10 Biggest Radge Packets Ever To Play For Newcastle

2. Tino Asprilla

Some of the greatest and most creatively talented players in the history of football have had a bit of a screw loose, but Tino Asprilla went beyond all others in terms of his lunatic off-field behaviour. Thankfully Newcastle fans were mostly spared his problematic behaviour while he was on Tyneside - though he did like a social drink and a bit of a dance - but the stories of what he's done since, including "motivating" team-mates with a gun, several other gun related matters and posing naked twice for magazines and attempting to sign for Darlington. Tino is a special kind of Radge Packet - a different breed who appeared to be all sweetness and light on the pitch (bar a few aggressive moments), but who became a different thing entirely at home. Like Batman and Bruce Wayne but with more drugs, guns and impromptu bongo sessions in Newcastle night-clubs.
