Gazza said: ‘I go down the tunnel and Diego Maradona is standing there. I said, ‘Diego f***ing hell I’m p*ssed.’ He said, ‘It’s OK Gazza, so am I’[/caption]

They wanted him to star in a charity match alongside Diego Maradona but it would have meant him missing a vital league clash with Juventus.

So in a fit of anger he flew to Paris, got drunk and ended up brawling with Mickey, Pluto and Donald Duck.

The former Tottenham and England star recounted the hilarious story at “An Evening with Gazza” at Newcastle’s 02 City Hall.

He told the 2,000-strong audience: “I played a game against Milan and I scored and got man of the match.

“We had a game the next Sunday and the manager said, ‘Gazza you’re not playing’.

“He said, ‘The president wants you to play against Diego Maradona in Seville in a friendly on Tuesday’.

“I said, ‘Am I f***. I am playing against Juventus.’

“So you know what I did? I f** off to EuroDisney on my own.

“All I can remember is I headbutted Mickey Mouse, kicked Pluto up the a***, and had a fight with Donald Duck.

“My dad said to me, ‘F*** EuroDisney? Go and play that game’.”

Gazza had a change of heart and caught a flight to Seville for the November 1992 match which ended 1-1 and was hoping for a £120,000 pay day.

He had the audience in fits of laughter as he told how he downed more drinks on the plane and said: “I got to the dressing room and the lads knew I was p*ssed. “

“I go down the tunnel and Diego Maradona is standing there.

“I said, ‘Diego f***ing hell I’m p*ssed.’ He said, ‘It’s OK Gazza, so am I.’

“I don’t know how but I scored a f***ing unbelievable goal.

“I did the press conference which didn’t go down too well.

“Lazio then said they weren’t giving me 120 grand, they were taking 40 grand from my wages.

“You know what I did? I f** off to the airport and went back to EuroDisney.”

Gazza, who scored six goals in 43 appearances with Lazio, made a quip that he was only drinking water before the show.

He told the audience: “By the way this is water so if you want to take a photo you’ll make f** all from the newspapers.

“And if you do, we’ll go halfers.”
