Former England manager Glenn Hoddle joins Jeff Stelling to choose his greatest midfielders on the latest episode of the pod.

Which current Premier League star does he thinks still isn’t trusted by England management? Why does every team need a Declan Rice? And what was his reaction to the David Beckham documentary?

Glenn also explains why he dropped Gazza from the 1998 World Cup squad, reveals the real reason why Matt Le Tissier received fewer chances with England, recalls when a football legend tried to unsuccessfully man mark him and discusses why he thinks he was sometimes the recipient of criticism from the press.

Football's Greatest is a Folding Pocket production with BBC Studios.
