What the fuck was Hoddle thinking not taking him to France 98, even if past his best he was still better than everyone else, bar maybe Shearer.

Scholes? Owen? Beckham? 

All of those were playing better than him.

@PaulMcCarthy66: Gordon Strachan won @theofficialfwa Footballer of the Year that season. Still not quite sure how Gazza missed out TBF.

 

Gazza probably missed out because he basically only played in cup games in the second half of that season and Strachan played nearly 50 times in all comps. Also Leeds finished 4th and Spurs midtable.

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.
