Dentist Chair. Vs Scotland at Wembley. England's last transcendent tournament moment.
Paul Gascoigne's "Dentist Chair" celebration after scoring against Scotland at Euro 96 — lying back with teammates pouring water into his mouth, recreating a controversial pre-tournament photo — was both a provocation and a self-parody. It was performed at Wembley with 76,000 fans present and broadcast to 100 million across Europe. The goal itself — a Cruyff turn and volley — was exquisite. Gascoigne at Euro 96 was England's last transcendent tournament moment and that celebration its most vivid image.
