Gazza

[spike220]

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

[Carheenlea]

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.

[southsider]

Aye. Good luck to him.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Probably the only ex hun i don't mind. What a player he was.

[Craig_HFC]

He's a wife beater. **** him.

[Baldy Foghorn]

He tweeted about the warm reception received ending it with No Surrender.....

Says everything about the waster

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.

[lucky]

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.

[LancsHibs]

Couldn’t care less about him

[The Harp Awakes]

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

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.

[Sir David Gray]

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.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Hun bassa.

[H18S NX]

Ex Hun ****

[Swedish hibee]

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.

[WoreTheGreen]

Did he have a chicken supper and a fishing rod if not can’t be him

[21.05.2016]

What a sad state he's in these days. He's a hun ******* but still not nice to see someone have such a fall from grace.

He can’t be that bad a guy, remember he turned up with a packed lunch for a murderer a few years back - oh wait, yeh, thick as mince !!

[ekhibee]

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.

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.

The folk round me were rather less complimentary when he came on.

Absolutely. He's made bad decisions but alcoholism is an illness. Nobody would choose to be like that.

[heidtheba]

I always thought that Gazza was a body who had a fun-loving guy inside him who made poor decisions...and a huge load of demons which he had very little control over. Yes he did stupid things, yes he had ridiculously unhelpful mates, yup being in the limelight didn't help and neither did having the cash he did...but there was a lot of very very tragic stuff in his life too. I only ever felt you saw 'him' on a football field.
Could be wrong obvs.

At last - a reason to like Gascoigne !

[Famous Fiver]

Mental illness, if things are to be believed, so needed treatment instead of sycophancy.

Never been there myself so can only sympathise with the chap.

Obviously has had difficulty in differentiating between right and wrong, acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.

Perhaps one of our psychology experts will be along in a few minutes to discuss.
