9. Paul Gascoigne 1988-1992
Sadly, Gazza’s time with Spurs is mostly remembered for his rash challenge on Nottingham Forrest defender Gary Charles in the 1991 FA Cup final, but Newcastle’s finest enjoyed a four year spell that saw him wrack up over 100 appearances.
Probably the best dribbler of his day, had only someone been able to tame him and help him build on the form he showed for the club upon his return from the 1990 World Cup he perhaps wouldn’t have spent the final year of his time with the club in the treatment room. Sold to Lazio in 1992, he now continues to battle alcohol addiction.
