Paul Gascoigne
The build-up to England’s Euro 96 challenge was overshadowed as pictures of players on a drunken night out prior to the tournament hit the press.

When Gascoigne scored against Scotland, he lay down and beckoned teammates to mimic the pictures by squirting water into his mouth.

As some Liverpool players enjoyed a night out in Portugal prior to a Champions League tie at Barcelona in 2007, a drunken argument got out of hand as Craig Bellamy later hit teammate John Arne Riise with a golf club.
