Gascoigne: The Gazza documentary

[I Black Belt]

Watched this on popcorn time.
Very moving and very funny and extremely well put together (or so I thought)
well worth a watch if you remember Gazza in his prime. Shocking to see him now though

I thought it was superb mate. Sectioned for being paranoid and then it turns out his phone was hacked for eleven years. Didn't mention him hitting his missus but did go into a decent level of detail about him playing the flute doing the sash my father wore.

Bad how his younger brother died. Would never leave your thoughts.

The Paul Gascoigne - Raoul Moat scenario made me laugh ( Not from the documentary )

He even fell out with his family for a bit, because he thought they were selling stories to the papers. Turns out his phone was being hacked all along. Tabloids got a lot to answer for!!

Cheers for this never knew about it, love my football and remember gazza in his prime, totally outstanding, and this from a Scotsman who should hate him for that euro 96 goal, but even I can acknowledge what a piece of skill that was , if Messi scored that today it would be getting raved about. Shame to think he only ever played at 1 world cup and how that ended for him. Great talent and many happy memories watching him play, particularly at euro 96 , remember him just missing a cross against Germany in the semi final, so close longer studs and it would have been a tap in. Im sure in a game for rangers the ref dropped his cards, Gazza picked them up and showed the ref the yellow card in jest , unbelievably the ref then really booked Gazza for doing this, lol

Beans on toast - was it not his mates younger brother that died, either way pretty horrible for him and then for his nephew to die after a piece Gazza had done for NOTW regarding sports and asthma.

Saw Gascoigne play a few times. He could have been in the top 5 European players of all time if injuries hadn't have fucked him over. I'm pretty sure the Premier League was built on the back of his popularity after Italia '90.

Been a Spurs fan he's a hero of mine and a true legend.
A really talented & gifted player that had the world at his feet but couldn't help himself when he hit the dark lows of his life.
A little protection from the media at the end of his career and he would have made a perfect pundit for sky sports on a Saturday afternoon.
Really looking forward to seeing this!!

Gazza was a fantastic talent and a character there's none of them left in the game now its so straight laced.
