I saw Ray Parlour in a pub in Essex yesterday - I told him I’d read his book and liked it, and we chatted for a minute. He was a super nice guy. I’m a West Ham fan and asked him how come he never played for them despite him being raised nearby, and he said “I wanted to win medals mate!” I replied “I can’t really argue with that”
For someone who is fond of AFC, this chap is a legend. Such an entertaining player to watch and a real grafter when it was needed. Whatever the truth of the Hoddle story, it is daft that he left Parlour out of France 98. I am not massively impressed by people who feel the need to be public about their faith, but (if it happened) for a senior manager in a sporting body to use a perceived belittling of his own slightly wack-doodle left-field interpretation of Christianity is appalling. Puerile, petty, insulting, offensive and unprofessional.
How he never went to the 98 World Cup I'll never know until that season I thought he was crap. Wenger helped turned his game around was one of the best players in the Arsenal team that season.
Happy go lucky Parlour! Rinsed in the divorce courts and let down by Hoddle but never looks back in anger. Would love to go for an all dayer with him and big Al 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Should've played for England more. He was better than Anderton. Anderton only got in the England squad because he played for Tottenham and venables and hoddle love Tottenham.
More stories I here about glen hoddle the more I feel sad always thought he was a nice guy but seems he struggled with man management.. as for parlour another great player. Overlooked

Hes class
What with Middlesbrough 😂
Love Ray Parlour. Tenacious player and always gave 100%. Arsenal Legend
Agreed. I remember he was the only player whose tackles were so crunch and loud, you could actually hear them on the television. Absolute beast.
"Well, let him finish his pint!"
Love ray parlour top bloke.
Great player too.
From a villa fan.
Good old ray he was a superb player for arsenal !
You know what it’s like, you listen to a few Ray Parlour stories and you get a flavour for it.
Great comment 😂😂😂
Such a nice guy and loves the Arsenal
Love Ray. Brilliant stories. Excellent.
Ray parlour was a legend, still is
Absolutely
The Romford Pele
Ray needs his own podcast
The Romford Pele. Great raconteur!
You could easily assume Ray is an idiot for the way he talks, but he's a brilliant story teller, witty and a genius communicator
When Arsenal had real men playing for the badge.
Not an arsenal fan, but rays mum and dad, lived down. My road, he is a very nice bloke, and meet him many times, at rush Green social club.
Glad to see he doesn't hold a grudge against Hoddle - most would, quite understandably too
Or his ex wife😂
brilliant!
5 pints and on the bench at Anfield. Great storytelling.😉
Most players you do a youtube search and you get highlight videos. Ray Parlour you do a search and you get a bunch of drinking stories. LOL
Love you Ray
Hahaha class ray arsenal legend and just a legend in general!
The football got in the way of the socialising. Won the double.😉 class.
Love Ray #arsenalforever

2000 and defo 2002 he ruined man utd at old trafford
Top player. he didn't go to France because of Beckham, Anderton and G Neville.
He was good that season.
What does Neville do with it, he won the pl, so how was he not selected @@leebush4053
Hoddle didn’t take kindly to “short back and sides” comment to Eileen.
Brilliant raconteur
Forest the original invincibles
legend
/#%#===

He tells a good story does Ray
Top man
Paul Scholes in a washing machine 😂 thats the story the people want.

Brilliant! 😂
before Fergie arrived the Man United team bus had optics.
People forget.... He was Player of the season. The year they won the double.... Hoddle didnt fancy him and the faith healer done him no favours...
pay your fine in cash, george graham always on the graft
No way he had 5 pints poetic licence
He should have gone to France 98 over Batty!
I think you're a bit batty
Joey Bill don’t talk like a mug
He was better than Batty and Anderton and he could take a penalty.
Joey Bill mug
@@ER-gw2xz MUG 😂😂😂
