Paul Gascoigne

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

I listened to a few minutes of Gascoigne promoting his new book on Talk Sport yesterday. He was asked how many titles he thinks he would have won if he had signed for the rags. They have to shoehorn those bastards into every conversation.

Quite happy I didn't listen to it then

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

The biggest myth of all is that he kept them all in line. Utter tosh. He wouldn't have had any affect on Gascoigne's drinking.

He'd had topped his glass up for him like the drunkard off the Fast Show. Anyone who was a major part of his team he sucked up to. Kissed Cuntona's arse the pissed up twat.

He's done well to reach 58.

Saw a bit about his book where hes saying he ran some poor **** over in his car whilst at Newcastle, he's got a long list of wrong un type crimes which his fame gotten him out of, same as the "pranks" he pulled at clubs, proper nightmare of a bloke.

I’d rather read a Michael Owen autobiography than any incoherent pissed up bullshit from that bell end.

Two different games I believe. Gazza was giving Lakey grief in a draw when we played in blue and white. The game at home when we wore maroon was due to fog. Wayne Clarke scored for us I believe but it might have come off Redmond's knee(s

Didn't we swap to the home kit second half, tbh your probably right,I can't remember,it was 35 years ago.

Hahaha......ooph. You certainly wouldn't have enjoyed the comments section on YouTube under his appearance on Talkshite. My life, you'd think he nursed sick children.

He even spoke about some bloke walking down the street with his two kids and he broke down crying in front of Gascoigne, falling to his knees and telling Gascoigne he was his hero. Pretty shite behaviour from a father in front of his kids......if true!

Haha that has to be a windup surely

 

[Vienna_70]

Not forgetting throwing a boot at Beckham's head when he got frustrated with his attitude and all the off field superstar bullshit.
Then there were the Barthez parties and Rio dodging the dope test.

There’s no question that camelgob would have passed a dope test.

He’s the biggest dope going.

In common with most old piss heads, Mr Gascoigne has a tendency to ....make things up.

No idea mate, but he definitely said it. Probably exaggerating the interaction. I've no doubt there are plenty of people who call him their hero and would have no issue with saying it to him in front of their kids. The bit about him falling to his knees and crying I'd like to think is a wee bit of artistic license on the part of Herr Gascoigne.

His piss soaked mind probably got it backwards.

Gascgoine was so fucked off his head that it was him who tripped up and fell on his arse.

The scary thing is how many people got very rich on the back of paul-gascoigne ? Plus many would not look twice at him now. What is the saying ? fools with their money

My very 1st game was against Spurs think it was 1989 and 1-1 I remember being sat in North Stand , spurs had both Gazza and Linekar playing with Gazza scoring and David White scoring for us, and they wore the all yellow kit. Can only remember City wearing blue though . The biggest memory of the day was my dad nearly getting killed in the Sherwood. His initials are IRA and he stupidly put it on the football card and won. Nearly got lynched

I believe they are using it as a sedation technique in Hospitals these days.

I listened...it was like being cornered by the pub bore...for an hour.

You've got a great memory.id agree with your post but I have watched YT footage of both games many times.,so it's not all memory
tbh Paul Lake and Paul Gascgoine are two of the best players I've ever seen play the game.
All I can say ,ignoring the ear taunts from gazza, having those two players on the pitch at the same time in central midfield was highly entertaining.
The only other time the two met,iirc,was the Spurs away 1st game of the season when Lake was named captain at centre back ,my fav player at the time,I was so proud.
Gazza spoiled the party unfortunately.......
Then Kendall did one.
From the high of being in the loud away end at Spurs in the sun....few weeks later manager fucks off
Talk about shattered dreams !!

He needs to ditch the Gary Glitter beard.

This fucking nonsense about footballers being better or more exciting in the 90s is pure gaslighting. It was route 1, lumped up with the aim of less than 3 passes.

How many times the 2nd touch was a tackle. I also saw him go missing in games, seasons.

Very true. Gascogne was brilliant as a youngster but his career at the elite level was very short. So much nostalgic crap is spouted about football in the past.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Funny you should mention that
I can remember being away with City at WHL on the 1st day of The season,first match after Italia 90 World cup..

Spurs scored 1st ,we equalized,playing some glorious football with Paul Lake captain
Kendall was manager . We held them to 1-1 at half time ..

2nd half Gazza just ripped us to shreds ....unplayable 2nd half ....That might have been the game he refuelled at half time ! Spurs won 3-1 ..

I was there as well. I think that was the best I him play. But he was very inconsistent. I saw him make his debut for Newcastle as a teenager. I was working in the North East, He looked fantastic on that day.

And all the bungs from anyone who wanted to do business with United at the time.

He should have gone in the Clarence. He would have got free drinks in there!
