An Evening with Gazza

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Wow what a terrible thread full of sad little sanctimonious wankers who probably never did anything with their own lives having a pop at a guy who brought joy to many people through his outstanding talent.

Wonder if any of you clowns know that alcohol addiction is an illness ?

I'm not having a pop at the man. He's got issues for sure.

I don't think the PFA do enough to help troubled players, from grass roots all the way to the very top.

What about Israel's?

Very good :-)

Very good :-)

It was middling; not sure I'd go as far as very good.

6/10 for humour
But
10/10 for current relevance.

The old saying, ‘street angel, house devil’
Known a few of them in my life
I always thought he was a bit overrated as a player
And anyone who mimes playing a flute in the charged atmosphere of an old firm derby is a bit of a ****

Really weird that. I’ve never heard the saying “street angel, house devil” until today in 45 years. Read it in a quote by Peggie Gallagher about an hour ago in the Supersonic book and now you.

How you doing pal?

I’m sure I read he’d been inveigled into it by teammates. And this was acknowledged to be as such.

I’m a huge fan of Gascoigne, always have been. He did it early doors in a match against Steaua Bucharest and said that he had death threats, including one at a red light in Glasgow city centre.

To do it again at Parkhead months later is incredibly stupid.

I’m never going to be offended by such a thing but the Rangers fan on here claiming he was set up - yes, he was the first time, but after death threats, maybe don’t do it again.

Still love the bloke. How are you pal?

I loved it when he did it.

Upset a fair few hehe.

I loved it when he did it.

Upset a fair few hehe.

Also when he carded the Ref, very funny.

Also when he carded the Ref, very funny.

Ahh yes, that was even better. He's a funny man loved by many.

He’s definitely a ****, but I think the flute was down to ignorance more than anything malign.

Disagree about him being (entirely) overrated as a player, at least before his injury in the FA Cup Final. He had skill, balance and supreme acceleration to get himself away from the defending opposition player. That tackle completely robbed him of the latter. In his prime. Who knows what a player he could have been without that self-imposed hindrance.

I genuinely once had a conversation with Gary Charles about that tackle, sat on a wall on High Pavement in Nottingham.

tbf, he was incredibly magnanimous.

Gary Charles had a really good crack at trying to match Gazza's problems with the booze.
