Glenn Hoddle was born on October 27, 1957, in Hayes, Middlesex, England. He began his football career at Tottenham Hotspur, joining as a junior at age 12 and signing as an apprentice in 1974. He made his first-team debut for Tottenham as a 17-year-old substitute in August 1975. Hoddle became a professional in 1975 and scored in his first League start in February 1976. During his 12 years with Tottenham Hotspur (1975-1987), he made 490 appearances and scored 110 goals, placing him fifth on the club’s all-time appearance list and as one of only 18 players to score over 100 goals. He was a key player in the team that won the FA Cup in 1981 and 1982, and the UEFA Cup in 1984.
Upon leaving Tottenham in 1987, Hoddle joined AS Monaco, where he won the French Ligue 1 title in 1988. After his playing career, he transitioned into management.
