Walter delivered what he offered the guy and Gazza to this day loves and respects him, one of his favourite after dinner memories of football was his first Christmas dinner round the smiths house, not sure if Walters wife remembers it as fondly ?

Sparkle 53,587 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Every time someone starts a thread titled 'Gascoigne' I fear the worst. Good to see him well. For me Laudrup was the best footballer I've seen for us, but Gazza and his flawed but irresistible personality.... - against Aberdeen gave me one of the best days I've ever had supporting Rangers, a one man wrecking machine.

Me too I must admit, hard to argue which of the two was better, as Brian gave us so many magic moments, for me it's Gazza just for the pure fact he done the unexpected and made it look simple, pure genius quality, but the fact we got to see them both in the same team is a memory that I'll treasure forever, and a midfield not one team in Europe could honestly say that had better at that point. It was amazing watching teams try and put 2/3 players on Laudrup only for Gazza to run riot or the exact same in revers.

1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 My pride and joy in all my Rangers memorabilia is a picture of Gazza playing the flute signed by the great man himself, authenticated and cost a few quid but worth it, been trying to post a picture on here for about half hour but don't know how to do it on the iPhone in a drunken state lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've seen a video of him discussing this. It's kinda sad cause you can tell he's got a low self esteem and was genuinely touched by Walter inviting him for Xmas dinner.

My daughters despair at my inability to take in what they show me on board, every three months I have to send/import/export? bank statements to our accountant, it does not matter how often they explain it I just glaze over and give them a tenner to do it.

Laudrup still turns up at the stadium regularly, plays in legends games, does the h/t draw (gazza didnt trap for one of them) and does other media/charity activities. Gazza? Only when his book was out did he come up here. Wrankles with me that does........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, that night in Turin would be the last time that Paul John Gascoigne would grace a World Cup match, aged just 23 he would never again appear for England on the highest stage.

Don't think he is ever really in the right state to play football either. Don't think he particularly wants to be at football tbf, turned down going to WHL for the Yids' last game.

Not only that, but other teams tried to hijack the transfer, and Gazza wouldn't listen to the offers his agent had in front of him - as he'd already given Walter his word. It's disgusting what the media did to him. His stepdaughter played on his surname, but they pretty much destroyed any relationship he had with her and his other children; he thought they were the source of the leaks to the press, which worsened his mental state, and he didn't trust the kids when they tried to get him help. The Record can fuck off with their obvious biases, but the Newscorp papers like The Sun aren't any better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennyBlueNose 652 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Saw this on fb, looks like Gazza's winning the battle against his demons just now. Good to see him looking so healthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgowRangers1983 461 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Gazza is my favourite player of all time and I could not wait to meet him a couple of year ago in Motherwell at his audience with gazza. The whole event was a bit of a joke to be honest and not very well set up. We had paid extra for a meet and greet VIP package but all it became was a 2 second picture and then the next person was in straight behind you. It was like a big processing line quick picture , next!! We had taken old Rangers tops to be signed and stuff and his people would not let anything other than 1 picture to be taken by there event team. Shame as we had all really looked forward to seeing him but the event for me was only disappointment. hope the new event will be set up better for fans sake as the last one was rotten.
