Throwback To The Time Paul Gascoigne Brought An Ostrich To Tottenham Training

Throwback To The Time Paul Gascoigne Brought An Ostrich To Tottenham Training

The most Gazza thing ever?!

Paul Gascoigne is a character. He remains of the most gifted players ever to play for England and there genuinely never a dull moment when he was around.

For how naturally talented and skilled he was on the pitch when playing for the likes of Newcastle, Spurs, Lazio, Rangers and England, he was completely and utterly bonkers off it.

And of the best cases when his absurdity was on display was when he decided to bring an ostrich to training when he was playing for Spurs, because why not?

Somehow, Gazza got permission to take the animal from a zoo and drove to training with it in his career before showing off to his teammates during warm-ups.

He told the story in a chat with Clare Balding. Check it out in the following clip:

Only Gazza could and would do such a thing. We wonder if he ever brought chicken and lager to training at all?
