Copycat

There is an article on the BBC sport page today that mentions Glenn Hoddle calliing Michael Owen "The Baby-Faced Assassin" in 1998. I thought that term had already been coined to refer to Ole GS in 1996.

He also said Owen wasn't a natural finisher if I remember right.

And he said Beckham couldn't take a free kick 😅
We won't mention his thoughts on disabled people 😣
