Interesting, the comment about Tony Pulis being good to him (and Hendrie did well during his loan spell at Stoke) but Bryan Robson and Sheffield United came in and offered him more money. Had he stayed at Stoke he'd be more than likely in the Premier League with them now, and they'd be able to pay more than what Sheff Utd offered. The last big mistake in a career blighted by them.
And the comment on playing for England under Hoddle reads wrong - either Hendrie or the journalist have poor memories. He was called-up for the Czech Republic friendly in Nov 1998 for his debut - he was never in contention for the World Cup the previous summer (he only made his breakthrough during the last few months of 97/98 when Gregory came in). Keegan took over a few weeks after his Fulham side had dumped us out of the FA Cup at Villa Park when Hendrie and Villa were abject and which was the start of our awful slide down the table.
