You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow, you have to reap.
Glenn HoddleIf people feel 4-4-2 is the way forward in international football, they'll have to wait until I'm out of a job.
Glenn HoddleThere's not much who would have hit him [Fabio Capello] in the eye and made him put his hat on.
Glenn HoddleYou can never compare two players that are different, they're never going to be the same.
Glenn HoddleOnly 38 per cent of players in the Premier League are English; that is a damning statistic. Soon, the England manager will have to go scouting for players in the Championship - and when I say 'soon' I mean the next four or five years, perhaps even for the next World Cup.
Glenn HoddleMy saddest decision in football was leaving Paul Gascoigne out of the 1998 World Cup finals. But he wasn't fit enough and once that decision is made, as a manager and a group of players, you forget about who isn't there and focus on the job.
Glenn HoddleNo manager in the world gets good results all the time and you know there's people always ready to have a snipe. In fact I'm my own biggest critic, I really am. Because my own standards are so high, I criticise myself behind the scenes more than perhaps I should, according to people who know me well.

Glenn HoddlePaul Scholes was the jewel in the crown, the first name on the teamsheet and unquestionably one of the finest England players of the age. He flourished at once in the international arena, which didn't surprise me given his fabulous all-round attributes. He had almost everything - talent, intelligence, courage. His only blemish, which he never really shook off, was his tackling. There was always the chance of that red mist coming down. Overall, though, Paul was a wonderful player and he's a lovely lad, a credit to his club and to himself.
Glenn HoddleHe was a player that hasn't had to use his legs even when he was nineteen years of age because his first two yards were in his head.
Glenn HoddleTim Sherwood has come in, done very well and given us another string to the bow in a different type of way.
Glenn HoddleI run an academy in Spain for young footballers who are released by their clubs and who, in my opinion, deserve a second chance. It is a rewarding job for me, but one that also reveals many of the faults in the English game.
