Yeah, that is typical Gazza.
I really liked him as a kid. From what I can remember he was loved by everyone because of his character. Lineker said about him that he never seen so much talent on the pitch when he started playing but that as a character he was childlike, with a great sense of humor, though. Even then, he had so much energy that it was hard to keep up with him. In Italy, before England played Cameroon in quarter-final, he couldn't sleep in his room and slipped out in the middle of the night to play a game of tennis, according to Gary.
He never knew where the line is, though, and while he still played football it was not so bad. You could see the signs as he became older, especially during injuries that his behavior started being self-destructive and once he stop playing it could only got worse.
Anyway, he still fights with it as I can see. Hope he can stay well.
