I'm a Geordie and a Newcastle united fan all my life and to me Gascoigne was an English Maradonna, he loved his football and loved his country, even though he went to play for Rangers and Lazio, he'll always be an English legend to me. If it wasn't for his drink and drug problems who knows what he could have achieved but that Euro 96 goal against Scotland was legendary.
First memories of football were 1998, so far to young to remember Gazza. I just watched his China documetary. I remember Paul going to China, and him managing Boston. He comes back, is spending time with his kids, with his partner - he says fly fishing relaxes him, but also says how he's scattering his ashes over St. James'. The people around him have earned, and the press - still are voltures in 2024. If Gazza walks past a pub in Gateshead, there will be a story on Daily Mail within an hour. Gazza would have been playing for Guardiola or Barcelona. The crap about Fergie wanting to save him - look at pre 1998 Keane, Ferdinand and how Giggs turned out,
Loved gazza but he was nowhere near diego level,world cups,league wins with a mediocre team before he went there,what diego down could never be done again
@@PaulBaksy I agree he wasn't the same level as Maradonna but he was like an English version of a Maradonna type player. Who else would you compare him too?
@@MrPaulb1982 I wouldn't compare gazza to any other BRITISH player,guy just oozed confidence and on his game he was next level,no other British player had that type of confidence on the ball probably ever.the diffrence between diego and gazza and why there's no comparison,diego thrived on preassure and gazza folded under it,if gazza had a sort of diego mindset he would have took spurs and England at that time to league and world cups thats how good I thought gazza was
As a player it speakes for it self but as a person you have got to love the man, always true and never changed from the boy he was growing up in dunston
Whatever you say about Gascoigne, he wasn't short of a personality, for good, or for ill.....look at the PR drones we have today, I mean Jordan Henderson ffs...same part of the world....
I will never forget him doing the flute and Ian Ferguson was not a fan of Catholics Im a Dundee United fan and Paul sometimes didn't think and Ferguson should have not have told him about the flute. Jim McLean would have read him the riot act. He's a nice man sadly used and taken advantage of by so called friends and family.
A genius, best Englishman I see play the game. Sure he had his flaws but also had his dark moments. You can see it in his face, he knows and of course haunts him, which is sad to see, very emotional. Let us not forget, all he wanted to do was play football, most of all for England which meant more than anything, still to this day...keep well Paul...top top player
Gaza, what a phenomenal player, one of the best I ever watched, also cooper and laudrup, not old enough to have seen Baxter. john greig, connery. Switched off.
Very little to do with drink and drugs and all to do with mental and emotional health, a press and public and team mates that wanted a jester. The guy had a lot of demons, was most probably suffering childhood trauma, definitely on autism spectrum. The English-laddish behaviour, the drinking loutish behaviour surrounding him was his downfall.
Exactly he wasn't a alcoholic or addict just a messed up person! An addict has to drink everyday and wouldn't be able to play football, he was a piss head with mental problems
He gave everything when he played but gave nothing back after he retired and probably had the most to give, experienced, troubled superstar will find peace when he does.. 🙏🏻❤️
What was he supposed to give back and did not? I'm sure he's done loads, more than many. He got a KFC for Raul Moat for goodness sake, what else do you want? 🙄
Biggest signing in scottish football history. Really. I think you'll find the club cheated the taxman with signings and wages. One cracking player but a total clown, still is an arsehole. 😂 karma no more rangers. Sevco now. They are going bust soon as well. 😅
Amazing player that never got to the top of his own capabilities. His own demons and mental health kicked in every time, along with the press buying every story or simply make it up! Would he have been safer in today’s game, or would everything been amplified?
For me without doubt the best football player of England! He was a World Class player,but he destroyed unfortunately himself with the biggest and ugliest enemy of the mankind: The Alcohol!!! He had everything but no determination and willpower to kill the alcohol illness. Gazza chose Rangers and his carrot league to have an easy life with alcohol. In PL it is impossible and you cannot play for a long time. The Alcohol also gave him always injuries! Otherwise he had played for United in the 90's with Cantona and Keane. Gazza was on the pitch like Shakespeare 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
We only saw him at his peak for a few seasons before injury basically finished him, it's clearly evident the guy had mental health issues and I found it uncomfortable viewing watching him attempting to be the wise guy at every interview and the fawning sycophants laughing at his imbecilic behaviour, seen him live once and he played very well albeit against a diddy lower league team however some of his touches were sublime, surrounded by too many yes men as opposed to real friends who should have been there to reel him in everytime he started his pish...a tragic waste of talent..
@@GeoffreyCliff forget the money she was single mother who happened to come across the most famous footballer at the time Money had nothing to do with it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had my family in Glasgow bring this to Canada years ago. I must have watched it 100 times. Thanks gor posting.
That Rangers Adidas gear is absolutely beautiful 🤩
any time I watch footage from the 90s I want so much sideline gear, what an era!
Back when you were avoiding paying your taxes 😂@@sleepwalkusa135
Gascoigne: "You're bigger than I thought!"
Connery: "Always!" (Winks) 😂👍
Connery is a fkin turncoat he used to be up the arse of Celtic players now he's a current bun
What a man. And how lucky we were at Rangers to have had his best years. A genius on the park.
What a player and what a Rangers team around him. Glory days. 🇬🇧
@cycleSCUBA we took those days for granted mate.
They weren't his best years? He was already obsessed with fame but this time
@dondamon4669 no he wasn't
Never as good after the knee injury in 1991
The hangers on than all disappear when the going gets tough is the biggest lesson here folks..❤

All these years later, I still laughed at that advert. I would have loved him to have played for my club and was gutted he didn’t go to France 98.
Congratulations on being in love with another man Thanks for telling everyone
Thanks for posting, what a character he is, On the second watching now, there's so much you see that is missed on first watch .
As a player it speakes for it self but as a person you have got to love the man, always true and never changed from the boy he was growing up in dunston
Not changing as a person is not a good thing at all
A legend I wish we had more Brits with his charisma. 🇬🇧❤️🌿👍
He had a mentality of a child but was great to watch on the pitch.
An talent,the current British players are all robots scared to lose the ball which stops them doing things other than a square pass
Will never ever forget the day we signed him. Those yeras were unbelievable for Glasgow Rangers 🇬🇧WATP🇬🇧
Then 2012 happened forever in our shadow 🍀
Gazza,larsson,davie cooper and laudrup best players I witnessed play the scottish game from a celtic fan.What special player never one like him again
Can't argue with that tbh. If Celtic had got Lubo when he was younger, then ypu could possibly add him to the list.
Don't forget anton rogan 😂
A Celtic fan gushing over rangers? You sure!!
@@dondamon4669 I'm a hibs fan now seen the light 😂👍🏻
@@PaulBaksyAnton had the best left foot 🦶 in the league back when he was at the Celtic
I really enjoyed this. What a player he was.
Best rangers kit ever

I’m a Celtic man but what an amazing player
Agree 👍 am 42 and seen them win 9 and gazza was a legend
A geordie a scotsman with his heed kicked in lol i used to say newcastle geordies great folk play for Scotland gazza awesome footballer he was.
Are you drunk ?
😂😂😂
See you pal
Love the man 🔴⚪️🔵
Gazza we love you!
What a player! My old man says one of best ranger players he seen play at leith san siro
😆 He was terrific at Rangers indeed.. I'd have given me left nut to have him at my team.. DUFC 😄
*Plough* 🎉
for his flaws trimble was a brave man in pursuit of peace during late 90s
Legend simply the best ❤️⚪🔵
Your simply DEPRESSED 😂

Well spotted
Legend.

Gazza made Rangers fans proud of him.

Too this day he’s still the biggest signing in Scottish football history nothing will ever beat it.
To not too 🙄

Larsson was streets ahead .
@@baillie677away.anyway laudrup was god.
Laudrup and larsson.no way gazza was there level on and off the park
Genius..
absolute legend pride of the north east forget his drinking habits .
Domestic abuse, there’s no excuse
He gave everything when he played but gave nothing back after he retired and probably had the most to give, experienced, troubled superstar will find peace when he does.. 🙏🏻❤️
Gave nothing back? The man has been ill during and after playing.
What a silly comment. What footballer has gave anything back after playing?
What was he supposed to give back and did not? I'm sure he's done loads, more than many.
He got a KFC for Raul Moat for goodness sake, what else do you want? 🙄
@@Surv1ve_Thrive 😂
Celtic supporter type comment
@33:15 that's how to deal with the press ha ha!
his best time was up in glasgae
It was one of his darkest days in terms of football. He should of been playing in a competitive league not Sunday football!
Davie Cooper & Gazza? Yes!
All them Scots cheering an Englishman, who'd of thought it! lol
Daz doorstep challenge 😂😂😂😂

Mers have you still got that gazza shirt 👕
He never stood a chance.
what a n ice guy
Like Pele, Gazza walked away from football.
For me without doubt the best football player of England!
He was a World Class player,but he destroyed unfortunately himself with the biggest and ugliest enemy of the mankind:
The Alcohol!!!
He had everything but no determination and willpower to kill the alcohol illness.

Gazza was on the pitch like Shakespeare 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Smith was absolutely no different to fergie
Rangers players watching Gaelic football on tv 😂😂
It's a shame the way it ended.. Alcohol destroyed the greatest English player ever.. If only Fergie managed him
We only saw him at his peak for a few seasons before injury basically finished him, it's clearly evident the guy had mental health issues and I found it uncomfortable viewing watching him attempting to be the wise guy at every interview and the fawning sycophants laughing at his imbecilic behaviour, seen him live once and he played very well albeit against a diddy lower league team however some of his touches were sublime, surrounded by too many yes men as opposed to real friends who should have been there to reel him in everytime he started his pish...a tragic waste of talent..
he chose rangers because he knew that was his level,he could have signed for english clubs but took the easy way out.
Hahaha, are you mental?
That and Rangers paid £4m cash to Lazio for him. Other offers were different, some loan transfer I think.
He took the best deal available
Yeah probably,he was overweight and lazio where sick of his shit
@@PaulBaksywere you there? You seem to know a lot about it...
O'Keefe Mount
The way the Scottish players were hitting him was a bit to much and bullying
He found love with a genuine lady She loved him so much
Especially when he had money.
@@GeoffreyCliff forget the money she was single mother who happened to come across the most famous footballer at the time Money had nothing to do with it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She was motivated by money… no doubt
You think a stunner would look twice at gazza with his obvious problems if he worked in a coal mine?? Wake up ffs
@@derektrotter4287 WHAT IF HE OWNED A GOLD MINE Tiger Woods ex wife thought so 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If only they knew what would happen in 2012 😂
These Scottish people were being so horrible to him and on camera!! The old man asking about sherulyl being pregnant! What a prat
Great player but could have been even better but drink and the people he hung around with was is downfall
she rinsed him and hung him out to dry
This would be enjoyable if they spoke English.
Hey guys, what is your favorite color? Mine is gray
No one cares.
Grey is a magnificent color. A lovely choice for favorite. Well done.
Imo he played some of his best football at Rangers, WATP 🇬🇧👍

@@denzel1989 well they never did…
Anyone could play in the Scottish league
Went to rangers because he wasn't fit enough to play at the top level in the premiership..overhyped..
"the press won't leave us alone" whilst doing a documentary 😂 such a attention seeker and drama queen! I think he probably is not straight?
Rangers 🤮 Celtic Championees are we are we are we 😊
And talk about a tacky wedding, the outfits were awful
Unfulfilled career. Such a shame.
jimmy 5 bellys at the end lol
Oxygen thief
Good player but a tosser
Celtic is not a catholic clubb ni need to tar ys
They are a disgusting club! And should be banned or at least not allowed kids
Lineker was a weasel back then..
Always was
No, he cared a lot about Gazza, tried his best to help him
Just back then?😊
Totally overrated player
Just like a little boy. Quite sad really.
Bet your the life and soul at a party the bloke was magic
@@alanbarton4793 A boy.
