Brutal - Sometimes fame ain't what its cracked up to be.
Its sad because Gazza gave them so much to write about as it was and he'd give anyone the shirt off his back.
Speaking of giving, I have a Star of Newcastle pin on one of my Rangers scarves that My Uncle John swears Gazza gave him in the Louden Bar one night after a match for his nephew in Canada.
To go from possibly 1-1 to 2-0 just like that, KILLED me.
Did you see how he undressed Colin Hendry?
Magic stuff.
I was at a friend's place with literally 6 Scottish lads and 6 English lads, all of us kitted out in our colours.
We were so in their face when the PK was called and within a minute they were right back in in ours.
Classic.
We all went for brekkie afterwards and proceeded to have a great day pinting it up.
When the cab dropped me off in a messy heap at the house that night all I remember as they left was hearing 'We love you England, we do' at the top of those bitches' lungs.
The team was on a pre-tournament tour in Asia and on a night out in Hong Kong after the had finished playing all their matches, a bunch of the lads go out for 'a drink'. Things got ridiculous and they were in some bar that had a dentist chair (odd but standard apparently in HK). You'd lie on the dentist chair, some guy would hold your head back and they'd pour booze down your throat. Seem to remember doing this down at Squid Roe in Cabo but that's beside the point.
A bunch of pics were taken by journalists and as per the media in the UK, they were published brandishing the team a disgrace, etc.
The celebration that Gazza did (not quite captured very well in the aforementioned video) was mint :
