[@AthelstanEngland]

Not just the audacity, but the power and accuracy!! Gazza up there with George Best with a nod to Matt Le Tissier as the best these islands have produced. Entertainment value 11 out of 10.

[@TheDimitrios]

Le Tissier, what a player, some of the best free kicks I’ve ever seen.

[@ArsonHall]

Not even close to Best but still extremely good and class player

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Not only that but a pretty altruistic individual too. He helped my partially sighted father carry his luggage off the train they were alighting at Newcastle Central. My Dad here's this voice "Can I help you with your case Mister?" cos Paul had seen him with dark glasses & a cane & the station assistant hadn't arrived yet. This was only about 4 or 5 years ago, Gazza had long since retired & obviously had been treated, so just shows what a humble lad he is, aware of those who are also vulnerable themselves.

[@TheDimitrios]

@@ArsonHall I’d say attitude and stylistically very similar to Best, maybe Best understood tactics a little better, but both very similar towards how they enjoyed their footballing years, both cut it far too short, shame.

[@TheHungryTrollRawr]

Glad you mentioned Le Tiss, finally a fan who knows what he's talking about! HELL of a player

[@ticianocostajordao8409]

I am also a United fan and Gaza was a player that Alex Ferguson always dreamed about of having in his squad. Gaza was a legend and in my opinion, one of the most talented footballers UK ever produced.

[@qwanathomas735]

Yep up there with the world's best

[@TheDimitrios]

I agree apart from your terminology, nowadays players are ‘produced’, as you said, Gascoigne was most definitely not, he was naturally talented, a product of environment. Again, I know there in a different league, but same as Maradona, supremely naturally gifted with a skill set that I haven’t seen matched to this day.

He never wasted it because he had no control over his addictions and OCD. In fact, it's remarkable he got as far as he did given these handicaps. Met him once in Ranelagh, Dublin. Came over to us lads hanging out, chatted, took a swig out of one of our 2-litres of cider. Special guy, I liked him, even though he went to Rangers.
