I never said this at all. I acknowledged that he is one of our greatest players, but not in the Kane, Greaves category.Saying Hoddle is not one of the greatest players to have ever played for Spurs and is a 'second tier' player is a fucking stupid opinion.
I can think of other 'one word' responses to you.
If he's not in that 'top' category, then by definition he's second tier (I also apologised for using that term as it appears derogatory. It wasn't meant to - however I couldn't find an alternative word.)
Funny things these words. They can be twisted to mean virtually anything.
