- Given the major impact he made at the 1990 World Cup finals, it's easy to forget how close Paul Gascoigne came to not being selected for the tournament. His performance in this entertaining friendly win against the Czechs at Wembley in April 1990 finally sealed his place in Bobby Robson's squad, with Steve Bull doing likewise with a couple of goals.

I do not understand how Steve Bull never went onwards. He was a shining light that seemingly went out.
Yeah, he definitely earned his place on the plane to Italy, but he didn't really do much else unfortunately. I do recall him missing a glorious chance against the Dutch in our second group game. What might have been.
Mighty Steve Bull
Ron Saunders about Steve Bull "His first touch is crap". Graham Turner about Steve Bull "His first touch is crap ... his second touch is in the back of the net".
The Bully and Gazza show :-)
All of England's goals are immaculate. They are classics.
Steve Bull.. WHAT A SUPERB STRIKE.. FANTASTIC HEADER.. Good touch to Robson for what should have been a penalty, great football... should have scored at least four.. Oooo BULLY BULLY..
That move between him and Robson was lovely, could have been a fine goal.
Shows how the game has changed. Gazza would have been sent off after that challenge at the start, and it would have killed the game dead if it was today.
I agree 100 percent.
NoMoreHideTheBall And this is the easy game Messi and CR7 play today to be scoring so much
Gazza wouldn't get sent off now but he would probably get a yellow, just as he should have back then. Challenges like that were and are rightfully bookable.
He put in two similar ( but worse ) challenges against Forest in the F.A.Cup final in 91 but because he injured himself in the process ( and because the ref hadn't booked him for the first one ) he got carried off injured rather than sent off. The narrative changed from what should have been - Gazza let us down, to what happened - let's do this for Gazza.
There were these two sides to his game. Undoubtedly the most talented player of that generation and we haven't really seen the like of him since. Still, he could also be a liability at times.
@@annandune Yep he went in with too much aggression and a lack of precision, no doubt that had been encouraged at some stage of his career and he felt he was showing committment to the team, but he was a danger to players, including himself as it turned out, when he did it. Some of his managers surely tried to get him out of the habit, but if they did so it was to no avail. It might have been better for him if he had been sent off in this game.
Should have been off, both feet off the ground and totally reckless.
If you're watching Ron Saunders? Thanks 4 practically GIVING us this genius. & do you remember saying "Steve Bull couldn't score goals at any level" Well he certainly proved you wrong on that point Ron. In fact Ronnie me boy, he made you look a bit of a title really didn't he? Nobby Stiles, as WBA 1st team coach could see the potential in him, so as WBA manager why couldn't you? NO WONDER THEY FUCKED YOU OFF THICKO
Skhuravy was a very good forward, a consistent scorer for Genoa (who he joined after Italia 90) for four or five seasons before he left them. In retrospect another Italian side should have picked him up when they saw how well he did for Genoa, but perhaps they were wise enough not to let him go.
Gascoigne on a different planet.
Gazza effectively booking his ticket for Italy. Glorious
This game proved he had the ability, the following friendly (vs Uraguay) proved he had the right temprement.
MitchelGant I'd agree with you- on the condition you can fly your MiG 31 over my house!!
Лучшиий матч Гаскойна за сборную, 3 голевых+ гол!
What a stunning player Gazza was back then - but the Czech marking on Bull, for our third goal, was just dreadful!!
a very good pass for Bull's first goal,,,yeah it wasn't bad
Oooo BULLY BULLY!
Davies must have been some goalkeeper blaming seaman for that free kick goal....gazza was some player...
'Gascoigne!!!!................Thank you very much.'
When mullets were real mullets. Respect Czechs.
No one did mullets better than the eastern europeans
Paul Gascoigne - what could have been......
Gazza the midfield General
davies was a bit harsh on seaman i thought, he was at full stretch.
Seaman check ya dates
?.. 9:55
jase brown It was Seaman....I didn't realise was playing for England then either. It must have been in his QPR days.
Yep, it was a good freekick.
Bull never played in the top flight in England as far as I know
He appeared twice for West Brom in the top division before we gave him away to wolverhampton!
Baggies 5468 At last. A Baggies fan with some sense. Thanks mate
Baggies 5468 Never knew that. Always thought he only played for Wolves. How Bull got more caps than David Hirst I will never know.
@@craigeast3682 because he was a far better player that’s why
00:36 DUBBLE RED CARD ☝🏻
NOT JUST ONCE
NEITHER YELLOW. 👏🏻
gazza was always gunna be on the plane to italia 90(bobby robsons owns words)regardless of this game.
Bully should have scored 4
Went to this match nearly all the so called England supporters were having a go at bully just because he played in third division.bloody snobby tossers it’s a shame he didn’t have a go at top level he would have very well but he was wolves through and through ,also liniker was the main man at the time and rightly so ,but will never forget bully for what he did for wolves
Penalty surely 😆
This game proves what a total wanker Gary Lineker really was.
How so?
Given that his goals (3 in 4 games) for England were not enough to secure a good run in team shows just how biased the media and hierarchy are in football. all because crybaby Lineker couldn't take the Black country handshake that Bully gave him for cheeking him.
Shilton was rubbish
