It's 'dislike him intensely'. Holy fuck, for a self-proclaimed intellectual you split more infinitives than Peter Andre.

He really got the brunt of the British media ‘build them up to knock them down’ tactic. Plus he always seemed a bit fragile mentally, and it must be a mind fuck to go from being a star of your profession to a redundant has-been. I know he tried his hand at managing, but that was a predictable disaster. As were his attempts at punditry.
I think a good career option would be as a writer. Obviously not actually writing, but dictating observations on football matters once a week for one of the rags. Give the journalists some license to polish it up a bit and I think a lot of people would be interested in what he has to say.
I’ll always remember him fondly. That free kick against Woolwich was one of my earliest memories as a Spurs fan, and I was also lucky enough to be at the old Wembley when he scored that goal against Scotland.
He was my idol, replacing Hoddle. Junior spurs Paxton Road, I would watch him the whole game - the most naturally gifted english footballer of all time, and he was spurs.
Thank fuck you can spellNo way- he's a goon!
Could have, not of!Thank fuck you can spell
Mrs P.
Could of been awkward.
Hoddle!Has there ever been a better English midfielder than Gascoigne?
It's great, but such a sad story.Havent seen the documentary yet but I've always thought it's criminal what the media in this country can get away with.
Piers Morgan is a gooner twat; he made money exploiting and then knocking down people like Gazza. He’s a wretched excuse of a human being.Just watched the Gazza film - in 2 parts.
What an absolute legend, ruined by so many people. Just a lad who had great footballing skills, wanted to have a good time and have a beer with his mates.
Yet completely ruined by Piers Morgan and Rebbeca Brooks who wanted to use him to further their careers.
Just awful that he never stood a chance - people were hired to start fights with him just to get a story and getting a network of stooges to befriend him as fakes to get any inside story they could.
Probably ruined that kid’s day and made him a laughing stock amongst mates etc. What a twat.Prick move tbh.
