I suppose if Paul Gascoigne had died at the start of 1991 he might have been remembered with similar regard as Duncan Edwards. At 23 he was one of the best players in the world and had been named in the world cup team of the tournament, he'd also just won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. And he'd got to #2 in the charts!

We'd never have had the spate of injuries which cost him his form, his drink and drug problems and of course the good old wife beating. All he'd be remembered for is being a fantastic footballer and scoring ridiculous numbers of goals from midfield. That would be nice.
