31 Paul Gascoigne


Potentially one of the all time great footballers who unfortunately threw his career away due to a badly-timed challenge that wrecked his knee and years of alcohol abuse and over-eating. When Gazza wasn't eating all the pies and drinking himself to sleep at night, he was an occasionally majestic player with endless skill. While he was brilliant in his early days, he flattered to deceive more often than not after his injury and only produced flashes of what he was capable of. Those flashes, however, often won matches, as Scotland remember only too well from Euro 96.
