good morning -
It’s a pretty sad day at Hoddle Headquarters, as it marks the day where we no longer feature Micky van de Ven as our hoddle hero.
I had a good one lined up for today too.
At least he ended his hoddle hero tenure with a bang. Netherlands eased past Romania 3-0 in the first round of the knockout stage of the Euros. Van de Ven even came off the bench to mark the occassion.
(Radu Dragusin looked pretty good too, I heard).
I guess van de Ven had a decent run. Two weeks isn’t so bad. And it did end on a happy note: We signed Archie Gray.
So now it’s back to the drawing board. Who will be the next hoddle hero?
This time I will be keeping you all in suspense again. And, unlike last time, this hoddle hero will be fitzie’s choice!
I know how many of you all were looking forward to me previewing this month for Tottenham, but that can wait. For now, let us all eagerly await the arrival of our next hoddle hero.
