Gascoigne documentary.

Let´s remember football career of Paul Gascoigne who is again making headlines because of the new documentary about him named Gascoigne that is to be talked about here subsequently. Paul Gascoigne reached semi-finals both in 1990 World Cup and UEFA EURO 1996 playing for England, similarly, he played for Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio (Italy) Glasgow Rangers (Scotland), Middlesbrough, Everton, Burnley or Gansu Tianma (China). He won one FA Cup, 2 Scottish Leagues, one Scottish cup and one Cup of Scotland. Injuries, diverse scandals and above all his alcoholism ended his career (he was expelled from English national team in 1998 because he was caught drunk, what is more, he tried to punch the English manager because of his decision). Is Paul Gascoigne a football legend? I am not sure. Even so, I still believe he deserves a documentary as his life and career are interesting and this film Gascoigne it is indeed, we see Wayne Rooney on it whose football style and upbringings are not dissimilar to the ones of Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker also appears who played alongside Gascoigne in English national team and finally Jose Mourinho who is not Englishman but he is very popular nonetheless.

Documentary Gascoigne is interesting, you can see Paul Gascoigne talking sincerely about his life, failures, scandals, excesses yet the easiness with which many attribute extremely positive adjectives is insulting. Let me say something: Is Paul Gascoigne a football legend or England, a country in which football is so important and relevant does not have proper legends hence they are always ready to find anything so that having an excuse to produce a documentary? I am afraid to answer to such a question...
