Embarrassing quote, some of these ex-footballers clearly headed the ball too many times. Was just about to say the same thing. He went to Lazio, where they wanted rid almost as soon as he got there. Other than that he played for Newcastle when the were shit Spurs when they were shit Rangers where he was good (but who wouldn’t be?) Everton when he was shit And a couple of other teams where he could barely get a game. I’m not saying this out of spite, but quite frankly Gascoigne is overrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Gazza play many times he was a great player. Not elite like your Ronaldos etc but deserves all the plaudits he gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad used to say George Best was the best footballer he ever saw. Sadly he won't see Jack reach his peak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 23, 2021 Gascoigne is probably the best English player I've seen, in 1990 I think he was probably the best player in the world. The player that Grealish most reminds me of is Cruyff, the low socks, the sway, the ability to run past people, all of that stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did his knee in the spurs v Forest Cup final, through he own fault, a reckless challenge and after that was never as good. It was massive loss to england and Graham Taylor in the 94 qualification campaign. he also made the mistake of joining Lazio. italian football never suited him.
