GLENN Hoddle believes that signing to QPR will result in his getting a regular midfield run-out.

Still looks like a relatively healthy TV cop

56-year-old Hoddle believes that logic-based prejudice against his unusual belief that he can still play at the top professional level has prevented him from getting his chance.

He said: Since I left Chelsea 20 years ago, I feel Ive not been allowed to fulfil my potential on the field that was so obvious back in 1975.

I thought Id get my chance when I was managing England in the 1998 World Cup. I was going to pick myself for the quarter final but that idiot Beckham loused things up.

I coach kids now, and I tell them, ‘Youre rubbish! Give up! None of you are any good. Not like me. I should be playing out there, not you.’ And sure enough, none of them goes on to succeed, which shows Im right.

Im like my haircut. It was good enough back in the 1970s and its good enough now.

I mean, its QPR, for Christs sake. If theyre letting Rio Ferdinand play, I should be first name on the team sheet.

Hoddle is also optimistic of reviewing his pop partnership with Chris Waddle: I reckon wed fill out the O2 Arena if we reformed. We had class, we could carry a tune.
