Hanky Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hendrie was always an enigma. Showed flashes of quality then would dissappear out the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I met Graham Taylor once. He told me "lee hendrie is so bad, he doesn't even know when he's lying any more". True story, always stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerHQ Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I thought he'd signed for Aberdeen but just listening to 5 live and apparently he came on for Bradford at the weekend? Such a waster, couple of years older than Barry but both broke through at the same time. One's still playing for England and a top 6 club, the other is scrabling around league two now.

paddy Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 He made one of my favourite quotes of all time, about Jade Goodie: "Yeah we're friends but I'm not piecing her". Didn't he sleep with someone else on his wedding night? Also I know someone who was in the same group when Hendrie pissed in a girl's hand bag. Nice guy.

PauloBarnesi Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hendrie released from Bradford City Bradford City have released former former Aston Villa and England midfielder Lee Hendrie. The 33-year-old joined the Bantams on a short-term deal in August and made 14 appearances, scoring twice. City boss Peter Taylor told the club website: "I feel really sorry for him. He has been a superb professional during his time at the football club. "Lee's a great lad, he's still a great player. We have a League Two budget and we could only take this deal so far." Meanwhile, striker Louis Moult has returned to Stoke after his loan spell expired. Probably could do more of a job than Bobby Pires mind...

PauloBarnesi Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hendrie joins rogue Indonesian Leafue Hendrie, who spent a decade at the English Premier League club from the mid-1990s, has penned a two-year deal and is expected to make his debut for the Javanese club on Saturday. "He will act as a link-man and second striker who will supply our forwards ... his presence will give us a lift," Bandung Chief Executive officer Mohamad Kusnaeni told Reuters on Thursday. "He will be a role model for other players at Bandung FC given his experience playing in the best league in the world." Capped once by England during his Villa days, Hendrie later dropped down divisions. He became a free agent earlier this month when he was released from a short-term deal at League Two side Bradford City. An FA Cup runner-up and Intertoto Cup winner with Villa, 33-year-old Hendrie's signing to play in the Indonesian Premier League (LPI) marks his first spell outside England and will be a boon to the new Asian league. "I am proud to have the opportunity," Hendrie said at the LPI's offices in Jakarta. STAR APPEAL Bandung, second bottom of the league with two defeats after two matches, aim to use Hendrie's star appeal to boost the growth of talent at the club. "As a (globally known) player, Lee Hendrie will be appointed our football ambassador for coaching grassroot and youth development players in Bandung," Kusnaeni said. The LPI is an independent professional soccer league launched earlier this month, backed by the sports minister but not the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI). The PSSI's official top flight competition is the 18-club Indonesia Super League (ISL). The 19-team LPI, including three who switched from the ISL, is the brainchild of oil tycoon Arifin Panigoro. "The LPI is a reform league concept that meets with FIFA's direction 'For the Good of the Game' Task Force and AFC's Pro-League Committee," league official Abi Hasantoso told Reuters. "The LPI was created to improve the achievements of national football." Despite being ranked just 126th in the world by FIFA, Indonesian fans are among the most passionate in the world. Other notable players to have plied their trade on the archipelago include Argentine World Cup winner Mario Kempes and Cameroonian striker Roger Milla.

blandy Posted January 27, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 27, 2011 Good luck to him. Maybe a spell in a different culture will do him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 27, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm sure he will emerse himself in the culture and return a far wiser and well rounded individual. Then again, its Lee Hendrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legov Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Cool, we have many Singaporean players in that league*, word is that the atmospheres are up there with Europe's best. * Edit: Maybe not, didn't realise it was the breakaway league.

Woodytom Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I would go as far and saying that Hendrie was more talented than Frank Lampard and Gareth Barry Surely a winde up. It Just has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 not really he just has an awful attitude. Frank Lampard is an average player but credit to him he worked hard on his strengths to become one fo Englands best players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
