Paul Gascoigne frequently clashed with authority and resisted rules throughout his career. He admitted to driving the Middlesbrough team bus out of the garage and only getting about 100 yards before it ended up in trees. Manager Bryan Robson confronted him about the damaged vehicle and highlighted its £400,000 cost. Gascoigne also recounts joyriding a London bus down a road while singing, then watching Sky News report the sighting. His father reacted angrily over the phone, telling him he would never learn. Gascoigne earned 57 England caps during his playing days.
