Gazza - Italia 90 

I seen him live and he was pure silk on the ball and out and out genius. I'm 45 now born in England of Irish parents and I saw him play at White Hart Lane.. I was blown away at how good he was, even my dad who hates soccer being Irish, his face went white as a ghost whilst watching him. My dad thought he was amazing and that says a lot.

Widmerpool99 I’m fucking crying at that - brilliant 🤣🤣

This just made me spit Beer. Thanks for that laugh mate. So incredibly spot on.

😄

Heed

Ashley Jackson same! I was 12 years old then

He deserted himself first. Still a legend though.

He was a genius pure and simple.. Even the Lazio fans said he was a genius who could breeze past 4 to 5 players and score or make an assist. He was to hyper though which was his downfall but nobodies perfect save God himself.

We loved him, and I still do, unfortunately top top world class stars have some flaws, I loved his cheeky, happy side, he exudeded confidence like all top world class footballers have, as is usually the case our UK media scum called him all sorts back in the day, I think one finally apologised in the paper to stop themselves loosing sales most probably after he made them all eat their words 🤬 long live the legend that is Gaza - still love all these clips

@@michaelbarker1635 Oh, the young fans would have burned the newspaper buildings down if Gazza had died of alcholism. Poor Gazza was basically nuts and needed someone like Fergie to tame him but to be honest I think Alex would have failed. Jimmy five belilies used Paul for all that he had and only helped bring Pau down. I also think if Gazza went to MU he would of won a CL with them. Gazza was all about himself though, he was a greedy bugger on the field and even Liniker said he was weary of Gazza because he knew he liked to keep the ball. I saw Gazza play at Spurs at White Hart Lane and he was outstanding on the field, he jus stood out like s sore thumb. The closest I've seen to him since is Grealish who's another genius but with a better head on his shoulders. T

@@dfstarborn yea I think going to united under alex Ferguson might have helped a little bit, but Im pretty sure the end result would not have been much different unfortunately - Gaza used to cry at the end of a season knowing he had 6 weeks off and might never make it back... and that's early in his career - thankfully now it's a different culture in regards to drink... but they will still probably all struggle in retirement. Top players will admit themselves they are greedy most of the time because they think they will do it better lol but I loved that, their confidence on the pitch gave us fans more confidence lol you remember Southgate walking up instead of Paul Ince 🤣 you could almost hear the nation say Noooooo 😰

he could have been the best in the world but he never was. He's still my favorite player of all time, but the knee injury and going to Italy ruined his chances. Italia 90 tho, there was no better player in the tournament.

Think you are forgetting Carlton Palmer.

Great player but not best in the world at that time there was Diego and emerging from Italy there was a tiny magician known as baggio

Kebab Shawarma ...he was easily on par with Baggio in terms of ability, unfortunaty he had an unpredictable and volatile temproment.

Adam Knight id say technically bagio was superior but Gaza had an immense will to win and the old English warrior spirit to never quit other than best bale and giggs and maybe Stanley Matthews who i was unfortunately never seen any well documented highlights of him he was the only English modern player to dribble with the ball like a South American /Latin style he was a talent to behold but once again it’s more than having talent in order to be an all time legend imagine him and Diego having a proper discipline attitude

Aniak Dulom I think England have a few good players great at running with the ball...just no brains with it. No end product.

never dribbled that whiskey,one shot,back of the neck...

Gazza one neet woz dribblin oot eez arse.

Ever heard of Jimmy Greaves or Sir Stanley Matthews ?

To be fair Rooney was doing similar things in his Everton and early Man Utd days and at Euro 2004 but then he started playing a more simplistic way to fit into teams more tactically rather then show his flair.

If your comparing that bald shrek looking fucker to gazza your deluded

elliot harwood 😂😂😂😂😂👍

Good shout on Matthews for playing style

Gazza was huge at the time, but I know what you mean.. Gazza is the most skilful dribbler of the ball I've ever seen.

Matt Pannell Bloody Fabregas???!!! Did you see some of his ‘performances’ for Chelsea last season?? Walking around at the Emptyhad while De Bruyne and co took the piss. Disgusting.

The fact that you consider fabrigas as top 5 midfielders of all time scares me more.

10 Khalifa joe Cole was another amazing talent injured too much or for some weird reason not picked. Huge wasted talent was joe

scholes did a job. gazza was a rare talent. gazza's the best english player ever. just wish he hadn't got injured... and chose man utd actually. would have been even better there

HAHAHA Joe Cole have a day off

I'm a United fan fergie was sniffing round Joe C. When he made Roy the boy look a tit a couple of times when at West ham. Even sniffed about when he was out of favour at Chels. Naturally the most skillful English player we have seen. Shame Rooney come up just after

Jimmy Greaves was greater

plane15 I'd put glenn hoddle ahead of gazza. Check his videos. Pure class

I knew it was a bad idea to let that drunk play that trombone 😃

komboykomboy he was a solid talented player he was like Bobby Charlton of the 90's

Sadly he was shot to pieces by 1998. Saw him at his peak in 1990. Would literally terrify anyone he’d run at with the ball.

@@stevenchampion8137 he was a new comer player

I'm of Irish parents and Gazza brought me so much joy to the game, an out and out genius on the ball who could breeze past 4 players.. If he had signed for Fergy that time I think Gazza would of reached the heights that he should have.. Still he was amazing and I got to see him play for Spurs a long time ago when I was about 15 and he stood out on the field as everyone looked to him.. I've never seen anyone like him to be honest, he had an aura of confidence on the field that I've never seen.

He got a yellow card which meant if we (England) had beat Germany he would have missed the final.

It was his second yellow of the tournament so if England had beat Germany he would miss the final....We (England) lost on penalties....

@ I love Greavsie, but greatness is not just about goals.

Teapot Gamer actually fkn died at the music 😂

Mark Knopfler might have something to say about that!

some interesting key changes.

Flashbacks of VHS pornos lol

I think its from Mark & Lard's Classic Cuts :P

# a-chris-a-waddeeeell # 😂

All England managers were pricks with their choices. Back then if a huge player wasn’t on a huge team they didn’t get picked. Nowadays I’ve never heard of half the England line up!!!

Le Tissier was a very talented player but at times very lazy, in my opinion..

74Chalkydj Regardless of being lazy he was capable often of pure genius that's all that matters.

The fact le Tissier yawned in a game probably put managers off 😂😂😂. Still a superb talent though.

@Bobby Dukes Let CR7 train the '80s way and play on an '80s pitch with '80s laws of the game. I bet he won't look so impressive.

Andrea Salvia Haha!! Spot on...nothing worse than two dying AAs in your Walkman

David McMullan Gazza is so beautiful to watch he was better then Matthaus, he was like Maradona of 86

Absolutely agree, and like Joe Cole should have been.

Gazza was on a different scale to Moore. Moore was solid class. Gazza was outrageous class.

Charlton was the standout player of the 1966 world cup winning side, although Moore is a close second.

and when i say charlton I mean bobby

well, you never know exactly what goes on in a marriage. Stick his on-field performance, which was genius

steve green What red card?..

for a very short time i believe he was better than messi ever reached. when you think of his lifestyle, drinker, smoker. and he could still do what he did. imagine a gazza with the work ethics of CR7 would have been immense

chris parker, which 'very short time'??

Rodney Marsh.

Going home - mark knopfler

@@jevsingh4090 You legend thank you.

Winning more titles for sure

It was

I lived in next road to Gaza in Hertfordshire. The press wouldn't leave him alone. Followed him everywhere and sat outside his house just encouraging him to do something stupid or newsworthy. Better for him at Lazio

Jimmy Greaves was greater
