remember his hattrick agains Derby - two 30 yard freekicks past shilton.
or when Utd came to WHL in 90 and we shat all over them (beat them 3 times that season) and Gazza scored a classy goal.
or him taking the piss out of two Luton town CBs at Keniworth Rd, skipping between them and slotting past the keeper on the shit plastic pitch.

I was at that game and remember Shilton being mugged off by those free kicks, got nowhere near them. Any idea what year that was?
90-91 season I think
If I remember correctly just before KO of that Derby game Gazza was doing a John Cleese style funny walk/run behind one of the linesman, all the other players were warming up and getting into position. Sums him up really, genius but an absolute joker. Love the guy and one of my favourite ever spurs and england payers but I fear he is beyond help. As eluded to by other people there's only one person that can really get him back on his feet, that's himself.
You absolute twit.... now i understand what the sin bin button is for.
to be fair to your 'to be fair' comment, I really do like Danny Baker, it's just unfortunately, there aren't many photos from the 'heady' '90s of Gazza & Chris Evans without him somewhere in shot!!
I think Bobby Robson's 'daft as a brush' comment merely papered over the cracks... it could arguably have done Gascoigne more harm than good in the long run, as most of Gazza's 'antics' were written off as innocent high-jinks and harmless fun from someone not taking life too seriously... rather than the actions of a very troubled young man, desperately craving love and attention, and whose outlook on life was probably the complete opposite of his outward demeanour....
Why drag Hamas into this? Defending/attacking* (delete as per political view) the might of the Israeli army keeps them on their toes enough as it is
They should all just keep out of the Middle-North-East IMHO!
I fully understand people having completely differing views on this, but I don't think that is fair to say (particularly when others have agreed).
He has to take responsibility. He had a great football career, and had opportunities that hundreds of millions of people would kill for - and he's pissed it all away.
It's a shame, don't get me wrong - but I don't feel any sympathy for the bloke.
Another clutch of innocent Palestinians dead in Gaza - but poor Gazza makes the front pages.
I heard Sunday he is allergic to botox, hence why his boat looks so f**ked up.
Don't know how true that is

It's at the point now where he's had all the help & rehab he could ever hope to receive (for his alcoholism anyway) - often paid for from the pockets of others. There's nothing more he can do than save himself, himself. Sad but true.
Man, I loved Gazza as a kid. I think I still have my 'homework diary' from school which is filled with match reports rather than actual homework information and plenty of those are given over to the genius of the man.
However, I'm in total agreement that Gazza is simply addicted to self-destruction and that's not suprising. As a player he loved the adulation of the crowd and his peers, and outside of his playing career it's only those times when he's almost killed himself that the media and fans give him that adulation again. Funnily enough I've just heard again from a former best friend of mine that I haven't spoken to for 10 years because it was clear he was using me as an emotional crutch for his own destructive behaviour.
Gazza doesn't need the love of the masses, he needs to be treated like a member of the public if he's to make anything of the rest of his life.

I don't see how anyone who was present while he was drinking, can be considered a 'pal'.
I remembered him signing for us over Man U. All time high.
I remember going to that game, it was the time that away fans were banned, but loads of us still managed to get in. And boy, was that goal worth it!
