What a complication!

 

 

What a talent, he wasn’t the quickest but didn’t need to be because his brain was so quick which was tied to his feet in unison, a genuinely two footed player too!

Sorry for the bump, I know everyone fears the worst whenever it happens, but this is class.

More power in that than a Miggy toe-punt!

 

Remember his free kick (?) for us that rattled round the goal stanchion. Unstoppable

Hard to believe he's still only mid-50s :(

 

When I last saw him talking on camera, he could barely string a coherent sentence together. His brain must be pickled sadly

I feel bad because he's such a complicated person. The years of drink and drugs have clearly messed him up. At the same time, any enjoyment of his ability is coloured by a horrific personal life and domestic abuse. I then heard his childhood and it sounded bordering on barbaric and like it would fuck anyone up. 

 

In the stasis of a football field he's perfection, outside of those lines it's chaos.

Decent 2–parter doc on BBC iplayer about him, he was/is one fucked up individual, not helped at all by anyone around him. Paul Stewart came across as very caring. Some decent old footage of SJP and the Toon.

Watched it yesterday - the manipulation in some way by almost every person in his life was horrible. From his mates taking advantage of going on the piss, to his PA in Italy, media lizards Morgan and Wade, Cheryl selling stories, Mel Stein, Baker, Evans - cunts the lot of them.

Aye they were all basically leeches, even his wife. She didn’t deserve the abuse and beatings Gazza dished out to her and he deserves zero sympathy at all on that front, but the fact she still kept his name tells you everything about her. She was a snide too and sold tories to the media and would let them know when Gazza was at some pub or club. The media were scummier then than they are today. In Italia 90 they were paying England fans to trash places and throw stuff at the police and rival fans, they did the same in France ‘98.
