If you read MLT's book, its quite clear that Hoddle has a real problem with Matt's actual ability, and as soon as he actually saw it, he was, well seemingly jealous. It can be the only way to put it. Apparently they have reconcilled now, but it amazed me that the same man who appeared at the end of the 'Unbelievable' video was indeed the same man that took him Matt off against Italy, when he had been our only hope of scoring, and then shunned him in 98 after Loftus Road. The icing on the cake for Hoddle was to come to The Dell and try and do the same there. Though Matt has a lot to be accountable in respect of his final years, the Hoddle years certainly took something away at the end, and pretty much killed off the legend.
