It's Paul Gascoigne's birthday and there's no better way to celebrate than recalling the time that he pooped in Gennaro Gattuso's socks, just to welcome him to Rangers.
For most people, getting on the wrong side of Gattuso would seem like a life threatening decision, such was the Italian's reputation for crunching challenges.

Of course to Gazza, the former AC Milan midfielder was a teammate and, perhaps more importantly, just someone else for him to pull a prank on.
Gattuso joined Rangers as a 19 year old from Perugia in 1997, when the Gers had just won their ninth title in a row, and was soon introduced to the England international.
Speaking in an interview on YouTube with 2Angry Men the Italian revealed how on day one of his time in Britain he was taking a shower when his new teammate Paul Gascoigne decided to defecate in his sock. Speaking about the incident Gattuso said:
"During my first day in Glasgow, Gascoigne s*** in my socks.
"He did it when I went into the shower. I came back and there was a foul stench.

"He came up with something every day."
Gazza has had his issues down the years but everyone is very happy to see the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder doing much better these days.

The 54-year-old recently appeared on the Italian version of I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here, having played in Italy with Lazio, and looked in fantastic shape on arrival.
Sir Alex Ferguson recently revealed in an exclusive interview with SPORTbible that Gazza was the one player he wished he'd had the chance to manage.
No sure Roy Keane would have taken sh*t in his sock quite as well as Gattuso did.
