Is winning stuff the measure of how good a player is though? What did Hoddle win? Couple of FA Cups and the French league? Not at all but the fact one of the major clubs didn't sign him is. Again, same with Hoddle isn’t it?

On form, he was a Rolls Royce of a player. A brilliant passer of the long ball too.

They weren’t an AC Milan or a Real Madrid or even a Marseilles. . A better side at the time. Hoddle picked up a bad injury when Monaco top of their game. Certainly one of the best teams in Europe. Hateley and Weah up top were excellent. Don't remember Gasgoigne making any impact at that level. He did play for Rangers though.

Lazio had a very good side when Gascoigne was there, they underachieved but had some tremendous players.
