Thoughts on Gascoigne
Thoughts – Gascoigne is a documentary follow the career of one of England’s greatest ever players, whose career started so promising, only for it to come apart due to injuries that hinder him from continue the stardom he had early in his career. It is well-known the problems that Gascoigne has been through his later career, but seeing just how much he finds himself going through to make it, the decisions he goes through before getting to the next level. The interviews are from some of players and managers who only has respect for him. The only negative can be that most of the information can be found online without much work, so not much new comes from what we see.
