Chris Waddle - Magic Chris 

Well come on, if you don't love a bit of Chris Waddle then you're doing it wrong.

One of the greatest English players ever. As a kid I loved watching him take the piss out of so called superstars of the time. Waddle was so elegant in his movement for a tall lad and he always looked like he had enough time on the ball to make a cup of tea. Such class.

He really developed into a world class player in his 30's, something "clicked" when he started to play for Olympique Marseille where he became a worthy successor of the "swedish Garrincha", Olympique Marseille star man Roger Magnusson who was Europe's best dribbler of the ball in the late 60's, early 70's together with Jimmy Johnstone and George Best. Waddle was a showman, an entertainer galore ..!

As a Scotsman I loved watching Waddle as a kid on Match of the day in the 80s and 90s, during the golden era of football. What a player, one of the greats for sure.

The original mullet meister! Had the cut myself. Had so much technical skill and touch for a six footer. Wish he was still at spurs 🙌👍

One of my favourite player ever ! Thank you once again !

Pure magic. One of the best of all time in my opinion

Mon idole ... il m a fait aimer le foot ..chris mon favori pour toujours .. une légende de l olympique de marseille .. merci Chris je t adore 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍

Waddle was ridiculous in the 1980s, when he had pace. Like, legitimately one of the top 5 best players in the world at Marseille

My favorite soccer player of all time. First time seeing Waddle play. I thought this dude is badass! His style and finesse was very unique. Chris Waddle was the "Total package" his dribbling skills like no other. He would breeze by defenders like they weren't even there. To the point where I'd start laughing 😀His pin-piont passing with the inner and outside of his foot was awesome. He was allowed to play all over the field. Why confine a player who can do it all right? So many spectacular goals. That one where he flips the ball over Bats head and heels it in is classic. Also where he nutmegs the referee and scores a rocket shot in the left top conner. He played for the crowd. A total showman of the game. The best to ever do it #1 in my book.

England has never replaced him in the national team. A genuinely two footed genius. Would love to have him at Spurs atm, omg he’d be amazing!

It pains me to say it as a Blade, but fucking hell Waddle was some player. The way he took the piss out of Ryan Giggs was just glorious, and something that any football fan should enjoy watching.

Magnificent. And for such an elite player he played for some very interesting teams, as well. A real range and spread of clubs in stature and style, from the aristocrats of Marseille, who back in the start of the 90s were a real European powerhouse who would no doubt have continued to be for much longer, and would no doubt would have kept players like Waddle but for the terrible aftermath of the terrible decision to cheat their way to a European Cup championship victory, down to the likes of Bradford City right at the end of his career, and now, and to the best of my knowledge he is STILL playing football at the age of around 60 for a very tiny local team. There are videos of him scoring some ridiculous goals even at his current level and current age, if you look for them you can find them.

I'd forgotten just how good Chris Waddle was! Definitely one of the best players we've produced and often goes under the radar when we talk about England's best-ever players. Such a shame that he's sometimes remembered for his penalty miss, than his fantastic career. He was in the best England team we've ever had since 66 and should have won the World Cup. A class act.

Definitely in my heart!!!❤thank you so much Chris to be our "crazy horse 🐎" of Stade Vélodrome !!!!❤👍👍👍

Loved this. Chrissy Waddle.. the blueprint for being a world class winger! Subscribed!

Im French and i remember him very well when he played for OM, he was exceptionnal, what a showman! I used to watch England at times just to watch him play

Favourite Player ever. Had the Mullet as a Kid, would have again if it weren't starting to go on top! 😁COYS

Chris is a Legend as a proper bloke and mercurial maestro on the ball. Thanks Widdley for it all.

One of the best players I’ve ever seen live

wand of a left foot & that drop shoulder... class.

Nice compilation of the Waddler, it was a shame that Spurs sold Hoddle and Waddle but we can be proud that it let our continental European friends experience and learn from a more skill & flair based brand of football! ;-)

One of the greatest wingers in late 80s early 90s. Still best in England late on for Sheffield Wednesday. Absolute top class player.

I am too young to have seen waddle play but I am a Sheffield wednesday fan. I wish I saw him play

Bruno Conti , Claudio Sala , Savicevic , Waddle :" Funambolici prestigiatori mancini a giocare sulla fascia destra" .

He was fucking Mustard. We Love You Widdley. ❤

Just as good as Bale in his prime. Outstanding talent.

Amazing compilation! Well done! What a player Waddle was....loads of talent

Both Hoddle and Waddle played proper football when the English still played kick and rush. That mullet is classic! By the way, great choice of music, The Stone Roses, "Love Spreads".

Best english player i ever saw. My England Squad GK Shilton RD Parker LD Pearce CB Tony Adams CB Des Walker CMF Bryan Robson CMF Gerrard RW Chris Waddle LW Glenn Hoddle N° 10 Gascoigne STR Shearer Bench: Seaman Pickford Gary Neville Cole Ferdinand Butcher Ince Lampard Scholes Beckham Jonh Barnes Peter Bearsdley Harry Kane Gary Lineker PS: only players i saw

Still can't see Waddle without also thinking of Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

Pure flair. I'd always find a place in my 11 for a player like this.

Apparently there was some football being played while this f**king brilliant music was happening in this video.

Chris, the best forever, thank you for marseille, never forget you in france !

Georgie Best brought the showmanship to English football, like Pelé & his Brazilians, during Best era. Players like Brady, Hoddle, Waddle,Barnes, Gasgoine, Le Tissier, Giggs, took up the mantle, when Georgie packed it in.

Nice video this detail history!

Imagine Waddle at Tottenham today, he'd be on 200 grand a week and making Kulusevski, Johnson and Werner look like Sunday league wingers. The really is a lack of individual brilliant wingers in the game today and Waddle was a one off, what a player he was.

Wow, amazing Chris. A real crack. Underrated in England, like Hoddle.

J'ai adoré ce magnifique joueur à l'epoque , in m'a inspiré en tant qu'aillier gauche alors que je suis droitier alors que lui etait gaucher mais aillier droit , ce qui destabilisait les arrieres lateraux mais , il fallait savoir faire comme lui , dribler et aller vite dans sa course pour avoir le temps de se remettre sur son bon pied . Une reference à jamais pour moi qui ai maintenant 45 piges , mais ..., c'est sur et certain , les plus grands dribleurs comme zidane , Ronaldo ou Ronaldinho, ont au moins une fois , du etudier ce magnifique joueur qu'etait MAGIC CHRISS WADDLE. ENORMISSIME ET MERCI POUR CE SOUVENIR QUE TU VIENS DE M'OFFRIR AVEC TA VIDEO L'AMI . .SUPERBE. ❤❤❤

Crazy to think in that generation England had Waddle, Gascoigne, Beardsley and John Barnes too. No wonder I never got a game for England. I mean, sure, I was 18 and not even English. All the same. I'll never forgive them.

The goal at 0:56 is insane. First the dummy cross then storming into the box to lob it into the top corner. Absolute genius.

I was extremely angry with Irving Scholar's financial fiasco when Spurs were forced to sell Waddle to Marseilles. A truly brilliant talent !!!

Awesome video!!

What a legend.

4:02 boyhood Sunderland fan scoring a belter free kick in front of the Fulwell End on the last professional game at Roker Park 👌

Fantastic

Skillwise, Waddle was an 80’s George Best.

Où sont passées mes belles années, mes années sans insouciances ? Oui y’a eu Didier, mamad’ mais depuis ???

Messi before Messi I stand by this statement

Robson never grasped how to use Waddle and Barnes together..

The best

❤

Am a Liverpool fan in 92/93 he’s the name I went out in street pretending to be 😂absolute genius

England unfortunately wasn’t ready for that great football player called Glenn Hoddle

Different gravy!

Crazy the way Gazza gets all the plaudits that and "what ifs" - Chris was twice as good as him

Cris è stato il mio unico mio Idolo calcistico

❤❤❤❤❤❤

for always the best player for me

Is this Love Spreads from that guitar hero game? It sounds great. Definitely a different mix than Second Coming Love Spreads.

Graham Taylor saw this and thought: "Nope, not for me" What the hell was he thinking???

My Forever Footy Heroe! Top Bloke. Enall

Dopo questo ottimo video sul magico Chris lo riuscite a fare un video su: Madjer e Mikailichenko? Grazie

un pied gauche just redoutaaaaaaaable redoutable

WAWAW

that 'RMC' is most horrific sponsor ever

what position did he play ?

Fantastic Video. That Waddle was a tad handy eh?

When you see him now at 61 its hard to believe he was such a talent like this

Crack

Was that Giggs he took the p*** out of?

Best English right winger of all time, please noboday say Beckham

To think England had Waddle and Barnes on the wings - Gascoigne in the middle and Beardsley up top .. the likes of Scholes - lampard wouldn't be fit to lace there boots... period

10 or left winger ?

Twice the player Giggs was

Great video, helped immensely by the Stone Roses. Required viewing for anyone who thinks of Chris as nothing more than a Brexit-loving idiot.

pffffffff et bassem TH qui ose mais qui ose dire apres que Waddle etait pas un bon joueur on reve c'est lui bassem le footix mdr

Just how good was Graham Taylor’s England team if Waddle couldn’t make it in? 🤮
