Diamond Lights
"Diamond Lights" is a 1987 single by footballers Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle, released under their first names, "Glenn & Chris". The song, by the then-Tottenham Hotspur and England team-mates, reached number 12 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1987 and was by far the more successful of two chart releases for the duo.〔 Despite its success, public opinion of the record's quality has been decidedly negative with the pair's television performance of the song being widely ridiculed.
The celebrated music video of Diamond Lights features Glenn and Chris playing themselves. It tells a story of a mystery woman appearing between the real lives of Glenn and Chris. The action unfolds between singing in the recording studio and spending time with their fans and signing autographs at a school. The music video was filmed outside Broadfields Junior school in Edgware, north west London. The award winning video features the acting debut of Mark Stone, the acclaimed brand strategist and DJ. The video also featured the acting debut and football skills of Bradley Greene, a Tottenham Hotspur fan, who in the following year went on to star as George Banks in the Broadfields Junior school production of Mary Poppins, a legendary acting performance that is still celebrated to this day.
==Background==
Chris Waddle recalls the single coming about following an appearance two of them made for their personal sponsors, Budget Rent a Car, at an annual company awards ceremony.〔 Hoddle and Waddle attempted an impromptu karaoke performance which was praised by a friend with connections in the music industry who was able to introduce the duo to Bob Puzey.〔 Puzey, whose writing credits included ''I'm in the Mood for Dancing'' by The Nolan Sisters and ''Soul Rock'' by Billy Ocean, auditioned the pair and agreed to write and co-produce a single for them.〔 The "diamond lights" of the title are reportedly a reference to the floodlights commonly in use in football stadia.
