compo 6,662 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 What a player always worth the admission money but now he’s getting a little criticism in some of today’s papers for saying he became a tad aroused when he had his arm around the great lady Thatcher, yes a true character sadly a thing missing from today’s game . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,716 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I greatly admired Mrs Thatcher but not to that extent. The great thing about Gazza in addition to his superb footballing skills was his willingness to run and labour for the whole ninety minutes. No flitting in and out of the game for him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A generational talent for sure, Gazza that is ! What a player. That said, when thinking about Gazza it still saddens me how Scotland lost their own generational talent in Durrant, and most of Scotland very weirdly celebrates the fact. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malangsob 1,264 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I watched a documentary on him last week. Great footballer. Tragic character flaws. As a person he reminds me a lot of Mickie Mantle. At one point the best in the world at his sport, bum knees, alcoholism, the press...money wasted...lost. So many of these guys are just used up. Sad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 A fabulous footballer but a sad and pitiful person who wouldn't have received a fraction of the tolerance afforded him had it not been for his football fame. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
