Happy birthday, Gazza.
Amid all the lurid, opportunistic tabloid headlines and punchlines, it’s easy to forget that Paul Gascoigne was arguably the most gifted English footballer in history.
Actually, fuck it, there’s no ‘arguably’ about it – he WAS the most the gifted English footballer in history.
Gazza turns 50 on Saturday, and this compilation from BigSport shows him banging them in for Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers, Everton and England and every single strike is more incredible than the one that went before it.
We all know the FA Cup semi-final free-kick against Arsenal and THAT cracker for England against Scotland in Euro ’96, but there are arguably better goals among these.
Swoon.
