Billythebear77 10,386 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 28 minutes ago, GOAT said: Who else dyed their hair blonde? one of my favourite memories of Gazza is the 1996 league cup final. 2-0 up, then gazza and mccoist had a wee set to on the pitch after hearts pulled got back in the game. Apparently they nearly came to blows at half time and Smith pinned Gazza up against the dressing room door and told him to go and get a brandy. He came out and scored two fucking belters and won us the cup. i seen the day he's said he's winning his battle, I hate to say it but I've heard it all before and I'm sure it won't be long until he's in the papers for the wrong reasons again. Still I pray I'm wrong, but I'll always remember him for his playing days, not his alky days. Hero. I watched that game whilst in the army, I was stationed in Dorset, me and another couple of bears watched it in the NAAFI, scenes in the 2nd half after he scored,doing the bouncy about the place...cunts watching thought we were off our nuts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first sentence in the chapter about joining us is how he fell in love with the club instantly. I lived in South Shields when he was getting big and he was never left alone. In Glasgow he actually got to have a private life. I met him and he was warm and funny, he loved it here as much as we loved him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 35,403 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Great read that . Iirc , did Gazza not have his own bed in one of the city centre pubs ? The Stepps Bar maybe . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Don't remember where I heard it (maybe Ally spoke about it ) that Gazza hid a couple of fish in Duries car and it was stinking for weeks , imagine players trying that these days , straight on twitter , saying that could ye imaging Gazza having a mobile phone and all the social media in his playing days , would be mental Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the the daily rebel superimposeing his picture wearing the No.8 Rangers jersey. All the bheasts in our canteen giving it "no fucking chance". ..... a week later he's getting introduced to the fans at the front door of Ibrox in the sunshine wearing the same jersey......fucking brilliant days indeed.

Moody Blue Legend 63,399 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Don't think I'll ever see class like that in a Rangers jersey again. Loved almost every minute of it, apart from when he went flying in to tackle . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The touch and control of Laudrup and Gazza is incredible especially on the horrendous pitch. I'm afraid we'll never see their like again in a Gers strip.

murzo 7,449 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Was there not a time when that prick gerry mcnee would only call him number 8, had Gazza booted a couple of balls his direction in the press box while training on an away European game. Only one of them was qualified to do there job and it wasn't the bitter hack. Absolute quality on the park and loved the adoration he got. To do with Laudrup, knew a guy at the time who played and he said it was like he was on a magic carpet the way he ran with the ball and went past players.
