Sad news indeed, a great talent in his day. xxx
what about you're ego
I am ego what?
In Arcadia Ego?
I just watched a 2004 interview with him, on ITV.
The psych mentioned how he has loads of friends when he's up on top of the World, but when he gets depressed they all dissipate, and can't be arsed.
Rather than passing blame to his fair-weather mates, which is the easiest thing to think - it's more than likely he's a nasty person to be around when his mood swings from top-of-the-world to bottom. Drinkers and drug users tend to think they are wonderful personalities when they're liquored or dosed up, but more often - they're living behind a false perspective, and they are just utter wankers.
It starts with a few "prudes" huffing in disgust at their behavior, then snowballs until the 'wild and crazy, wonderful personality' has emptied the room, dispersed their companions and girlfriend or wife, and either got arrested or stumbled off to be sick while calling everyone names on the way. The friends start to avoid, the missus goes home to her Mother, and the centre-of-attention is left to hand out recriminations alone.
Such people are avoiding facing themselves, becoming centred and getting to know calmness and quiet in and around themselves.
I reckon 'Gazza' is one of those people.
Bars Mar's done G Glover up like a kipper and the poor sod can't see it.
Very sad to see, hopefully he can pull himself together. I'll never forget the goal against the Scots in Euro 96.
LEGEND
I'll also never forget the 'flute' celebration in front of Celtic fans. Its funny, if he had made a racist statement or action based on colour of the skin, most people on here would have disowned him. Ah well, he's a loveable rogue who was good at football, eh.
I don't always agree with everything you say but in this instance i reckon you're probably not far off the mark. Pretty decent assessment of a wasted talent.
I hear he was sectioned and taken to a place full of hollow eyed souls with little chance of recovery.............Kevin Keegan said he was delighted to have him back!
