Notice the goal he scores at St James Park against his former club, none of this I don't wanna celebrate against my old team shite... just pure joy of scoring for a goal for spurs.
Marseille waddle
One of favourite ever spurs players and terrific on the radio
62 today.
These threads on past players should carry the letters NPA (not passed away) or SWU (still with us) after their name. I saw "Chris Waddle" on the thread menu and feared the worst
...aaah, the famous headline:
WADDLE 2 VILLA 0
I was (BLATANTLY) lucky enough to be on The shelf that night and got a cracking view of that goal... wonderful stuff!
The most passionate & sensitive lover I've ever had.
He was one of those players who made you wonder what he was going to do next. If my memory isn't playing tricks with me, his best season for us was his last, and we sold him just after we bought Linekar. Think the quote I remember was, we bought a snooker cue and then sold the snooker table!
Tribute to how great player he was is that he is adored by 3 great clubs. Spurs, OM and Wednesday.
Love to see Wednesday back in the prem.

England don't like building teams around creative players.
In Le Tissier's case, Hoddle also rejected him because of jealousy - Le Tiss was being compared with Hoddle, and the Hoddle didn't like it, so he never picked him.
All very ironic considering Hoddle feels aggrieved about not getting enough caps himself!
Anyhow, I've totally derailed this thread!
Waddle had something Hoddle didn't have in my opinion - he was/is a very mentally tough person. He was hardened up at Newcastle and I never saw Waddle pull out of a challenge at the Lane, which looked all the more impressive considering how svelte-like he was in those days.
Ahhh, you shoulda popped over and said 'Hi'... I was only a teenager at the time, I wouldn't have known what to do with myself!!
That season before he went to Marseille he was amazing. Gazza was my hero at that time but Waddle wasn’t far off his level and on his day that season, he was better than him many a time.
Waddle, Gazza & Lineker in the same side would of been a sight to behold.
Real pity we sold Waddle a fantastic player.
I think he's my favorite Spurs player full stop. He was just special.
Brian can you imagine the effect the addition of those two to our current squad would have.
On the current squad? We’d win the league.
My fav has to be on the muddy pitch, compensated so well after the ball just got held up.
