A seemingly ordinary charity game evoked the memories of too many fans. That is your youth and mine, the years are fleeting, and the stars who were worshipped at that time are also full of white hair and are no longer young.
Such a charity game brought different emotions to the fans, this game is to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Scottish Glasgow Rangers Club, against the Glasgow Rangers Legends, and the World United.
Among the players who played, there were too many familiar figures, including Luis Figo, Ricardo Quaresma, Nuno Gomez, Kaka, Carlos Macena and so on. Van Bronckhorst, Jorge Alberts, Ronald De Boer and Barry Ferguson, who had played for rangers, were all on the team.
Although the crowd is shining, the fans' eyes are more focused on Gascoin's body. Before the game began, Gascoin could not contain his emotions and burst into tears.
Older fans may be more familiar with Gascoin, and the labels given to Gascoin by more media are all exactly the same: he is one of the most talented players England has ever seen. In today's England team, many fans have seen Gascoin's young figure from Foden, but to reach Gascoin's height, Foden still has a long way to go.
After the game began, Aveladze opened the scoring for the Rangers, Macchena equalised and Nuno Gomez helped World Series come back. Quaresma scored a value-preserving goal on the outside to rewrite the score to 3-1.
A moving scene appeared, and in the 80th minute, Gascoin appeared. A few minutes later, he received a cross from his opponent and shot at goal, but the ball was weak and there was no way to convert it into a goal.
The World League defender hurried to pass the ball to Gascoin, gascoin's second-footed shot did not pose a threat to the goal, england goalkeeper David James made a beautiful "save" and successfully leaked the ball into the net.
After the goal, Gascoin raised his hands to celebrate, not only the opponents of the Rangers, but also the teammates of the World United team gathered around, and everyone sang together and celebrated happily around Gascoin.
Yes, the score is no longer important, the way the goal is scored is no longer important, what matters is that Gascoigne "came back to life"!
In an interview with the media after the game, Rangers' former manager Alex McLeish revealed that Gascoin was in tears again at the reception dinner.
As a player, Gascoin played for Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio, Middlesbrough, Everton, Grasque Rovers, League One Barnsley, A B Gansu Pegasus, League B, And Boston United in League Two.
At the national team level, Gascoin has made 57 appearances for England, and in the semi-finals of the 1990 World Cup, after Gascoin was shown a yellow card, he did not have the opportunity to participate in the possible final because of the accumulation of yellow cards (later lost in the penalty shootout semi-final), his loss of voice and tears, which moved many fans.
At euro 1996 against Scotland, Gascoin's brilliant goal revealed his talent. That year, he was reborn in Nirvana for the first time.
Prior to that, Gascoin had played for Lazio for three seasons, but due to persistent injuries, he only made 50 appearances combined.
In the summer of 1995, Gascoigne joined Rangers, where he was also named Scottish Footballer of the Year.
After the European Championship, Gascoin once again helped rangers win the title with 17 goals in 34 games the following season, but his alcoholism problem has become more and more serious.
Alcohol made Gascoin's body quickly collapse, and he was no longer brave. After retiring from the army, Gascoin is still accompanied by alcohol for many years, his clothes are ragged, his body is covered with blood, and he is wandering the streets with a wine bottle in his hand, which has become a symbol of Gascoin.
Gascoin was once taken to the hospital for severe alcoholism, and doctors issued a critical illness notice. Gascoin, who was less than 50 years old at the time, looked like an old man in his seventies, and alcohol almost completely destroyed him and almost took him out of this world.
Today, the 54-year-old Gascoin can still stand on the green field, he is much fatter than when he was an alcoholic, and his form seems to have returned to normal. I hope that this veteran game can help Gascoin regain the sunshine in life!
