The chosen one....Never be another....Seen him do things at Benwell in training that no-one has ever done...How on earth some people think Scholes was better than Gazza is absolutely beyond me....And don't mention consistency or longevity...I'm talking about sheer unadulterated ability....DAM was the greatest player that ever lived..followed by the chosen one...
Consider he was already a totally lost alcoholic already when playing for Lazio.... famously he was caught by Lazio staff drinking vodka and orange juice disguised inside a Gatorade plastic bottle DURING TRAININGS... how the fuck can you run and train in a professional sport while downing hard alcohol in Rome's mid season heat??
I know he was at rangers and lazio, was middlesbourgh his first premier club, when at spurs and newcastle was that before premier era, seeing jis first pl in 98 seems bit late
He was a magnificent player at all his club's, wish he had played for my club Leeds he could have played a few more seasons at the top of it wasn't for alcoholism and injuries.
@@jeremywentworth1833 I believe he once said he has a liking for Leeds and would have liked to play for them. He may even have been approached by Leeds at one point during the 1990s - can't recall the details exactly.
The premier league started in 1992 he played long before that for 1984-1988 Newcastle United 1988-1992 Tottenham Hotspur 1992-1995 Lazio 1995-1998 Rangers Then played for 2 premier league clubs in his older years Middlesbrough and Everton.
Cheers. Legendary player.

Can't believe he missed 3 PL games for Boro because he'd had to go into rehab. Then came straight back in to the team and scored in a 4-0 win.

His legs had gone by that time
wasn't his legs that went
And he was a stone or two overweight

It was like a oil painting just stand and watch it Gaza would be like cheeky prick haha 😂
Imagine how good he’d have been if he wasn’t half drunk all the time.
Paul Ince as a number 9????
Wow, five goals. Hype job.
The very tail-end of a career cut short by injuries, alcoholism and mental health struggles.
Don’t think he was that much of a hype job if Ferguson was dying to sign him. pretty sure he has a keen eye for talent.

So overrated. Talented yes absolutely, but outside of the UK, do you think Gazza comes into conversations when top players are discussed?
At Lazio he is a hero. You're obviously a Gen Z
We invented the game
He was a proper footballer
At least spell his name right ffs… Come on !!!
