Gascoigne psyched himself up so much he was out of his mind from the first whistle. It makes you wonder if he was ever mentally fit to handle the pressure of a final.
Amazing the way on both challenges tte way Forest players pick themselves up as if nothing had happened. I can only imagine what would be happening today. Gary Parker having to be flown by helicopter to Westminster's Hospital.
They were probably scared of Brian Clough subbing them if they rolled around 🤣 different game back then, but definitely a red card that first one. Everyone says we never got to see gazza at his best after this, but the goal for England against Scotland is one of the best I've ever seen from an England player 👏 A pleasure to watch him play even 20 years from now he will be worth a watch
He would remember to control his temperament. But probably the temptation to impress princess Diana was appealing to him . And he lost his logical sense. The rest is history. And we will never see Gazza at his best again.
Same stuff. He would have drank himself to oblivion anyway, just like George Best did. In those days alcoholism ran rampant in football. Ask Tony Adams and Paul Merson.
Interesting to see a young Keane against Gazza. Clough later said that only Roy really played for him that season, of the whole squad. In hindsight, that game marked the zenith of Gazza's career, sadly. Obviously he'd have great moments again, but from that point on, his career would be marked by injuries and scandal and the overall sense that he would never become what he might have been.
@Gaming-Shed the above comment literally said he went on to great things again. Did you not read it before you criticised? And the above commentator is correct. He was never as good again after this.
I am French and Gascoigne is relatively little known in France, even more so today. Where does this “failure” come from? He was a great player who seemed very psychologically unstable. And, do you miss English football from that era, before the Premier League, or not? Thanks
@RichieMacMr yeah your right he went in to hurt that player so I suppose karma sought to that , but he could've been the best player ever if wasn't for the alcohol
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

He was tempted to impress the charming Princess Diana 😜
Still think he snorted a mountain of cocaine before he played that match...
@@omnitheus5442 Heard it was speed.
@@omnitheus5442yeah I noticed he couldn’t keep away from the white lines on the pitch 😂
Never understood any of the love for Gascoigne. Great player, but Grade A bellend.
Takes one to know one
@@familyread7889 😂 what are you, 12? 🤦
😂😂 12 and a half
I agree. Gascoigne was a complete mad hatter and a liability to Spurs in this game.
How he stayed on the pitch after that baffles me.
He was a “loveable English rogue”……… only reason he stayed on
6 years before this final kevin moran got red so how did looney gazza not get red for two crazy challenges
he was so coked up there
lol he didn’t get on the gear until he went to Italy… that was adrenaline.
@@mrorangepeel659 he wants to tear his nose off on the video. coked up to the max.

Even by 1991 standards that challenge was outrageous, it should have been a straight red with a 5 game ban.

Deserved his career hampering injury
I love Gazza but those 'challenges' were beyond awful.
Very poor performance from the referee Roger Milford. First challenge on Gary Parker red card!!!!
Charles & Parker we’re straight up after them tackles, straight red for the first one!
If he’d have been booked for the first foul on Garry Parker, how different would Gascoigne’s career/life have been?
Great question. That one moment could have changed...well, everything.

Booked? He should have gone. That’s a red card challenge even by 1991 standards.
@@EyeMixMusic as usual terrible refereeing always leads to the good ol avalanche effect
I am not a spurs fan but I remember Vinny Samways having a fantastic game
His bloody career should have been over after that tackle,park player at best...like best,at least in the pub.
Wtf was he doing playing centre half for the second tackle anyway ?? He’d lost the run of himself on his job that day as it was !!
Puma kings ❤️
And Pearce scored the free kick we didnt show you
What the F was gazza doing. He wasnt close to the ball at all
he just wanted to hurt the players on both challenges. should have been red on the first one, would have been good for everyone including him.
Great player but didn't have it between the ears to reach his potential.
childhood trauma can destroy someone from the inside

Except he went onto great things with Rangers. I don't care whether your brain cant accept Scottish football as of any standard or not.

Dumb tackle by a dumb player…
That changed his whole life , such a shame really
not a shame: horribly violent fouls
