Glenn Hoddle gives Ally McCoist a fright in hilarious moment on Alan Brazil’s birthday show

Glenn Hoddle chose the worst possible time to drop off the line when speaking to talkSPORT’s Sports Breakfast show.

In a hilarious moment, the 61-year-old went silent when asked about his health, much to the horror of co-host Ally McCoist.

Hoddle has made a full recovery since suffering a cardiac arrest at the BT Sport studios in October.

But McCoist was left anxious by the lack of response from the Tottenham legend.

“Whatever you do Glenn, please give us a call back,” the Scotsman joked.

“Holy smokes, I can’t relax.”

After a few minutes, Hoddle phoned back, and McCoist could not contain his relief.

“Glenn, you’ve got no idea how glad we are to have you back,” he said.

“I could not take another bit of my bacon. I was beside myself, Glenn.”

Rio Ferdinand experience a similar moment of panic when he celebrated Tottenham’s stunning victory over Ajax earlier this season.

After watching Lucas Moura’s last-gasp heroics, Hoddle told fellow former Tottenham star Gary Lineker: “I’ve never been happier.

“I’m so glad I’m still around to see this.

“Being a Spurs fan from when I was eight years old, what a proud moment this is.”
