Paul Gascoigne - Flawed genius
It was with great sadness that i read the latest reports concerning Paul Gascoigne. Weather you love him or loathe him one thing has to be said and that he was the most talented footballer of his generation.
It is not for me to comment on his illness but all i wish is that he makes a full recovery as the memories he gave me as a player even in his Spurs days (i am after all a Gooner) will take some replacing.
Genius it seems does not come without a price as demonstrated in the case of George Best to name just one and few could feel comfortable with the way Frank Bruno`s life went.
But i sincerely hope that Paul does make a full recovery in time and we can once again see the fun loving Geordie that won so many hearts that Summer night in 1990 during the World Cup Semi Final against Germany.
