Ratings and reviews

My first world cup was italia 90. I watched it with my dad, I was 10 years old. I remember watching gazza and thinking I want to be as good as him. I was never much good at football lol but I idolised him. He was my childhood hero, as I'm sure he was for a lot of kids. I never really thought about it until now, but when Gazza started to stop playing football, I stopped watching it. I never really was a massive fan of football, But there was something magic about the way Gazza played. The documentary is brilliant!! Gazza your a ledgend and one hell of a football player...

A great insight into the flawed genius that is Paul Gascoigne. Gazza...your still an absolute legend!

The story of a true living football legend, and sadly, the tourtured soul that goes with him.
