Guess the game: Life stories - Paul Gascoigne

Can't stand Piers Morgan.
Now that is out of the way, watching the repeat of the Gazza interview, says he drank 4 bottles of wine, had 11 sleeping tablets, went to bed, woke up at 6am, finished more wine and a couple more tablets, had another hour, rolled into the club, played a blinder, woke up with 3 MOTM trophies.
Got to training and was given an ultimatum, kicked out of the club or rehab for a month.
Was playing for us. Hasn't said who we were playing, but we must have won, so i'm going 'that' Preston FA cup game at Goodison.

If it was an away game I remember him having a very good game at Leicester at the old Filbert Street, which I think was also on sky.

From memory he was good in a game away at Bolton. Scored too i think.

If i remember rightly Steve Watson scored an overhead kick that game.

It was Leyton Orient in the FA Cup, he said on This Morning

It was against Sunderland, it said in his book. He was dead nervous 'cause all the Sunderland lads were telling him how boss against Gavin McCann was.

5 different posts, 5 different possibilities, he must have been smashed more than just once then.

FOUR bottles of wine, 14 sleeping tablets, two treble brandies and a cigarette. The prelude to a Man of the Match performance from an Everton FC*midfielder.

No ordinary pre-match preparation, but then Paul Gascoigne was no ordinary footballer. And he details the bizarre bender in his entertaining new autobiography “Glorious: My World, Football And Me.”

Gazza recalled: “We were due to play Sunderland at home on 12 January 2002. I had a load of mates who were Sunderland supporters and they kept calling to tell us that Gavin McCann was going to p*** all over us in the match.

Have that.

I reckon Bily should give this a try.

Gavin McCann? As if Gazza was scared of Gavin McCann, no disrespect to the lad but he was ****e for us, and most other teams he played for. Not as bad as John Oster mind...
