During his playing days, Paul Gascoigne and authority tended to mix about as well as oil and water.
The former England geniuss managers, club officials and even family members would often try and rein in the midfielder, but Gazza was never one for rules.
Gazza recalls his Boro bus prank
Gazzas love for mischief and mayhem was legendary, with his Boro bus stunt a perfect example.
At Middlesbrough, I drove the team bus out of the garage, but that lasted about 100 yards, he recalls to FourFourTwo.
Bryan Robson was like, Gazza, wheres the bus? I said. Its in the f**king trees, gaffer, its f**ked. He said, Gazza, thats a �400,000 bus
Gazzas former England team-mate should have known that he had form in this matter.
I ended up driving a London bus once, too, Gazza continues. I drove it down the road, singing, Were all going on a summer holiday.
Id told my dad Id go to London and behave myself I got to my hotel room and thought, Thank God my dad didnt see that.
But then I turned Sky News on and they said, Apparently, 20 minutes ago, Paul Gascoigne was seen
That was it, my phone went and it was my dad going, F**king hell, you stupid bastard, youre never going to learn, are you?
I said, No, I dont think so!
