When they said they were bringing on Gazza at half time. I thought fair enough they have to try something their midfield is struggling!

I missed it as was on HT pie duty, but my mate said he received a warm welcome from the Hibs fans and was looking in decent health. Magnificent player in his day.

Gazza and pies. I remember the story of him making pies which his dad ate. Totally disgusting as well if true. The funny side was him getting a yellow card from the ref for showing the ref the yellow card which the ref dropped.

A great footballer in his day ruined by drink and drugs. Sad state of affairs. Still a hun of course.

The only ex player they could have brought on at half time that I would have taken the time to acknowledge would have been Fernando Ricksen.

Why's that? Utter welt of a man. Drink driving and assaulting his neighbours to name but two incidents. Originally Posted by Sir David Gray

Maybe Ricksen would be given a positive reception because he’s currently fighting an extremely serious illness. Just a thought Originally Posted by KingDomofFife84

Because he's going through an illness that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy and as a high profile person, he is helping to put that illness in the spotlight and bringing much needed awareness to motor neurone disease. Originally Posted by KingDomofFife84

I'm aware Ricksen has a checkered history but I would be happy to acknowledge the suffering he must be going through with a dignified applause.

The folk round me were rather less complimentary when he came on. Originally Posted by Carheenlea

A wife beater who also completely bought into the bigotry that was (if possible) even worse back then. **** him, **** them, and **** everything they stand for. I do hope he fights his demons though, not nice to see anyone go through that. Originally Posted by Craig_HFC

Loved watching him play football but his mental health issues have led to many of his off field problems. The guy has issues so maybe some of the things he does has to taken in that context.

He's played a few air flutes in his time and is very much one of them. No interest in him.

Wasn't he also pally with that taxi driver that went on the rampage, killing several people? Because of his wife-beating history I've got very little sympathy for him at all, but he was a brilliant footballer.

I didn't recognize him on the footage I seen! Not seen a picture of him for years. I know he's had his problems, but.. Wow. Just wow.

For all his faults I've always felt for Gazza and hoped he gets himself sorted out, he seems to be on the right path at the moment.
He had a pretty grim childhood. His family lived in conditions pretty close to poverty, he witnessed his friend die in a car accident front of him when he was 10, his Dad regularly had fits and seizures and Gazza had twitches and ticks as well. He lost another friend at 15 and by that age was addicted to gambling and the sole provider for his family.
I'm not suggesting any of that excuses some of his actions as an adult but it probably goes some way to explaining them. Whilst he has made mistakes and bad decisions he has been treated for bulimia, bi-polar, OCD and multiple addictions and you can't just discount that when trying to understand him.
