		<description>Dino, i can grab where ya coming from mate... but i really do think Gazza&#039;s career and life would have been a lot different under the guidance of SAF.. .

Lee Sharpe was good yeh, but was never gonna be a &quot;World Beater&quot;... where Gazza had everything in his locker to become a &quot;World Beater&quot;... 

I do honestly believe that part of Gazza&#039;s problems are down to the fact that he never signed for Man u... 

Yeh depression is an illness, mental illness... but if he is looking at the likes or Rooney, seeing and reading these comparisions, coz they are very similar footballers in my eyes... surely this must be causing Gazza to have a lot of envy, which in turn must be causing more depth of depression.. 

We will never know just how good Gazza could have been... little bit like Georgie Best... he retired very young... missed a lot of his career due to alcohol... and we all know how good he was... no doubting it... but just how good could he have been... 

I am taking your views on board Dino and agree with them pretty much, but can ya see what im getting at... I wonder if Gazza is looking back and thinking what could have been, and if he is thinking would things have worked out better for him.</description>

		<description>McGrath and Whiteside left in 89. Gazza joined spurs in 88. 

I don&#039;t think this is off the subject. For a young impressionable footballer, Robbo could have been seen as proof that it could be possible to drink and be a great footballer.

Lee Sharpe is also proof that sometimes players refuses to listen to sense - how good could he have been?

My point is that Gazza would still a manic depressive, and not even Fergie can cure that. His illness has probably been worsened by alcohol, but it would still be there.</description>

		<description>Whiteside and McGrath had gone by the time we bidded for Gazza... and as for Robbo... was still a model pro... even though he is a beer monster..

Apparently the hardest trainer you will ever come across...plus was England Captain... and my boyhood hero when it came to footie.. so i cannot ever say anything bad against Robbo.

That is diverting off the subject... Gazza must be wondering just what might have happened... just how good he could have become if he had made that move to OT.</description>

		<description>Not sure if Robbo, Whiteside, McGrath and so on would be the perfect role models for a young Gazza. Not exactly teetotalers.</description>

		<description>Gazza always says it was his biggest life changing decision when he went back on the agreement to sign for United and went to Spurs instead.

He also knows that under the guidance of SAF he would have gone on to be one of the greatest players ever for England, and wouldnt be in the mess now..

What a bad decision it was to sign for Spurs... all for the sake of Spurs buying his parents a house... bad bad move.. 

With Wazza, he has been guided, and disciplined under SAF, and it shows, yes he does have fire in his belly when he is on the pitch.... and i wouldnt change that for a milisecond... 

His conduct off the pitch is pretty much fantastic for a 22 year old who has £100k in his pocket each week.. 

There is similarities in Gazza and Wazza, both raw footballing talents, unpredictable, and score some sublime and amazing goals.. 

The difference is that Gazza will be remembered for his pissed up antics, being arrested in hotel rooms, known for beating his wife, and basically gone to pot.. 

Wayne Rooney under the guidance of United and SAF will be remembered as a pale faced scouser that lit up the OT stage everytime he graced it... and also for England... 

I honestly believe that by the time Wazza hangs up his boots in about 16 years... he will be up there with the likes of Sir Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Duncan Edwards... as an all time England Legend... 

With regards to him becoming a United legend... well ... in my eyes and majority of other reds... this kid is already a United legend.</description>
