Gazza - Pretty sad.


Recommended Posts

No probs sir, I got the pedantic bug from a few posters on here :thup: But I remember the game well, watching it with a big group of mates and even 1 or 2 of them applauded saying that was unbeliveable.

 

Debate on BBC now about the best ever England player, Gazza mentioned a few times. He is up there with Charlton and Moore for me, for ability alone he wins, he just didnt play enough games. 57 caps should have been 87. If they had him around 92-94 and playing like he did at WC 90 and Euro 96 then it wouldnt be a debate who was the best.

 

I'm usually of the pedantic nature, so always irks a little when I get pulled up! ;) England's best ever player, that's such a tough one. Gazza certainly up there, but can't discount the likes of Linekar either. Older players always seem to be more thought of in these polls, the old nostalgia trip I suppose, but also the likes of Beckham and Ashley Cole of recent times have been among the best players in the world for their positions. Difficult to call!

Probably my favourite memory of Gazza in a Rangers jersey was standing in the shed at Firhill as he proceeded to take the complete piss out of Thistle's Billy McDonald. I'm sure many people will remember the incident when McDonald completely lost the plot and was chasing after anyone in a Rangers jersey looking for retribution. As he ran to take a wild kick, Gazza simply nutmegged him and then bent over to stick his arse at McDonald who was red carded for the lunge at fresh air! Absolute genius. Shows how far our standards have fallen, can't help but feel that in Ian Black we almost now have our own Billy McDonald! One thing is for sure, we certainly don't have anything like Gazza.

 

Billy actually drives our Rangers supports bus now. He is always late but like his tackling :)
