Gascoigne & Maradona
If it was the other Charlton, I may have considered voting Double Pom.

 Only Englishman to vote for Diego so far I think. To be fair I was not alive in 1986 so you can blame my parents for not bringing me up right. |

Kahn was the star player in 2002. Gazza can't possibly compete. Goalkeepers and Germans need more love. Maradona

Then again, Gazza was good in 1990, which was possibly worse. Abstain & Maradona.

Gascoigne was arguably (and with apologies to Milla and Baggio) the most exciting player on display tho.

Gazza's been written into World Cup folklore so I can understand voting for him on the basis of his legendary status. But I've always found the tears nothing other than horribly cringeworthy. Just like the man.
And Kahn was superhuman in 2002. Have never, ever seen any keeper perform as well as he did during that tournament. |

Gascoigne clearly always had problems, but he was an amzing footballer and 90 was his zenith. |

Gazza joins the Banks of England as Albion representatives in round 2, but the fat drug-abusing serial cheater ousts Big Jack.
