Simon79 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Saw some old clips of him recently, WHAT A PLAYER he was. Heard a story from Ally Mcoist recently, about Gazza playing against Celtic & getting a bollocking from Walter Smith at half time at Parkhead. To only then disappear & make his way up to the directors lounge to have half a pint. To then come out & put on a MOM performance! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS15_RED Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Met him at Collectomania a few years back, absolute hero from Italia 90. Oh for England to have a player that good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Went to Italia 90. Was watching England a lot in the 90s. He is the only English player I have seen who I can honestly say mesmerised me when I was watching football. The guy was on a completely different planet than anyone else - in football terms. Love you Gazza! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Met him at a very quiet Newcastle airport two nights after the Sunderland game this season - he was with someone, think it was his daughter. Bloke was a class act, smartly dressed, said hello to everyone, full of life - looked nothing like the character the tabloid press make him out to be.

Love you Gazza! This. Troubled life but an utter genius as a footballer. No English player has played better at a major tournament than him since Bobby Charlton in 1966. In my opinion only second only to him as an English footballer in my entire lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Had the pleasure of encountering Gaza numerous times at Englands training ground in Sardinia in Italia 90(Absolutely brilliant with every fan) and then met him when Ch 4 were filming a documentary / coaching class for kids at Wembley - He was brilliant , couldn’t have been better with the kids and spent hours in the evening with the kids playing games / cards A footballing genius and a lovely fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't even need a relapse...remember the plea from his sister to the press to leave him alone.

I hate all the tabloid junk him and don't think it's necessary to see a chap like him when he's down. That Gazza goal is definitely my favourite ever… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I saw him down in Broadsands (is that what it's called?) summer before last, just out on a Sunday morning, walking his dog in the sun. Spoke to everyone I was so gobsmacked it was him, came over all starstruck and couldn't bring myself to go over and say hello, even though it was obvious he wouldn't have objected An absolute gem of a player. If there's one bloke I wish nothing but health and happiness to it's Gazza, those memories of being 17 in 1990 will live with me forever God bless the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Another one Mcoist tells of Gazza, is when they use to stay in a hotel, the night before the game. Mcoist was sharing a room with another player ( can’t remember his name), when he woke at about 4 or 5am, to look at the other player looking a bit lost staring at him. To then look up & find Gazza sat on the end of his bed playing a console I think it was. To then say “ Gazza what you doing? It’s 5 in the morning!”. Then Gazza replies something along the lines of “ I was lonely & needed some company!”. He had gone to the hotel reception & asked for Mcoist’s key! Mcoist instructed every other hotel after that to not give Gazza a key. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
