Glenn Hoddle, as always seems to be the case when an England game is the telly these days, was trending on UK Twitter on Tuesday evening.

The former England manager was on co-commentary duty for ITV's coverage of the friendly against Italy, although didn't appear to be too familiar one of the men making his Three Lions debut. James Tarkowski, whose performances for Burnley this season earned him a call-up to the squad, was given a start at Wembley. A shame then, that Hoddle seemed to have mistaken him for a Russian composer... Yep, months on from his bemusing description of Harry Kane's World Cup qualification-clinching winner against Slovenia, Hoddle repeatedly referred to the defender as 'Tchaikovsky', much to the amusement of many of those watching at home... Here, have a listen. https://twitter.com/BeardedGenius/status/978714844819001344 Never change, Glenn.
