I just remember him playing when I was a kid.... sure he done a managerial stint at Newcastle? I could be wrong

He did. Always gave the impression of being slightly out of his depth. Came across well though and is fairly fondly remembered up north.

This. Saw him playing for Orient at Palace a week or so after they’d been beaten in the FA Cup (maybe a SF?). Must have been around 78. Also managed Norwich I think.

Yes, looked it up. The following Saturday they lost 1-0 at Palace. Roeder, an elegant, ball playing defender at the time, left for QPR at the end of that season.

Was that when Venables was in charge at Palace?

Was that when Venables was in charge at Palace?

Yes. It was just about the beginning of the so called “Team of the Eighties”. We had won the FA Youth Cup the year before and would win it again that season. Hilaire, Sansom and one or two others just starting to play regularly.

That is sad news, always seemed a thoroughly decent and nice man. RIP Glen.

RIP Glen, always come across as a decent person. Anybody remember the clip of him doing stopovers and beating players on the touch line? Not sure if it was on the start of MOTD in the 80s.

Sad news, he was a decent player, run of the mill manager but always came across as a decent guy, obviously thought well of in footballing circles, he'd been fighting his tumour a good few years RIP

He’s gone back to underworld

You've surpassed yourself there Kurt.

Glenn Roeder was Gazza's minder for a bit when he joined Lazio in 1992.

He did manage the Canaries and signed Wes Hoolahan an exquisite skiillful footballer and fan favourite at Bloomfield road, who went on to be a club legend with Norwich. The Irish Messi i think they called him.

That's from the 70's? Jebus, it's better picture quality than a lot of 90s clips you see.
