A full house at The Southbank was treated to a fantastic night's entertainment
In the space of just two months in 1991, Paul Gascoigne, probably the most talented English footballer of his generation, upset the fans of both Nottingham football clubs.
The first studs-to-the-chest challenge was bad enough and the second knee-high lunge should also have seen the then 23-year-old Italia 90 hero handed a red card. In a cheeky mention of the 1991 FA Cup final win over the Reds he had the room in fits of laughter saying “I hope Gary Charles isn’t here?” And he recalled a game at the City Ground where he heard someone shouting “fatty, run back” from the sideline.
A night like this was never going to be complete without a smattering of tales about his successes for England at both Italia 90 and the 1996 European Championships with his famous dentist’s chair celebration when he scored a wonder goal against the auld enemy, Scotland.
