - Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera to name a few. In the 97-98 campaign, Ray was playing exceptionally well – maybe the best year of his career – and it was only natural that the national team – coached by that Tottenham legend – Glenn Hoddle - would give him a look. Coach Arsene himself lobbied the coach that there is no better winger in all of England. Glenn Hoddle was a believe in: ‘faith healing' – and the team had an appointed faith healer – a woman named Eileen Drewery. As Ray was on trial with the Three Lions, he had pulled his calf. And coach Hoddle sent him to see Miss Eileen for 'treatment'. Eileen sat him in the chair, walked round to his back and began rubbing Ray's scalp. Ray being Ray goes, 'Allright Love, take a little off the the sides and the back, but leave the length on the top' (this is a slight paraphrase, but you get the gyst) Unbeknownst to him, Ray had deeply offended Mr Hoddle with this, and would miss out on playing in the 98 World Cup as a result. But his smile was big as he recalled this story – as was mine – and it was a real joy to hear him tell me so many others – I hope you enjoy them as well - here on the soccerPod #14.

On a Sunday night in August 1987, 18-year-old Julian Knight unleashed terror on the streets of Melbourne. It was just after 9:30pm when the recently discharged army cadet opened fire on innocent civilians, murdering seven people and seriously injuring 19 more. After the incident, a group of psychologists were tasked with analysing Knight to try to understand the motivations of such a callous, unprovoked attack. Our guest today was part of that team.

When Glenn Hoddle arrived at Chelsea in 1993, he thought he was becoming the manager of a Premier League club. He soon found out the Blues were in name only. Hoddle had stepped into a club that was years behind its rivals and needed to dramatically improve standards. From player recruitment to the playing style and basics such as nutrition and how the team trained. It was a new dawn at Chelsea and Hoddle had it all to do. This is the story of how Hoddle did it. In this episode you will hear from: Glenn Hoddle, Ken Bates, Steve Clarke, David Lee, Eddie Newton, Michael Duberry, Colin Hutchinson, Luke Harding, Joel Harding, Clive Batty (Journalist), Rick Glanvill (Chelsea historian) The Blueprint is written by Garry Hayes and narrated by Ceri Levy. *** You can support this podcast on Apple Podcasts by subscribing to Blueprint+ for ad-free streaming and bonus episodes.

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd (from his hospital bed!), Clayton Beerman and Dayne Whittle to review the last match of the season against Newcastle.And breathe. Yes, Chelsea's worst season for nearly 30 years is finally consigned to the dustbin where it belongs. We look back at the last match against Newcastle, where Chelsea did ok against a Newcastle side clearly sipping cocktails on the beach. The usual profligacy in front of goal by Chelsea; why break the cycle eh lads? Of more interest was who might be playing their last game? Azpi with a superb banner to honour him? Loftus-Cheek who gave the "I'm off" clap to all four stands in the ground? Mason Mount who looked tearful in the lap of appreciation.We know Frank is off and he got a well deserved warm send off. But it's now "Hello, hello, Pochettino; Pochettino!" as our new manager has been announced. Interestingly one of his first decisions may have been to refuse to put an offer in on Felix who is set to return to Atletico Madrid. We wrap up part one with a chat about a fantastic evening at the 1983/84 re-union at Under the Bridge on Saturday night.In part two we welcome back Garry Hayes and Ceri Levy from The Chels to talk about the next installment of their superb documentary podcast series on Chelsea from the Hoddle era to Munich, called The Blueprint. The next episodes are available from May 31st from wherever you get your podcasts. Make sure you check them out. The Blueprint Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Travis Flock is joined by The Score to breakdown the draw against Everton at the Bridge, and use the match as a springboard for a wider discussion about the club, manager, and fanbase. They both focus on the positives and the disappointing nature of the draw, and highlight the negatives from some players in the match. The match is used to exemplify and harp upon the expectations within the fanbase, how those expectations fuel negativity towards Potter, what Potter can do to win fans over, if anything. The history of the club is also evoked to draw parallels between Potter and Hoddle's time as CFC manager, and ultimately ends in a discussion for where the club are where they are going.
Ceri and Garry are joined by Daniel Childs to discuss the difficult past week and look ahead to the crunch game against Leeds. chelseapodcast.net @chelseapodcast Produced by Paul Myers and Mike Leigh Engineered by Leon Gorman A Playback Media Production playbackmedia.co.uk Copyright 2023 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.
