Psycho Pat: Legend or Madman? Pat Van Den Hauwe launches his sensational autobiography
'This is not one of the usual ex-footballer's autobiographies you may have come across!' writes Pat Van Den Hauwe. in the introduction to 'Psycho Pat.' The Everton cult hero is true to his word, as Echo readers will discover over the next three days.[LNB]AT LEAST once a month my wife will wake me up from a nightmare that I often have.[LNB]It's not just a bad dream but a real situation that I found myself in, a situation that to this day makes me weep.[LNB] If I gave you numerous guesses you would probably go for the likes of why did I let Norman Whiteside cut inside and get a shot in on goal that cost Everton the treble?[LNB]If you thought the sight of Whiteside running past me celebrating as I dropped to my knees in despair prevented me from sleeping you would be wrong.[LNB]Another favourite would be why did I not get a grip of Gazza early on in the Cup Final a few years later?[LNB]Maybe a senior pro like myself or Gary Lineker could have calmed him down and prevented him from making that horrendous tackle, a tackle that left him screaming in agony, one that almost ended his career.[LNB]Is it the image of Gazza screaming in agony that made me shout out in my sleep? No it is not.
