Glenn Hoddle DENIES he threw David Beckham 'under the bus' after red card at the 1998 World Cup... as the former England boss rubbishes claims made by the Three Lions icon's family

Glenn Hoddle has insisted he helped David Beckham after his red card in the 1998 World Cup, rather than 'throw him under the bus'.

Former England manager Hoddle was referenced in Beckham's documentary 'Beckham' late last year as slamming the former Manchester United man on the back of his red card against Argentina.

The Three Lions icon lashed out at Argentina's Diego Simeone, who by his own admission went down softly, in the 47th minute of the game, forcing England to play with 10 men for the remainder of the last-16 clash after being given his marching orders.
