Paul Gascoigne September 1990

Wogan was a British television chat show that was broadcast on BBC1 from 1982 until 1992, presented by Terry Wogan.

Sir Bobby charlton - Am I a joke to you??

[@tipsterflipster1144]

How??? the best team he played for was spurs lol

[@grahameheatlie2640]

5mins he said he wasn't sleeping well and everyone laughed as if he meant he'd been partying, but we now know he suffered anxiety and insomnia, so he meant it genuinely, not as a joke. As well as a world class footballer he's a world class human being with a heart of gold. he's never played for the team or country I support and I am still a massive fan of him as a player and a person.

[@Sarahw1971]

He was left traumatized by witnessing his friends little brother knocked down by a car and he died in Gazza’s arms - he was only about 10years old when it happened

[@firestarter1888]

Yes lovely fella who beat his wife up

[@VillaBoys123]

Heart of gold. Except for all the beatings he gave his wife. The drugs. The absent father. Heart of gold man!!!

[@SagaciousFrank]

Regarding his sleep, I think he said he apparently played one of his best matches after knocking a ton of sleeping pills back, got up the next day for the match, played brilliantly, went home, fell asleep, and barely remembered any of it. 😂

[@SagaciousFrank]

​​@@VillaBoys123, he's not an evil man though. A wife beater and being an absent father (the latter of which is now sadly very common and accepted) are obviously not commendable nor to be condoned, but alas the booze and the drugs will bring the worst out of even a gentle, genial chap like Gazza when drunk and drugged up. He made his own choices, but he's clearly quite a troubled man.

[@JTPF7604]

In his very next game vs Derby, Saturday 8th September 1990, he scored a hat-trick. What a player.

[@razz0rric106]

Terry Wogan had a lovely friendly sincere manner ..... top guy

[@SagaciousFrank]

He was a class act Terry Wogan.

[@rafflesxyz4800]

Very prophetic what Terry was saying. Poor Gazza if only he could have seen what was coming. That tackle one year later and his injury in the cup final. Being dropped by Glenn Hoddle for the 1998 WC finals in France, then down hill......

[@sensational_cellar8606]

I was so annoyed that twat Hoddle left him out, just to make a point. He even took the piss out of Becks during training. Stupid egomaniac Hoddle.

[@ljd8557]

Its like Wogan knew what was to come for Gazza

[@goatofficials7082]

Agree f the paps

[@JR-pm1ht]

Great to see Gazza like this. He was my idol growing up (i'm 35 now). Such a shame how he spiralled to the lows he did. I often think to myself if I could turn back time and change one thing in football, it'd be that tackle on Gary Charles. He'd have been the best player of that decade/generation easily, maybe ever.

[@robertpollock1986]

Wogan is acting like a father to Gazza lovely to see

[@RogerYeahmon]

Paul Gascoigne was royalty at this point..

[@unlimitedauthor4354]

Its funny to think such a massive talent played only one world cup.He made me love England and soccer. Wish you a quick overcoming of your demons Gazza. Football misses you.

[@mojopin70]

He would've played 1994 U.S.A but thanks to Graham Turnip head Taylor we didn't qualify even Ireland managed to qualify!

[@del7538]

@@mojopin70 Broke his leg at Lazio in early 94 so he would have missed it just like Euro 92.

[@SagaciousFrank]

He clearly buzzed off it while on the pitch as he loved the sport, but I admire how he genuinely didn't care for the limelight off the pitch.

[@woofdog1525]

His troubles with drugs.alcohol & mental health all stem from some deep rooted trauma. I know his friend died when he was young etc.I think fame,money & football accentuated everything. The way the msm hounded & slandered him for 20/30 years just to make money is truly abhorrent. Unfortunately there are a lot of vultures out there and they saw Gazza as east prey because he was so naive & vulnerable. I remember watching Gazza playing on the tv when I was a kid.He was a special talent,so exciting with such natural ability.

England should’ve won it in the 90’s. Would’ve made a fantastic story and have made football history better.

[@insolentnik495]

Awww bless him man.

[@atomictrax]

back then we would have laughed along perhaps...pleased that today we recognise the moment where red flags are raised with relation to mental health issues...just hope people then take action and intervene more than even the most astute observers would have done back then...if that makes sense? Love u Gazza!

[@SpursFanJohn]

Football in england changed after italia 90, it became fashionable to support a football team, it was a catalyst in the launching of the premier league

[@andycarmichael6276]

Gazza was one of the greatest footy players ever cos he didn't need to be coached. Natural, natural ability.

So sad watching this with the benefit of hindsight, when you know how it turned out for him.

[@andykod77]

Shame he only ever got to the one world cup

[@olayinkaamara385]

Gazza was at his absolute peak at this point of his career just after the World Cup.

[@gazof-the-north1980]

A terrific player with talent but never fulfilled his full potential. He lost a bit of his magic after breaking his leg in the 1991 Cup Final. He was loved by the Lazio fans, he played some good football at Glasgow Rangers but was lucky not to get hurt or worse when he was taunting the Celtic fans with the flute gestures. His goal against Scotland at Euro 96 was superb and is still talked about today. Sadly he had his problems and this began to become heavy baggage for him. Glen Hoddle was *RIGHT* not to take him to France 98 IMHO. He wasnt the player in 98 that he was in 90 and his silly bugger antics were not what you want during a world cup.. Completely stupid when he jumped into the drivers seat of the Middlesborough team bus (after the driver went to the loo and left the engine running) and drove it round the yard, scraping it badly down a gate and causing 12 or 13K of damage.

good to see he is back on the recovery and the up, good luck gazza.

[@scottpeters2796]

I met Gazza when he was in rehab but went out on a bender at the Engine in Henlow. He knew then that he would never battle the drink . However I've never met someone who could triple my pints and still feel like he could tell a joke and a story. The sad thing is you could see in his eyes he knew he couldn't turn back. The greatest English footballer of the time and possibly ever . I hope he pulls through. 🙏

[@mojopin70]

Greatest English player of all time.

[@philh8288]

He had it all and somehow lost it.. But just as he was becoming good again, hoddle dropped him for France 98. That finished him altogether Great player 1988/ 91 very good player 96/8
