Glenn Hoddle can still sing

[sausage]

I debated whether this should be a Spurs chat or general Chat, but it's more spurs.

Glenn was on the UK's "Masked Singer" yesterday (just watching it now). I thought it might be him because the clues were basically hinting he saw the hand of god in person, and had a connection to Swindon Town, but I thought he might be too ill. Great to see him looking well.

Appropriate song for his knockout choice:

I still have an original Diamond Lights on vinyl.

This was his 'unmasking' by the way. As I say, looking well. Best I've seen him look for decades probably, in terms of style.

I think I’m one of the few people on the planet to unironically like “Diamond Lights.”

The less said about the video or Top of the Pops performance, however...

That really made me smile, his voice was like hot buttered toast. Really comforting. Good to see him so well, but for quick and decisive medical intervention he wouldn't be with us at all so he is seizing every opportunity that comes his way and good luck to him.

Looks like he’s having loads of fun. Shame he’s not still involved in football behind punditry but I’m pleased that after what can’t have been an easy management career (though far more successful generally than he gets credit for) with the sacking from England and not succeeding with us, and obviously his heart attack a couple of years ago, he seems to be enjoying life.

At least he’s healthy and comfortable enough to make a clock of himself. Diamond Midnights and all that. Fair play.

 

[spurs mental]

Disappointed he didn't chant "TOTTENHAM" mid song.

Yeah, it felt a bit melancholic for him to be saying he wanted an excuse to do some singing because he enjoyed it. Live's too short.

I think he has a decent singing voice, so you'd think he'd have nothing to lose by recording an album, even if it was off his own back.

Could say that for a lot of them. You can't often hear the difference between actual singers and actors/footballers/celebs etc when they're somewhat anonymous.

My missus shit me up this morning. First thing she said was "do you know who Glen Hoddle is...?" (she isn't a football person...). My heart dropped for a second fearing the worst, only for her to tell me he was on this program. ?

I was chuffed I got it right. The first week he was on I thought it was Terry Venables but it soon became clear it was Glenn. Looks like he enjoyed it.

Watching ITV could be fatal for many in lockdown, particularly if their mental health is a little fragile..

Occasionally I will switch on the TV and find it was on ITVBE or C5. I shudder to think what the wife is watching,
