Paul Gascoigne angered Sir Alex Ferguson by snubbing Man United over a sunbed
Not long after Gazza burst onto the scene, the biggest clubs in England wanted him and United seemed in pole position to land himHowever, he also admitted he worried about game time due to the presence of Bryan Robson and Neil Webb at Old Trafford.The manager had wanted him almost as soon as he took over at United in 1986.
A year into his reign, he was playing for relegation-threatened Newcastle - his boyhood club - in the First Division.

His move to Lazio in 1992 didn't work out either, though he had success at Rangers in 1995 and was part of England's Euro 96 semi-finalists.
