A true genius of the game, Paul Gascoigne's incredible talents with the ball at his feet were unmatched in England during his prime years. Beginning his career at Newcastle United, Gazza would capture the imagination of the British public with his incredible skills and physical attributes.

Gascoigne would go on to become the talisman of the England national team, and the image of him in tears after receiving a yellow card in the 1990 World Cup semi-final, meaning that if England would have advanced he would have been unable to play, has become ingrained in the British sporting consciousness.

The former England midfielder has been through some well-publicised struggles in his personal life since his retirement from football in 2004, and an Icon card in FIFA 21 would serve to commemorate Gazza at his iconic, unplayable best.
