Steve B****** Hodge

[Rudy65]

wtf  - the second goal was world class  and England didn't have a kick until we were 2-0 down.  The Argies  were on  a different level to us.

Seem to recall the Argies as a team were no great shakes. Diego was the difference. We had a good side in 86

I was amazed with his claim that he was playing a backpass to Shilton.

I was amazed with his claim that he was playing a backpass to Shilton.

I seem to recall that the back pass didn't tend to turn out well for him at international or club level.

If he had meant a back pass then it would have given Diego a far more simple opportunity than that.

[Villa in Denmark]

I found myself shouting expletives at the screen when H***e appeared - anyone who doesn't know me would have wondered what was happening!. Not surprised by Shilton mentioning the value of the shirt though after his well documented money problems.

Even 30 years on - SH looked a bit isolated in the company of the other players that were at this reunion.

They're just jealous because he's got the Argentinian no. 10 shirt from the game.










Is what he tells himself.  The utter c***.

I remember Peter Shilton doing an interview with Hawksbee and Jacobs on Talksport some years ago when he went on to plug his autobiography.  The only trouble was he didn't seem to get the point of the interview and wouldn't talk about the book at all other than to tell people to buy it.  So H&J would say, "There's a great story in there about a hilarious incident in the England hotel in Mexico, tell us about that". And Shilts says, "Er, well, I don't want to give it away."  H&J: "Just give us a little flavour, it's the one about Bobby Robson forgetting the name of -"  Shilts: "No, stop, you'll spoil it, I don't want to tell all the stories in the book, I want people to buy it and read it!"  He was a humourless bastard and gave nothing away, absolutely nothing, it was simultaneously one of the shittest and funniest interviews I've ever heard.  He was definitely worried about losing out on a few quid...

Meaning Evil bringing up tenuous links to tonight’s game including “my massive mistake in joining Villa” from you know who.

Still gets me angry when I here his name mentioned. Especially thinking of him celebrating after scoring against us for Leeds.

I was thinking about Hodge when Hutton scored on Sunday. Gardner’s attempt to stop him was Hodge-esque in 1986 with Maradona. Hodge and Gardner in the same sentence. Who’d have thought it?

He got hold of Maradona’s shirt in the end though. So that’s nice of him thinking about doing that when we’re just got beat by the cheating so and so. Two lovely characters together.

[garyshawsknee]

Funny thing is, after the Maradona shirt story came out, it's not just Villa fans who think he's massive tool.

[PeterWithe]

I don’t think he was popular amongst Spurs fans as well as he said in an interview that he was lonely in London during his time there.

Maradona came to the England dressing room to swap shirts & was roundly told to f**k off.

Later on it turns out Hodge went it & swapped shirts with him, says everything really.....

[martin o`who??]

I don’t think he was popular amongst Spurs fans as well as he said in an interview that he was lonely in London during his time there.

Which provoked the Spurs fans into a very loud chorus of "One lonely bastard - theres only one lonely bastard" at their next home game which was faithfully reproduced on TV!!....

I remember Mo Farah doing exactly the same in a TV interview.  I've had an irrational hatred him ever since.  Mobot wanker...
