"Paul Gascoigne had more natural talent than perhaps any other footballer England has ever produced. He also has a larger-than-life personality that few can match up to, meaning that wherever he went, there would usually be equal measures of chaos, laughter and mischief to follow. From his days coming up through the youth system at Newcastle United to his time at major tournaments with England, Gazza's reputation as a prankster always preceded him."
"I had to buy a new car for Gordon Durie, he tells FourFourTwo, wincing at how much it set him back. I'd put two trout in his car after training, and the smell was so bad that the chairman made me buy him a new car. And how much did that set him back? Seventeen grand that cost me!, Gazza recoils, before adding in another piece of trademark dark humour. It was still cheaper than the other f**king trout I f**king divorced"
Paul Gascoigne had exceptional natural talent and a larger-than-life personality that brought chaos, laughter and mischief wherever he played. A notorious prankster throughout his career, Gascoigne rose through Newcastle's youth system and featured at major England tournaments. During three seasons with Rangers (1995–1998) a prank involving two trout placed in teammate Gordon Durie's car produced such a foul smell that the club chairman required Gascoigne to pay for a replacement vehicle, costing him seventeen thousand pounds. The prank followed a two-decade career across nine clubs in four countries, and Gascoigne earned 57 England caps and inspired moments such as Euro 96.
