Paul Gascoigne:

“He winds everyone up! He gets on my nerves and drives me nuts. He must get paid for every word he says. An extra bit of bonus. He loves to talk. But he was like that in the dressing room too, he loves his football.”

Q: What was he like back in those days? Did you ever have any good nights out together?

Paul Gascoigne:

“He didn’t turn up for a drink with us one night. And I went mad and I rang him up and said, ‘what time do the kids finish school?’ He said, ‘15:30, why?’ I said, ‘I’m just curious’. So it was 15:20. I went to a pet shop where we lived, and I bought two budgies in a cage. Two goldfish and then a rabbit and a rabbit hutch. I left them outside his door at 15:29. So he rings me up and called me a b**tard, I said ‘what’s wrong?’ He said his kids had rang him up and thanked him for the new pets!”
