There's only one Paul Gascoigne.
One Paul Gascoigne.
There's only one Paul Gascoigne.
Paul Gascoigne is the special one.
He's made a brilliant run.
Paul Gascoigne.
He was always
someone who I looked up to,
for the way he played football and, um,
and how good he was.
I still think to this day he was
Gascoigne.
He leaves two for dead.
Players in the middle... So close again.
Part of his genius,
part of his magnificence,
is the fact that he is so vulnerable.
Without that vulnerable side,
without that carefree side,
without all the things
that come with Gazza,
I don't think Paul Gascoigne
would have been the player that he was.
Is Gascoigne
going to have a crack?
He is, you know! What a play! Brilliant!
He's the best in the world.
Honestly, the best in the world.
coming in from training once,
and he grabbed us by the neck
and he wanted a word with us,
and he was fucking serious.
And he went, "I've just been to see
a psychiatrist about you,"
he says, "And there's nothing
I can do about it.
"Just leave you, you're a genius.
"Now get the f*ck out of my sight."
That was hilarious,
you know, I went, Wow."
I was born in Gateshead.
I loved my childhood, you know,
even though we didn't have much as a family.
She had three or four jobs.
That's the way things were then, you know?
A lot of people lived
for the weekends, like, on a Saturday.
The atmosphere around Newcastle
when it's matchday is incredible.
You know, everyone's got a buzz,
because when Newcastle win,
it makes the weekend for everybody up there.
I mean, where I lived,
it must have been about eight miles away,
and you could hear even
the Gallowgate End singing, you know?
And also, when you hear the crowd,
I'll get my ball out in the street
and, as if I was playing there.
We used to play in the sheet,
where we ail had the gates at the house.
We would, like, say,
"That one's my goal, that gate, "
and we used to use a tennis balk.
And I loved it.
All the kids would be doing other things,
I would just be with this tennis ball non-stop.
I remember watching
a match once where Johann Cruyff
did a turn and I was like, "Wow."
And I just tried 10 remember how he did it
and went out and practised with a tennis ball.
When I was seven, it was my birthday
and my dad bought us
And this thing never left my foot.
I took it to the park,
I took it to the school.
I hid it so the teachers couldn't see it.
Then after school I'd kick it about
with the guys.
And then I remember one day
it was 7:
00 at night and I'm in my roomand I've got this ball.
So I climbed out the back window
and down the drainpipe
and just kept on kicking it in the back garden.
And I just loved it.
From seven to 14 was Redheugh Boys Club
every night, you know,
this is every night for years.
And I absolutely loved it because
we'd go there, train, for, like,
40 minutes, or whatever, and then we got to
play on the Saturday or the Sunday
for the boys club and go away with them,
and just mixing with other guys
who were decent footballers, you know?
I just loved entertaining.
You know, there's no better feeling than just
trying to putting a smile on someone's face.
When I scored, I remember all the parents
cheering and all that, you know?
And that was a great feeling.
I've got the winner,
so I thought, well, you know,
how good it would be to do that
in front of, like, the Gallowgate End,
in St James' Park.
