Sent from Hod - Spurs 1982 shirt signed by Glenn Hoddle
Universally acknowledged as the most elegant and talented player of his generation, Glenn Hoddle spent 12 years as a player at White Hart Lane and earned himself a place in Spurs' folklore with his dazzling range of passing and exquisite close control.
Hoddle joined Tottenham as a 17-year-old apprentice in 1974 after being recommended by Spurs great Martin Chivers and a little over a year later he made his first team debut as a substitute in the league clash with Norwich.
His first start for the club came early in 1976 against Stoke City and the young midfielder announced his arrival in typically flamboyant style as he beat England goalkeeper Peter Shilton with a sensational long-range drive.
Hoddle quickly established himself as a first team regular under Keith Burkinshaw's tenure as manager and the White Hart Lane faithful took the cultured playmaker to their hearts. His call-up to England colours in 1979 was little surprise and he went on to win 53 caps for his country.
It was, however, in the 1980s that Hoddle was to enjoy the most successful period of his club career as Spurs won back-to-back FA Cup finals in 1981 and 1982 and he was the man who pulled the strings two years later as Tottenham marched into the Uefa Cup final against Anderlecht. Injury denied him his place in the final itself but his contribution en route to the dramatic penalty shootout victory was unquestionable.
The love affair with the club as a player came to an end in 1987 when he signed for French side Monaco. His return to White Hart Lane in 2001 as manager was to ultimately prove ill-fated but his prominent place in Tottenham's history was already assured.
