To mark the release of Gazza, out now, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on DVD.
Paul Gascoigne was the face of ‘90s Britain, the most celebrated young footballer in the world, and a newspaper editor’s dream. His on-field brilliance was matched only by his off-field antics, which the tabloid media ruthlessly exploited for a celebrity-obsessed audience.
Gazza is an unflinching portrait of the ultimate tragic hero, whose love for the riches and limelight of fame proved to be his downfall. An unmissable documentary for any football fan, featuring interviews from friends, family, and former teammates and coaches including Alan Shearer, Bryan Robson, Paul Ince, Ian Wright and Terry Venables.
Gazza was directed by Sampson Collins and was produced by Gareth Dodds, Tom Wood, Vaughan Sivell & Will Kane with Keith Haviland & Mark Stewart credited as Exec Producers.

There’s been so much written about former England footballer Paul Gascoigne – aka Gazza – that you wonder what’s left to be said. If this feature-length documentary, shown in two parts on the BBC, is anything to go by, the answer is not a lot.
That’s not to say Gazza isn’t worth a watch, it’s just that it ends up being one long nostalgia trip at times, and probably doesn’t quite fulfil its brief.
