Popular Post Rogstanley Posted 15 January 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 15 January 2018 My favourite Gazza moment will always be when he rocked up to the Raoul Moat standoff with a few cans, some roast chicken and a couple of fishing rods thinking he was going to save the day. You can't write that stuff. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacamion Posted 15 January 2018 Share Posted 15 January 2018 Raoul Moat, doing his leg at Wembley against F*rest, Italia 90, troubled personal life, nights on the randan in the 90s with Chris Evans and Danny Baker, alcoholism, ill health. That's before you get to the way that at his peak , he could brush off a challenge and do something magical. And he scored THAT goal against Scotland which sent me wild with celebration. For us up here, THAT goal aside, he is remembered with awe for being the subject of a dressing room wind-up which goaded him into miming "the flute" in front of the Celtic fans during an Old Firm game, with resultant death threats. Having said that, I think even a few Celtic fans now recognise that he is an exceptional person and would probably buy him a pint. He's led some life. In fact, he's packed more into one life than about 8 normal footballers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cujek Posted 16 January 2018 Share Posted 16 January 2018 love Gazza, Still have a t shirt from 1990 with him crying on it! I was in France with my parents for that semi final, as a 10 year old it shaped my life and cemented my love of football, Gazza will always be a hero of mine.

Raw Dykes Posted 16 January 2018 Share Posted 16 January 2018 They were just talking about Vardy on Talksport. Asking why no clubs are bidding for him, and mostly talking about Spurs. Why the **** would Vardy want to take a pay cut to sit on the bench at a club who never win anything? Ridiculous. One of the presenters reckons Leicester would definitely accept a bid of £30m! I know they try to wind people up, but aren't they at all worried about their credibility? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funniest part was when they went on about how we didn’t have a single shot on goal against Fleetwood and didn’t mention the fact we changed our whole team..

Yeah!! They asked whether we were a one man team because of that match when Vardy didn't play. Nevermind the rest of the 1st team that didn't play, then.

Sir Shep Posted 21 January 2018 Share Posted 21 January 2018 Gaza definitely my favourite non Leicester player there’s ever been, so glad to see him smiling, was at Walshies testimony and what a player even in the friendly and there were a few decent players out there.

Nalis Posted 21 January 2018 Share Posted 21 January 2018 I'm not going to lie, as someone from the Catholic community growing up in Northern Ireland in the 90s in a predominantly unionist town, I couldnt stand Gazza, particularly as he played for Rangers and England. Also, about every other person my age would have that stupid bleach blonde hairstyle. But it was only was I got older that I appreciated what a magnificent player he was on the pitch whilst growing sympathy for him off the pitch given his issues with alcohol and the hounding of him by the press. I think he wouldnt have been the player he was if he didnt have the personality he had though. For example, he always did things his way so he probably didnt listen to coaches much meaning any of his unorthodox pieces of skill werent trained out of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted 21 January 2018 Share Posted 21 January 2018 A nice juxtaposition with Gascoigne, a man convicted of threatening or abusive words or behaviour where the judge and guilty of insidious racism, and a minutes applause for a man truly dignified in the face such behaviour. I know who I would have preferred to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the greater football fraternity have the great love- in for JV as many on here. They see him for what he is and for the most part, a 30m value is being generous I feel! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
