Dubbed by many as the 'English Pele' during his playing days, Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne was one of the most technically gifted players of the 90s. After retiring in 2004 he quickly got on with his desire for coaching, taking charge of regional side Kettering Town a year later.

Although his appointment brought spectators, media attention and much-needed sponsors to the club, Gazza couldn't bring results on the pitch. To make matters worse he got into a feud with the club's owner over his alleged 'over interference' in team matters. He was ultimately shown the door after only 39 days in charge. The owner's side of the story cited unprofessionalism on Gazza's part, accusing him of repeatedly turning up drunk at work. The gig also turned out to be his last in the coaching sphere.

Sadly unlike others, Gascoigne didn't distance himself with coaching on his own terms but because of his struggles with addiction and alcoholism, jumping several rehabs over the years since.
