Good effort, Gazza

Good effort, Gazza

Tottenham Hotspur drew their season to a close with a nine-goal thriller at Wembley this afternoon. They went 1-0 down courtesy of a Jamie Vardy goal in the fourth minute, and after an entire match of end to end action, emerged 5-4 victors. This win secured a third place finish, with Liverpool behind them in fourth and Chelsea missing out on Champions League football.

In the build up to this game, fans were told to expect a big half-time guest. And who better to cap off the season than Spurs and England legend Paul Gascoigne? Gazza was interviewed at half-time in front of the packed out Wembley and was warmly received by the fans.

He’s always been someone who’s up for a laugh and not afraid to make a slight fool of himself, and with the same cheeky grin that he had as a player, performed ‘the floss’ in front of the Wembley crowd.

The dance is a celebration from the online game Fortnite, and has become a bit of a cultural phenomenon. Dele Alli recently did it as a goal celebration after scoring against Manchester United. Gascoigne did not execute it with Dele’s rhythm or swagger, but he made a good effort. Feast your eyes on this.
