Gazza was my idol, what that guy could not do with a football was probably not worth knowing and in my opinion was the most naturally gifted British Born Footballer since the likes of George Best...When he got booked and cried, I think I cried with him, in fact I think millions probably cried with him. I always said that night in Turin was the night that changed his life and he never really got over it, as we would see over the next 25 years.
I still get goosebumps when I see highlights of the 1990 World Cup and will never forget that free kick he scored at Wembley in the FA Cup semi final...Of course that goal Wembley in 1996 is still one of the best goals ever scored there, he made Colin Hendry look like a complete tit...

They need a thread of their own!
Murton and Sunderland back then, weren't too many divisions apart in 88!
The World Cup would have been a massive step up!
