Bryan Robson recounts Gascoigne tale

The Reds legend showed off jerseys from his international debut against the Republic of Ireland in 1980 and the World Cup meeting with the Netherlands a decade later.

The game against Holland proved to be his last in Italia 90 as he suffered an Achilles problem that ruled him out of the rest of the tournament, while Bobby Robson's team went on to reach the semi-finals.

Robbo again set the record straight regarding a story that appeared in Paul Gascoigne's autobiography about his injury and subsequent spell on the sidelines.

“It was an unbelievable disappointment in 1990 for me,” he told us.
