Paul Gascoigne's Dentist Chair — Euro 96

Dentist Chair. Vs Scotland at Wembley. England's last transcendent tournament moment.

Paul Gascoigne's 'Dentist Chair' celebration at Euro 96 remains one of the most self-aware moments in England tournament history. After a moment of individual brilliance against Scotland — flicking the ball over Colin Hendry's head with a Cruyff turn before volleying it in — Gascoigne lay back while teammates poured water into his mouth, recreating a controversial pre-tournament photo of the squad on a night out at a Hong Kong bar. The goal and celebration became one of the defining English images of that tournament.
