Back when footballers could come from the streets. Not now, never see an unlikely lad like gazza again. Best footballer produced by England. Closely followed by scholes.
Feel exactly the same mate used to watch this video loads then I'd be straight down the common on my own and train so hard he totally inspired me. Summer 1990 was without doubt the best summer of my life and I was only 11!
the man loves the game with an out and out passion... every waking second...very difficult to control that type of passion... I think it's just as difficult to nail down, in words, Paul Gasgoine.. couple of words we can say ... football genius.
He looks great here. Only five years later when he signed for Rangers, he looked about 15 years older after all his operations and problems at Lazio. It's like the whole shape of his face changed.
Check out the documentary 'The Rangers Years'....incredible football, incredible goals, incredible stories all stemming from Gazza. Easily the best period of his career and clearly meant more to him personally than any other too.
Most gifted player I've seen in the flesh. He was at the height of his ability when this was being filmed and I remember a lot of these home games. My dad thought he was the best player he'd seen after George Best. The Man Utd deal would not have worked. Ferguson would try to control Gazza and he would suck the God-given creativity out of him, as he has done with Rooney. Venables understood Gazza's personality and his management of him for the most part worked.
you forget how thrilling a player he really was outside of all the usual gazza hype and histrionics. he scored some cracking goals prefer to watch this type of player than the technically excellent england players of 2020s but who are dull pedestrian in comparison to past masters.
Gazza....Football legend. Such a sad story and went through alot. Saw his friend get killed by a car aged 10, then of course missing a world cup final and getting injured in the fa cup final and not climbing the beloived steps at wembley to get the cup. All these plus a few other things fooked his head up and he tended to dwell on things, no wonder the drinking set in. Likeable fellow although sometimes abit ott, his heart was in the right place. Gazza!!! one of Englands finest midfielders.
He never missed a world cup final. England didn't play in the final. As for missing lifting the FA Cup he has got nobody but himself to blame for that. He injured himself while seemingly trying to take the life of another player.
really good, because I lived in the states throughout your career never got to see you play live, at the twilight of your playing days i finally got to see you play, leicester v boro, you scored but in that couple of seconds i saw the genius that this doc portrays, great movies ty for posting, i
Moving to Spurs instead of Man UTD was the biggest mistake of his life, not just his career. Fergie and the United set-up would ahve taken much better care of him as a person and a player. What a difference 1 decision can make.
Chris The Yido You fail to see the bigger picture and call me an idiot? He played well for spurs but his lifestyle in London and the way he was allowed to act as a young footballer ruined his career…and him as a person!
Chris The Yido Not a chance. he was a kid at Newcastle and he was allowed to continue to act like one at Spurs. Fergi looks after the young lads at United and shows them what it's like to be a professional…or you don't play. He would have taken good care of a young Gazza. It's hindsight now, but there's no doubt in my mind that he would have had a better career and he’s be a cleaner man now if he'd have chosen United over Spurs.
You had one such talent on your team - Berbatov - but F Fergie kept him on the bench. So no, it was better for Gascoigne that he went to play for Spurs and no other team, what should have happened was Spurs keeping him at the club and never selling him to Lazio or anyone else for the next 5-6 years.
I love this guy, one of the best players that has ever been, real down to earth, good laugh and passionate about the game. No heirs and graces about him, not like the prima donnas of today. Injuries hindered his career so much, the press ruined his private life.
macjakedom he doesn't regret leaving NUFC we were a joke when he did, he regrets not being called back when beardsley was under keegan and he ended up at rangers, shame he didn't he could've been legendary if he had
I wouldn't have wanted him back at NUFC at that stage of his career. By then he was a washed up alcoholic and druggie who had pissed away his wonderful talent and would have been a huge embarrassment to Newcastle United.
He had everything but that injury in the 91 cup final was devastating for his career. He was out of control that day and if he’d been rightly sent off after the first horrific tackle on Ian Woan then he wouldn’t have done his knee in the second challenge on Gary Charles.
until gazza played for england not many young kids went to see england play he got a lot of young kids going to games after world cup no player like him
Media always try find the bad in Gazza ,never do they print the true Gazza The son who just wanted play football had Man Utd ready and waiting but chose Spurs because offered buy his parents a house ,car .Gazza used money to help Inc total strangers ,sent terminal ill kid & family to Disneyland & much more generosity NOT done for ego or attention but because he is Paul Gascoigne The son who made sure parents shared the wealth Friend Jimmy was looked after Sisters ,brother just know would've wanted for nothing .I was privileged to watch Gazza tear apart opponents during most enjoyable time at Rangers Glasgow is very similar to Newcastle (& Gerrard found out Liverpool also)home from home Only couple hours drive to Geordie land .Along Brian Laudrup with good friend McCoist his goal bonus not since late Davie Cooper did Ally bonuses rocket lol
Should of played for his teammates rather than balling his eyes out and we might have gone to the final and maybe of won it but decided to think about himself , I believe this has been one of his major problems through out life, no question tho about what a great talent he was . Should of gone man utd.
Gazza was light years ahead of Scholes in terms of natural talent and skill but Scholes was infinitely more professional and as such made far more contribution for his club and country.
No disrespect to Tottenham but Gazza you should have chosen us(Manchester United)Ferguson would not allow the vultures to devour you,if you were with us.wasted at Tottenham with Venables.
this was a time when kids could dream of playing for their club, all thats gone now, the money men controlling the game have killed that, and i wont go anymore now, the pandemic for me didnt kill the game, its been the greedy men, and their agents, agents killed Clubland Entertainment,eventually they kill everything, all my mates about 20 of them wont go anymore, they mean it when they tell me some of them wont pay sky prices to watch their team.
Back when footballers could come from the streets. Not now, never see an unlikely lad like gazza again. Best footballer produced by England. Closely followed by scholes.

Shane T clearly jealous of him. More of a bloke than you will ever be
There is 2021 outside ,but I’m still watching the most charismatic and talented player’s this incredible biography movie . We love You Gazza !
Have you seen The Rangers Years here on RUclips? The Lazio documentary is good too but that Rangers one is much happier and more spectacular.
@@davidsanderson5918 can you share the link of those movies
SO GLAD YOU UPLOADED THIS! Growing up this was my favourite video, used to watch it every week. Gazza was my hero!

loved this video as a kid,watched it everyday,gazza if ur reading ur an absolute star,the greatest ever british player.
best in the world in his day.only player I've seen make playing 4 England look so easy.legend!

Fantastic video. Thanks for putting this on👍 Gazza Legend❤
what a player he was.pure class!!!!
Greatest British of all time no question
He looks great here. Only five years later when he signed for Rangers, he looked about 15 years older after all his operations and problems at Lazio. It's like the whole shape of his face changed.
so would yours if you had played with rangers ,
Ahh. Haha!!! Fuckin beltah!
He played his best football at sevco rangers

@@davidsanderson5918 he did, but in fairness, in a league that was inferior to Seria A and the English top flight.
Used to watch this all the time when
I was a kid and then be straight out onto field with my ball afterwards
Thanks a lot for the upload. Great memories of a special talent. Italia 90 is still so clear in my mind , even though I was only 8 at the time.
I had this video on VHS when i was a kid. No idea how many times ive watched it.
I had this VHS has a kid. Watched it so many times. What a legend
I Love this Guy..Greetings from Germany👋
I had this on vhs. Watched it religiously.
Most gifted player I've seen in the flesh. He was at the height of his ability when this was being filmed and I remember a lot of these home games. My dad thought he was the best player he'd seen after George Best.

oh ah cantona....
There's no way to know but I tend to agree with you -Fergie would probably have smothered the magic in Gazza's game and broken his spirit.
Brilliant. Love the interviews with his family and friends from back home, especially those ladies in the tea room. Hope Gazza is doing well now.
I used to love this VHS! The only time I could be putting up with Danny Baker as well
Paul gascoigne you are the man. The greatest player I ever seen thank you garza for blessing us with your gift stay safe and keep fighting Paul X
John Barrett Greatest ??? Lol !!

Nice one rik4000, been wondering when someone would upload this.. Oh the memories
top 5 greatest of all time...gazza could do anything on a football field..a rare thing indeed
fantasy talk mate wasnt even the best player at rangers...scholes was also a more complete player
lyncho85 don't talk shit theres no English player that could do what gascoinge could
really good, because I lived in the states throughout your career never got to see you play live, at the twilight of your playing days i finally got to see you play, leicester v boro, you scored but in that couple of seconds i saw the genius that this doc portrays, great movies ty for posting, i
I've been after this for YEEEEEARS!!!! ❤❤❤❤
sad to see how football has gone aswell as gazza
not the same!!
Dan Pilsworth I won't go that far, football in the 1980s was grim.
Please load up on RUclips the theme music in complete….✅✅✅
2 Million for Gazza back in the day. 100 Million Jack Grealish. Madness. UTV
Wow, that puts things into perspective - Grealish (my phone says Freakish when I first type his name! ) isn't fit to tie Gazza's boots
@markfarnon6742 won more than gazza did 😊 gazza couldn't handle the big occasion, I.e FA Cup Final where he was a lunatic and we knkw what happened.
Must of watched this video as a kid at least twice a week:-)
I wish we had him now at Spurs.
Gazza, you are a true legend. Class act.
Moving to Spurs instead of Man UTD was the biggest mistake of his life, not just his career. Fergie and the United set-up would ahve taken much better care of him as a person and a player. What a difference 1 decision can make.
Your the biggest idiot he did wonders for Spurs!!COYS

you are right for spurs but united would have been better for gascoignes career

mate Tottenham and London didn't make himin to a druggy he did he would of bee the same in United he was already nut at Newcastle

it's safe to say he had Shiltons measure. it would have been cheaper for Derby to commission a statue and put that between the sticks.
Yes Gazza just the bèst ever for England

What is the opening theme tune?
You don’t get characters in the game like gascoigne anymore shame 😪

@@shanet5604 Who the fuck are you?? My opinion, my fuckin' thoughts. Respect them as I would yours!
What a breakfest
A great player and from the North East too. Pity that 1990 game didn’t work out. We were far better than Germany with him.
a footballers house , and he was at the right top then... bizarre ...shows how much the game has changed
great video,never saw before...shame he dident go to Ferguson and manutd,things would have been completly different for gazz.
Shilton was just letting em in when he faced gazza...concrete boots lad
Proper trackie that haha
He regrets leaving Nufc. Bleeds black n white that lad. One of the best players the world has ever seen.
macjakedom he doesn't regret leaving NUFC we were a joke when he did, he regrets not being called back when beardsley was under keegan and he ended up at rangers, shame he didn't he could've been legendary if he had
I wouldn't have wanted him back at NUFC at that stage of his career. By then he was a washed up alcoholic and druggie who had pissed away his wonderful talent and would have been a huge embarrassment to Newcastle United.
charliepeebles bullshit bowyer was a disgrace
What a great programme. Danny baker is quality
He's a douchebag
is that Danny Baker? sorry but I only know him from Q.I
He had everything but that injury in the 91 cup final was devastating for his career. He was out of control that day and if he’d been rightly sent off after the first horrific tackle on Ian Woan then he wouldn’t have done his knee in the second challenge on Gary Charles.
He was running round like a maniac in the semi final . Feel something like this was always gonna happen sooner or later - he couldn’t be tamed
so embarrassed, had no idea how good you were,,wow,,
until gazza played for england not many young kids went to see england play he got a lot of young kids going to games after world cup no player like him
Is that Michel Platini interviewing gazza?
Always feel for Paul, should really have joined utd, would have won loads
His life would of turned out very different had he gone to United
Those bacon rations weren't cooked all the way ahah looked like the TV presenter did not want to eat it
If gazzas mother walked into the Tottenham changing room his team mates would've thought it was gazza with a dress and wig on.
It likely was

Shame to see that he looked so healthy back then but now looks so frail and on deaths door :-(
When real football and there was no qatar sh*t
Eh
Spurs needed 2 balls. 1 for Gazza and one for the rest of the team to play with?
All went down hill after this...what a waste.
How many times do we see referees not only screw up games but also the players!
the real me !! i dont see any gutters with empty bottles of vodka ,
or woman with black eyes ,,or unwanted snogs on the railways,,
Had another 30% to give but for his excesses with booze

Paul scholars are you kidding me
Gazza was light years ahead of Scholes in terms of natural talent and skill but Scholes was infinitely more professional and as such made far more contribution for his club and country.
Scholes - For his club yes, for his country not sure about that.
The referee was a prick for sending gazza off it wasn't deliberate
Haha his mum looks like Gazza with a wig.
Danny baker,chris evans,say no more?????????????????????
Where's Danny Baker now? Nowhere to be seen.
The radio! That's why you cannot see him!

No disrespect to Tottenham but Gazza you should have chosen us(Manchester United)Ferguson would not allow the vultures to devour you,if you were with us.wasted at Tottenham with Venables.

Remember this so well, great stuff, although the music was god awful
So much potential wasted.
