Despite the public flogging he got for his disability comments and his promotion of Eileen drewery, hoddle was a good coach and his teams played some attractive attacking football (obvious spurs bias, he was one of my favourite players growing up) and his inability to be the lynchpin of the England team for the entirety of his career still points to English footballs distrust of players with great technical ability who don't "work" hard enough..
