All these posts criticising Gazza are completely fair enough. But by God that goal against Scotland was sublime, wasn't it?
 
I was too young to remember '66 world cup and barely remember '70. Between '70 and '90 England as a footballing nation we were 2nd rate and then came along Gazza.

I agree with posts about George Best he was something else but I'm struggling to think of an English footballer since 1970 that matches Gazza at his best and was on a par with the best of the best at his time.

Made me feel fantastic about England in '90 and along with Shearer made a great summer in '96.

As a person he is no role model but I don't see him trying to judge me so don't see why I should judge him.

As a footballer and an entertainer he was a good one.

Gascoigne, Lampard, Gerrard - no contest which one I'd have at their best.

Robin Friday. Rodney Shithouse Marsh. Frank Worthington (when he felt like it). Alan Hudson (periodically)
 
I see the author was born in that well known suburb of Newcastle which is Coldstream - f***ing hell he's closer to Edinburgh than Newcastle

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Friday - entire playing career with (iirc) Reading and Swansea, 0 caps.

Shithouse - 9 caps, 0 in finals

Worthington - 9 caps, 0 in finals

Hudson - 2 caps, 0 in finals

None of them fit to lace Gazza's boots, even post-knee carnage. Ask any foreigner who the last English player to light up a World Cup was..

Asked 4, 3 said Owen.
The other said Beckham but they're American, and female.

Gazza's far from a genius, he's definitely a wanker though.

No offence, Hetzke, but most people here in France would struggle to remember him ..... midfield players like Platini, Giresse and Jean Tigana, who finished playing much longer ago, are remembered in England.

He may have lit up our World Cup but more people remember Chris Waddle's pelanty over here to be honest.

I think you arte giving people in England a bit too much credit mate.

Even a lot of those that remember platini would probably associate him more as a cunt of an administrator than the football genius that he was.

They'd struggle to remember that Tigana was at Fulham for a while.

I remember Beardsley and Lineker dual-handedly reviving England's World Cup bid. I remember Michael Owen slaloming his way through the Argentine defence before lashing an unstoppable shot past the keeper. I remember Archie Gemmill doing much the same thing to World Cup favourites Holland. Paul Gascoigne? Crying like a bairn because he got booked for being a hot-headed liability.

I hate the French for their pompous obsession with good manners but even I was cringing when Gascoigne was shown laughing at his own belches and fake plastic tits.

They like Bobby Moore mind :roll:

You're talking several competitions there. Strange that you'd then miss out Gazza's goal against Scotland.

Ask any unbiased football fan to name a best England 11 of the last 25 years and I'd wager that Gazza's name would be one of the most commonly picked - more than Owen and Beardsley put together.

You may well be right.
I'm naturally biased against Gascoigne so it's difficult to be realistic.
I wonder, though, how many great or even good games Gascoigne actually had for England.
 
Would we saying the same if Gazza had been a mackem and played for Sunderland all of his career? I doubt it.

Gazza's personal life has nothing to do with his ability as a footballer, and really, I think they should be separated, and we have no right to talk about what is obviously a serious psychiatric disorder. He has obviously resorted to extremes in his attempts to cope with his disorder.

He is not the only one to press the self destruct button due to chemicals.

I don't see any remarks about a Sunderland player, a similar personality, not as extreme, but still as self-destructive - and dead because of his dependencies.

I had the pleasure of watching him in my youth:- In 98 games over two and a half years at Sunderland he became known for drinking himself unconscious the night before a match.

He drank to excess, and at one point was said to be consuming three bottles of Bacardi a day

After retiring from football he became manager of a pub, and his continued heavy drinking damaged his liver so badly that he needed two transplants at the age of 55, after which he swore off alcohol. He was also addicted to gambling, and is estimated to have lost between £250,000 and £500,000 a fortune in the 1960's. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2001.

ANOTHER TOTAL WASTE OF LIFE. R.I.P Jim Baxter.

When he drives around the NE smashed out of his head, with total contempt for anyone he injures, maims or kills, I think we have every right to comment.

And what exactly is this 'serious psychiatric disorder' you speak of?

Bipolar disorder. Sufferers are commonly known to attempt to offset the effects with drink and drugs rather than endure the effects of the illness itself.

Sorry if my comments disagree with the herd mentality of the mag haters.

Gazza was a brilliant footballer. His private life is a different matter, and I for one, hope he recovers and doesn't meet an early demise.

Is that a guess or are you a qualified psychiatrist?
 
Anyone who condones Gazza, or thinks he in anyway is a legend, IS A C.U.N.T.

You brain is a C.U.N.T.

And whoever raised you is a C.U.N.T.

This man is a horrible scummy fucker who, lets take away a any talent for football, should still be in jail.
 
Was Hitler a genius? Pol Pot? Charles Manson? Andy Carroll?

Give your head a shake.

Michaelangelo was genius. Beethoven, Einstein, Newton. None of which were ever caught driving round the quayside pissed.

Pervert here Before Einstein finally settled on his cousin Elsa, he apparently almost married her 22-year-old daughter instead (Elsa was his first cousin through his mother's side AND second cousin through his father's side. In addition to the theory of relativity, Einstein was the only human capable of conceptualizing the branches of his own family tree that he had sex with). Then he supposedly got some side action from Elsa's sister when they were younger, which he defended in a letter to Elsa by pointing out "You can't blame me; we were young and she was willing."

He was caught boning his best friend's niece years later.

Einstein would also write to his stepdaughter and wife to tell them which women he was currently sexifying, and sometimes had his stepdaughter act as a messenger to deliver letters to his mistresses, because if you're going to not give a fuck you might as well go all the way.
