Could Gazza have been better than Zidane?

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Fucking Zidane??? I know we over inflate talent in this country but he’s still of been short of the best midfielder this country has produced in Paul scholes, rag or not, he would of fell well short of him!

I doubt any manager could have sorted him out I mean I don’t think Walter Smith was a soft touch and even he couldn’t keep him the straight and narrow .........imagine if Roger Milford would have sent him off or even booked him before he jumped in with that tackle

 

[Gazza]

If he was better, then he would have been better - but he wasn't better so he wasn't.

Had gazza not been so loopy and fulfilled all his potential would he have achieved what zidane did? This sparked a huge debate at worl yesterday, just wondered what bluemooners thought?

No.

Bit weird speaking about yourself in the 3rd person.

Zinedine was nowhere to be seen when Raoul needed a mate and I think that really seals the deal to be honest.

What a thread that was!

Gazza’s personality and attitude killed his career but if it wasn’t for his personality and attitude he wouldn’t have been the player he was

The press killed his career.

The press killed his career.

His tackle on Gary Charles probably did quite a bit of damage too.

I read an interview Gazza gave about that night. 16 lines of coke and he decided to tell the taxi driver to head to the airport first before heading onto Rothbury, which in itself is 25 miles from Newcastle Airport. The driver said yes to the request to go to Rothbury anyway so I'm left a bit unsure as to whether anyone needed to go to the airport at all.
