Cas had a cap or two before Big Jack came along.
In 1987, Ireland boss Jack Charlton - who had spotted a young Gazza while in charge of Newcastle - discovered that the young midfielder had an Irish grandmother and tried to offer him a call-up straight to the national side.
Gascoigne, famously daft-as-a-brush, was blissfully unaware of his Irish roots, and spurned Charltonās advances. He was called up to the England U21 squad a week later and his future was sealed.
āThe problem was getting him to play for Ireland and if only Iād spoken to his mother a week earlier, I might have had the chance,ā Charlton said. āHe actually qualified to play for Ireland but no one knew it at the time and we only just missed out on him.ā
Itās commonly believed Ferguson would have saved Gazza from alcoholism and mental health problems. If heād played for ireland heād have been dead by 30

Cracking game vs Everton. Still 0-0 but could easily be 3-3 or 4-4. All out attack from both teams

Leeds walked all over the cunts. lack of finishing will cost them points, but itās a work in progress. Bielsa and Liam Cahill / Mikey Bevans

The crowd at Stamford are acting in a very bizarre manner from the bit Iāve seen. Randomly cheering like a crowd of crows any team Leeds complete a pass. Youād have to admire Leeds hatred of Chelsea and Man Utd.
