Christopher "Chris" Roland Waddle (born December 14, 1960 in Heworth near Gateshead , Tyne and Wear , England ) is a former English football player of the 1980s and 1990s.
Athletic career
Born in Heworth, near Gateshead , Waddle began his football career as a midfielder with the amateur club Tow Law Town, after failing in each trial at the professional clubs Sunderland , Coventry City and Newcastle United . Waddle worked from then on in a sausage factory and was then signed by Newcastle for £ 1,000 in 1980. There he developed well and scored 46 goals in 169 games and was called up to the England U21 youth team. He was part of the team that returned to the First Division in 1984 and formed an effective attacking trio alongside Kevin Keegan and Peter Beardsley .
The search for a better sporting perspective then led him to Tottenham Hotspur in July 1985 , where he moved for just under 700,000 pounds. Waddle completed 173 games for the Spurs, in which he scored 42 goals and was also a regular in the English national team during this time . There he played, together with his former club colleague Beardsley, at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico , when England were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
An extremely successful season followed, at the end of which he was in the final of the FA Cup , which Tottenham lost to Coventry City. In addition, Tottenham finished third in the championship and reached the semi-finals in the League Cup . In the same year he released a music single with Glenn Hoddle called Diamond Lights, which made it into the top 20 of the UK Top 40 . With three defeats in the group stage of the 1988 European Championship in Germany , Waddle was eliminated with England in the preliminary round of the European Championship.
Waddle moved in 1989 for a transfer fee of 4.5 million pounds, the third-highest transfer proceeds in football history at the time, to the French club Olympique Marseille . In France he experienced a very successful era when he won three consecutive championships between 1990 and 1992 in a team with many top players. In the penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals against Germany at the 1990 World Cup , he shot the last penalty over the crossbar and thus contributed to England's elimination from the tournament. In extra time, he also failed at the German post. In 1991 he was with Olympique Marseille in the final of the European Cup, but Marseille lost on May 29, 1991 in Bari against Red Star Belgrade on penalties. Waddle returned to England in July 1992 to join the Trevor Francis- coached Sheffield Wednesday club for £ 1.25 million . The club reached the final in both cup competitions and lost to Arsenal . Waddle scored it the goal of Sheffield Wednesday in the replay of the FA Cup Finals. Despite some injuries during that season, Waddle was subsequently voted England's Footballer of the Year by journalists .
After more than 100 games for Sheffield Wednesday, Waddle was released in 1996 and played briefly for Scottish club Falkirk before he was then signed by Bradford City . He then joined Sunderland and then moved to Burnley in 1997 , where he acted as player- coach. After the club was only able to prevent relegation on the last day of the game, Waddle left the club in 1998.
His next player station was the club Torquay United , to which he came at the beginning of the 1998/99 season. As early as the following November he left Torquay again because he did not want to continue the regular commute between his home in Yorkshire and the south coast of England.
Waddle joined the coaching staff of Sheffield Wednesday and then returned to amateur football to play for the clubs Worksop Town and Glapwell . Today he also works on the radio at BBC Radio Five Live , where he summarizes and comments on Premier League matches .
