Artist known as Gazza becomes 'G8'

22 October 2004

Prince Once became a squiggle, while Madonna recently declared that she is now Esther. Now Paul Gascoigne - the artist formerly known for being daft as a brush - will henceforth be known as "G8".

The former England, Newcastle, Tottenham and Lazio midfielder, who recently resigned as Boston's player-coach, made his announcement on Wednesday. "G8 is right for us now," he said. "It sounds a bit like 'great', or at least it does with my Geordie accent."

Gascoigne said the name change would help him put his troubled past - he has battled against alcoholism and depression - behind him.

"Paul's not right for us because it's too closely linked with the past," Gascoigne said. "I just want to be the guy that enjoyed his football and entertained the fans."

Us?
How many of himself does he think there is?:confused:

yes but as u know a lot of people just see former rangers player and go to town without knowing any of the facts, my view of him changed when i read the book. great read.

Every time I see or hear Gazza now, sorry G8, I just feel sorry for him. Solely because it's obvious he's got mental problems and his speech is all wonky ala the great Ali.
Sounds as if he's p!ssed all the time.

Aye or even "wife beating, secaterian hatred inciting racist scum"! Actually, that includes a 5 syllable word! Sure he cannae manage that :D
His book in ma opinion would be expensive bog roll ;) surely he can't even write himself, though it's not that hard:

Beat up the wife, made a mockery of secaterian hatred in Northern Ireland despite being from Newcastle, made some racist comments, drunk to much, buggered up the career, got depressed, wrote a book"

Couldn't care less for the arsehole-doesn't matter who he played for :rolleyes: (though admittidly it fuels it). If a Celtic player scored and stuck his fingers in a gun shape behind a teammates knees it'd still be disgraceful :mad:

Right enough of sitting on the fence about him, ;) totally agree with yer Liam
the bloke's a total d**khead.
No matter how much yer tried to avoid the hype about this superstar in 1990 who helped his country so much in that semi v Germany that he spent most of the game bawling his eye's out over not playing in a final that thankfully the rest of his teammate's did'nt play in either :D it was impossible.
He played up to the thick yob image to the full in front of the media and thankfully his antic's including battering his wife and bravely trying to cover it up by getting her seen to by his club docter are now yesterday's new's as well as other such classic's like telling the people of Norway to f off as well as trying to end other player's career's like he tried to do to Gary Charles of Notts Forest and f**king himself up in the process.
He represented the same thug mentality on the pitch as what follow's his national team around.
F**k him.

Ahh, maybe it's old age, gut I've mellowed towards him ever since seeing a documentary earlier this year in which his mental illnesses were all too apparent. The poor man suffers from Tourette's syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder to name but two. No ****ing picnic, either one of them.

Yes, I was apoplectic about the flute-playing incidents at the time (quelle surprise? ;) ) and yes, I hated him for it at the time, but hindsight is clear enough for me to see that Gascoigne is nothing more than a poorly-advised and seriously ill man.

I can't and won't condone or accept what he did to his wife and certainly won't use his illnesses as an excuse for this vile behaviour. However, the man could use a little compassion right now. I wish him all the best.

Hmm. Clearly the guy has behavior problems, a record for domestic violence and (like Beckham and Mutu) is being very badly advised, about his image rights and the like.

But some of the criticism and analysis here goes over the top. He realised he'd miss the World Cup final- who wouldn't cry? (Robbie Savage and James Quinn reacted similarly to being ruled out of mere qualifiers against England). He kicked Gary Charles, sure, but many have worse disciplinary records on the field. And he somehow represents England's hoolie following? Don't be silly. I don't remember him banging on any French cars the last time England played in Paris :)

The flute-playing was naughty but hey, don't be so po-faced. Did ye notice he was holding it upside down?

Michael Ballack for a start DG, went on and scored a goal after he got his booking ruling him out of the 2002 final.
Also a certain Cork man against Juventus in a champion's league semi, he went on and done the same.

He don't speak on behalf of them I'm sure ;) but he's the same kind of scumbag.
Here's a bloke who had everything, and every one else seem's to be at fault for his fall from grace, be it his wife or the media who he was alway's happy enough to perform for when they stuck a camera in his face and was happy to have them follow him around, but then it was their fault he did'nt get picked for the World cup in France after his night on the tear in the west end.
One bunch he don't lay any blame at his his old mate's who he used to chuck his money around at and his show biz drinking pal's.
I don't feel sorry one bit for him, the Loch Lomond incident was'nt the first time he beat his wife, he'd down it in Italy before not to mention the cowardly use of his elbow's on oppenent's.
He was more then happy to treat us through the media to his wit and wisdom :rolleyes: and now the media are'nt really interested anymore. What a shame. :D

You speak as if the entire English community was of one opinion. They were not then, no more than they are now. I am not standing up for some thugs in the police force who made life miserable for many Irish people. And there are probably some serving, and definitely some retired civil servants in the Home Office whose behaviour in the 70s and 80s should be investigated with a view to bringing criminal charges against them for their treatment of Irish working in the UK, and even for Irish people on holiday. But that is no reason to smear all English soccer team supporters, as you seem to do.

I hate gazza, aside from him playing for three of the teams i hate most (spurs, rangers, and Lazio). But he ****ed up some amazing talent, and hit a woman. any man who lays a finger on a woman, NO MATTER WHAT, should be taken out the back and given a swift one in the back of the head. its despicable, and i hope the **** bag gets everything he deserves. as for his new name, 'gate' is clearly a complete screwball. but frankly, i couldnt care less.

As we 'auslanders' are always told, if you are going to talk about a subject make sure you know what you are talking about, or have a smoke, a coke and shut da f*ck up! You clearly know f*ck all about what most Irish people went through here in the seventies and eighties.

Suspicion of the Paddies ran right through British society. My old man got it at work, I got it at school and I witnessed it myself towards others (and confronted it head on where it needed some blunt Anglo-Saxon expletives) when I went to work. One bloke, who I still work with, being particularly suspicious to the natives cos he :eek: read Irish books (well he must be a Provo if he's reading Irish). Everyone with an Irish passport got stopped on leaving the country on boats that weren't going to Ireland (here, due to the pressure of numbers the police were more selective), even the John 'Coco' Whites of this world who only got an Irish passport because the Belfast office was on strike or sommut. One I worked with - from Ballymena - claimed that they managed to strip search him and the only other Paddy on a flight to Tenerife and still didn't find his stash of ganja he had left in his pocket.

Every time I left Britain I got my passport stamped up until around 1986, when an enlightened TD brought this illegal practice up with the EU. What truly made me laugh was the pure f*cking stupidity of the Special Branch morons. Take this from one of my mandatory pull-overs at Harwich, this time just after the Brighton bombing. Knucklehead: 'Sir :rolleyes: How long have you lived in England?' My reply: 'All my life.' KH: 'Oh so you were just born in Ireland?' Me: 'No.' KH: 'Oh you were born in England. Oh that's alright then, sir.'

Another memorable moment of how lovely the natives were to the Irish was when someone at work mentioned that he had come to the conclusion :rolleyes: that there must be some 2Gs in the provos and that they should all be put under watch aswell. Congratulations Sherlock, until I mentioned that I was one of that said fraternity. Soon shut the c*nt up. England fans? Bunch of scum IMO. :p Oh and before you say anything, if you read my profile you'll notice that I've got a chip on both shoulders.

Here we go, it seem's it's all right for people to slag off every Algerian in Paris because some of the lad's had a one off dust up with some of them the other week ,but mention a bunch like the Tans who there's been more then a one off dust up and that's a no no.
I take it you've lived and grew up in Britain or you've met up with the nice guys who follow Inguurlund when on yer travels.
Also you sound like you've had great experiance with mr PC Plod over here.
The Humberside Police force which came into the new's recently over it's couldn't be bothered attitude towards Ian Huntley and vetting paedophiles was also a police force which told it's officers to get it's priortys right instead :rolleyes: at the time to check on every Irish person living in Hull or passing through Hull port.
I take it members of your own family have been pulled up the Tan police force, my father who never done anything to anyone in all his year's in Ingurlunnd was still held a few time's on the basis of being Irish in the 70's, a situation which has got a lot better but as I found out with getting dragged over at Stansted airport on my way to the Faroe's match a situation which has not gone away.
Another great experiance I encountered with regards to the next best fans at WC 2002 was the night they got knocked out by Brazil, in which myself and a couple of mate's had to jump in and back up a group of Brazilian's who were about to get a doing on a tube in London that night, and it were'nt from thugs in Burburry it was from joe bloggs public, who were'nt to happy that their so called superstars could be knocked out by a bunchhh of Dagoo's as they put it.
When Wembley reopen's I challange you to go up to Kilburn or Willisden in North West London on the route to Wembley And have a quite pint in one of the many Irish pubs around that area, you might find that yer change yer tune about Ingurluund fans.

Ma grandad was stopped by armed-ARMED police during the trouble for walking around London with a pot of stew! Searched and held other time, my uncle beaten up by the police who gave him the choice to have a pillow tied round him in the cells and get a kicking or to run down a nearby alley and get a kicking if they caught him!
Your right Sylvo-it hasn't gone away! Was reading today about an Irish lad-who went to uni in London (!) being held for 6 hours after they said "we can do this in six hours of seven days"!! Also they wouldn't let him have his phone call "you ain't been aressted so you don't need one!"

They still sing "no surrend*r" in the pubs over here during ingurland games, i still get abuse for the jersey's I wear, I still get kids pulling the flags off ma roof during WC and i'd still get a beating if I went up the road to Aldershopt in ma Ireland jersey!
On top of this there is a loy*list parade in Birmingham in a couple of weeks-hijacking the anniversary of the bombings, and there are still or*nge order parades down the track in Portmouth during July.

Correct me if mistaken PP, but I assumed your lament to lost liberalism referred the stick the English generally (rather than just Gascoigne), are getting above. If so I agree with you.

I doubt anyone reading here- whether they grew up in Britain or not- doubts that the Irish suffered prejudice in this country. Fair Play Boy offers a pefectly reasonable criticism, as below

FPB's description is more recognisable to me, as someone who lived and worked in England in the 80s. Of course, I can't speak for the 70s, as I was at school in Belfast. I'll admit it may have been rather less intimidating than Hemel, London or Guildford :)

I go to Aldershot FC at least once a season and amazingly, the squaddies haven't beaten me up once, or even got lairy in a pub!

Using the word 'if'! I was saying what g*asgcoine did was a disgrace and not just because he played for the huns. IF a Celtic player performed a secaterian celebration it would still be disgraceful! (just so happens that none of ours ever have :D :rolleyes: )

Happy to correct you there.

Have you forgotten Mo Johnston's 'sign of the cross' gestures at Rangers fans when in a Celtic shirt. Something he never did at Watford...maybe Celtic fans will argue that he was genuinely religious... :rolleyes:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2090-533235,00.html

Could you really class that as sectarian Conor?
I mean I suppose it would be if Rangers fans didn't believe in God at all but that's not the case.

I particularly liked the one about him using elbows. Did he? Really? Well I never? A player who got physical...burn him at the stake. Imagine what that poster will say when he sees the replay of that Keane/Haaland moment.

No need for the lecture on those incident's bud, Keane was a pr**t and ended up f**king himself up for a year, and deserved more of a punishment then what he got for his next attack on Haaland which Haaland has not got over .

25/10/2004, 1:51 PM

Well, as it was a religious gesture, a lot more sectarian than miming playing a musical instrument. But given the context, both gestures were unacceptable and inappropriate.

No; Players make the sign of the cross when they take corners, penalties etc. all the time!
You can't honestly say the gas*coine was miming an instrument and it just so happend to be the flute and could have just as easily been the French horn!
The sign of the cross is associated with Christianity; the flute is associated with an anti-Catholic group with links to lo*alist paramilatery groups; slight difference?

Irish people get so excited about Gazza and his private life. Yet, say, if someone's mentions Keane or McGrath and their drinking people get very defensive and go on about judging a player on the pitch and not off it.

Get excited, more sick to death of it and the over exposure the media gave him and his hysterical antics :rolleyes: which now thankfully they don't find to funny. I don't think I ever heard Keane or McGrath blaming anyone else but themselves about their drinking, unlike Gascoigne.
