No he was not, he won **** all and that is all that counts. Also he is a drunk and wife beater, so therefore cannot have been a good footballer.
No, you don't get it, George Best was class cos he won trophies, doesn't matter that he was a drunken wife beater, Gazza didn't win own therefore he was sh¡t!
Your logic is admirable but flawed, Best won the Div 1 title with Man Utd and the European Cup with them, therefore is is a great player, his other failings dissappear because he won trophies.
You're all wrong. Gareth Southgate used to be a professional footballer, got 50 caps for his country and appeared in a Pizza Hut advert. If he says Gazza was good, he must have been. On the flipside, he lost two cup finals and 'only' commentates for ITV not Sky, so maybe that counts against him. The qualification criteria are so complex, it's no wonder some folk go round contradicting themselves.
Typical ex pro and mate trying to tell us that Gazza was any good when we all know he was fecking *****.
YES. Gerrard... champ league, fa cup, league cup, eurpa league. no scot micky mouse cups. proper comp, proper wins.
