Gazza has to be added to the list of people who seem to show that the most gifted humans are often also the most tortured. True geniuses are also truly cursed. He was a phenomenal player.
Tortured? He beat his partner. Turned to drink and drugs because he wasnt ever able to reach his potential. People easily forget how much or a scumbag he is because he can kick a ball.
Lineker's got two seperate events mixed together. Gazza did take a penalty in 5-0 win over Hartlepool to get a hat-trick (in fact he scored 4 in that game) but he took that penalty normally. The rabona penalty was a game against Northern Ireland xl in Danny Blanchflower’s Testimonial in the same season. Both penalties can be seen on UA-cam.
Que grandes jugadores Lineker y Gazza, yo como mexicano vi jugar a Paul Gascoigne y me pongo d pie, q jugador, q clase, q talentl, muy fino, creo q si no hubiera sido por sus excesos, hubiera hecho más. Mi admiración para Gazza.
Gazza wtfffff! Guy was totally nuts All the time but bwoooooy what a player. He would be huge in todays day and age! Seriously a Rabona penalty! Right in the corner
Gazza! What can you say? Genius at times on that field. What a character 👏 👌. Just pure raw talent all of his own. When Walter Smith brought him to Rangers he knew he was loved and showed that when playing. Rangers & Walter was the perfect move for him and that move didn't get the respect it deserved even resurrected his England career. Great guy.
I was at that game and he's right gazza scored 2 and the penalty meant his hatrickLineker scored 1 and had missed a penalty that game. Justin Edinburgh made his debut.
Gazza was such a naturally gifted player, but never really hit the peak of being considered a legendary player on same page as Messi/ Ronaldo/ Pele/ Maradonna/ Zidane. etc - such a shame.
Obviously i wasn't around to see him, but I've seen old footage and words from top player's back in that time. DUNCAN EDWARDS! He was the Best England has produced. George Best even said if he was alive in 1966, he would have walked the England team out as captain at Wembley. Sir Bobby also said he was an unbelievable player he had everything strength all over RIP EDWARDS!!! Although a long time ago don't forget ❤
To think Gazza hardly trained compared to the over coached players of today hence why it's such a slow boring passing game. 100 passes to get from point A to B.... and ate whatever he wanted fish & chips, curries etc and drank. Not sure if he smoked or not, I don't think so though. Yet was as good as he was, just imagine if he totally got his act sorted out what a player he'd have been!
Gary Lineker pretends to be a nice man. Ask him about when he was in Derry for a preseason friendly, slapped an 8 year old me in ‘89 and called me a little toe rag because the kit man gave me a spurs keyring. He assumed I stole it but tell me it’s right!!!
What's a 'rabona' ? Ok ok I can figure it's some technique of a pen.kick - but with all the 'going down to penalties' nowadays to settle big games it's not a name that been mentioned 'often'. I just don't remember a commentator mentioning it at the time(s) - that's all.
The skill he had to pull that off but the confidence he had to even try and taking the pen instead of Lineker,spurs were blessed with those 2 like us and henry Bergkamp
@macman975 no man not comparing.just saying that we had a great team witb db10 and th14 and they also had magic in gazza that's undeniable and linekar was top too it's just saying those players to spurs was important and also reminding them of how good henry and Bergkamp were they have many memories of just how good 👍 They had 2 amazing players and still did nothing we had ours and made history and nearly won it all bar the UCL robbery 😉
Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne. The man, the myth the legend, the Genius! The audacity of his football brain, was backed up with the skill, and guile to make him simply unplayable at times! What a pleasure it was watching him play! The true definition of the word ‘Maverick’ There’s only one Paul Gascoigne
I seen a short a few days ago about a guy filming gaza he couldn't believe it was gaza then drunk gaza come up to him and whispers pretty loud can u get any cocaine i can pay... im not one to judge but the guy taking the video didnt have to post that...
Didn't tell us anything we didn't already know. Look at the difference between them physically - Gazza is basically with the body and mind of an 80 year old and doesn't have a pot to piss in.
Foreigners terrified that English talent might actually be because they're English. Tell me if you see Paul Scholes throwing maracas in the air while shrieking "Tequila!"
It seems to date back to 40s Argentina... I had to look it up, but a striker called Ricardo Infante used it and a football magazine coined the term. Infante scored a 35-yarder with it, apparently!
@@MrHenhen5he said it was against Hartlepool. A quick google will show they have only ever played them twice, one being 5-0. You can see the highlights on UA-cam, and the penalty Gazza takes is a normal penalty. So absolute bs made up story 🤣
@@BlueSteel86I’m sure if you’re stupid or ignorant but he said “it MIGHT have been against Hartlepool, I might be wrong” Stop being so angry about something you didn’t even understand kid 😂

Add Alex Higgins to that list

Gazza the most gifted player this country has ever produced
hands down. however, gazzas gift was natural, it wasn't produced.
we won't see that type of gift again, ever.
The goal against the Scots,turned hendry inside out ! Brilliant 👏 👏

The only thing cleaner than that Rabona penalty is Lineker’s Geordie accent 👏
Fact that Gary is .... pretty clear also.

A rabona sounds like some sort of weird sex act lol
To you maybe... What about nutmeg, seal dribbling and flip flap...
Was it a rainbow penalty gary
I see the underachievers have joined the comments section.
Checo must know where the bodies are buried at Red Bull racing, hence the new deal.
To be truly, truly great, I think you have to be a little insane
Foghorn meeks speaking quietly
lot of so called professional footballers with limited ability
Gazza was top tier... and thats coming from a gooner
Gazza was the king of shithousery.
Lineker's Gerordie accent is spot on I think
The skill he had to pull that off but the confidence he had to even try and taking the pen instead of Lineker,spurs were blessed with those 2 like us and henry Bergkamp
Gascoigne and Linekar compared to DB10 and TH14.😂😂

They had 2 amazing players and still did nothing we had ours and made history and nearly won it all bar the UCL robbery 😉
Is he related to Father Gascoigne?
Love Lamela tebona against Arsenal
Gazza Legend
Gazza was a Ronaldo Messi before their time,… honestly think without the demons he was better imo
Nah, not that level.
It was a testimonial he did it on . Video on you tube
Gazza was the king 👑

What a player! The best! 8
I'm imagine Paul Gasgoine hadn't had that knee injury. He was still a great player afterwards but even so.
GAZZA top G . WATP
Can't stand Lineker 🤬
Can’t stand this guy
Rabona 😮
Footballs GOAT 💯
Foden couldn't do that
Wtf is a rabona ?
Imagine Gazza playing in todays game, he'd have cleaned up. What a player he was. One of our best ever.
Ally McCoist told the exact same story years ago when Gazza played for Rangers
Well McCoist was telling lies.....
If only Gazza hadn't kept injuring himself
Ironically, they'd have made the perfect central midfield pairing; both a had great engines and passing ability. Keane was underrated as such.
When seria A was the bollox gazza was playing for lazio and held it down with his runs, dribbling. A phenom
In the league Cup, 2 legs, I was at both of those games, at Tottenham, then at Hartlepool
A great talent who sadly never reached his full potential
How did he get that much power onto that Rabona????
Keeper wouldn't have saved that even if he guessed the right way, what a penalty
The “Gazza scored a rabona” trophy was made after the game to put in their trophy cabinet 😂
Anyone else had to go Google what a rabona is?? I had no idea whatsoever 😂
My favourite player. I wasn’t a spurs fan either.
In a Danny blanhflower game
Best english midfielder ever.
Love Gazza, my favourite player of all time
No way Gazza knew what a Rabona was 😂
The disrespect hahaha
Didn’t know gazza was welsh
Great impression to be fair.
He is the best player I have ever seen trust me he is
what a player he was. class.
Please get Gazza on the show 😂

what a pen!
What's a Rabona?
If you search for gazza rabona and watch the penalty carefully you'll see. I've got crap eyesight so needed to slow it down to fully catch it
Seen Liniker, scroll quickly on.

CANT STAND lineker ...Hes a 🐍

I wouldn't of believed this if I hadn't seen Lineker actually saying it. The most self centered player ever giving away a pen? He never got booked.
Gazza was an unfulfilled talent . He won very little of note in his career of note. The crazy stories aren't funny anymore.
Wtfs a rabona you crazy people
