RIP. That’s what took my dad and a very good friend. 😔
 
RIP

65 is no age especially where I'm sitting at 64. Very sad.
 
He was Paul Gascoigne's mentor at Newcastle and Spurs. Lazio employed him to look after Gazza after he had signed for them.
It all went tits up, when soon after recovering from his Cup final injury Gazza flew back to Newcastle, got pissed, ended up in a fight and fvcked up his knee again.

When Roeder found out, he brought his family home from Italy and resigned.

Gszza's father and family took over and the rest is history.

RIP

Sad to see that ex Leeds United player Peter Lorimer is in a hospice.
