description: "Paul John Gascoigne, nicknamed Gazza, is an English former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. Regarded as one of the best playmakers of his generation and one of the best English footballers of all time, Gascoigne is described by the National Football Museum as \"widely recognised as the most naturally talented English footballer of his generation\". Gascoigne was immensely popular during his playing career, with television broadcaster Terry Wogan calling him \"probably the most popular man in Britain today\" in September 1990, and public interest in and adoration for him came to be known as \"Gazzamania\"."
