Because of my age, nothing beats Italia 90 and Euro 96 so it's Gazza for me. Well aye, it's objective v subjective Based on your criteria Waddle was better than Gazza for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on then Put forward your arguement for Gazza No ifs, buts or dreams of what could've been You can even use his honours for Rangers if you're struggling For me, Gazza is a nostalgia trip, an epitome of the England team that nearly got to some finals in the 90s, good, just not quite good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjayoghani Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yeah I know Daniel Braaten etc but this video is peak Gazza. People comparing raw stats are idiots when Rooney was a striker and Gazza a midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrelli Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Gazza for me. Nothing to do with the Man U thing as Rooneys record speaks for itself. However, Gazza at his peak was exceptional and was capable of carrying the team as he did in 1990. I still think but for ‘that’ booking England would have won the World Cup that year. It completely nullified our best player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Im not sure Harry Kane is better than Rooney, although very very close. Reckon Spurs will win summet this season. Deffo worth an EW bet for the league. Hope they do, for him at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 31, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2022 Different roles so not as easy comparison. International goal scoring record therefore isn't a fair comparator. Can't really say one is significantly better than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nantwichwhite Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hard to call Rooney over a period of time was very good/excellent. For three or four years Gazza was a genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
