Paul Gascoigne

Gazza was found pissed on the floor by a friend but after treatment is ok again this morning. Hangover sorted!
 
A troubled soul. Hope he makes it through, although people with demons, like him, have their limits. Shame.
For his sake it would have been best if whiskey nose ended up signing him. Many believe he would have stopped him going down the pan. Who knows?

Can't imagine it would have helped

There was a big drinking culture even at the rags then with the likes of Robson. The talk of Ferguson keeping everyone on the straight and narrow is nonsense.

Robson was a massive pisshead even at Boro when he was manager. He was found passed out drunk on a roundabout two days before Boro played in the FA cup final. He had all his drinking mates join Boro too. So I can't imagine when he was a big influence on the rag team in the early 90s that they were gonna look after gazza.
 
There was the story doing the rounds that Robson, unable to contain himself. pissed in a taxi, err when he was pissed. Compensated the taxi driver with 50 quid, which was a decent amount in his era. Think Paul McGrath would have stayed longer at United if Ferguson wasn't the manager! The tale about Ferguson supposedly knowing EVERY nightclub doorman (person) in Greater Manchester, always seemed a bit far fetched to me! Whiteside had a bit of a reputation and Mark Hughes I was told, used to drink in a non descript boozer (probably Holts or Boddingtons) just off Bury New Road, not too far from the city centre, presumably to stay 'under the radar'.

Think he still has same problem, no off button once he starts. Last time I was in city centre drinking he was being carried out by 2 mates senseless.

Got to be the biggest myth in British football. Gascoine is a prick. Nobody would fix that

Friendship Inn on Scholes Lane ? Holts, probably still less than £1 a pint back then.

Imagine any footballer from City or United drinking in a Holts pub today!

Even worse, Holts bitter for those of us who remember, could be very tempremental back then, and the lager was absolute shite, Holtenbrau or Regal...and Boddingtons was excellent..any sense they woulda hit the boddies pubs...The priory was quite upmarket, and obv was full of local...talent.

Gazza quoted Giggsy shagging his brothers wife, Cantona kicking fans and Rooney shagging grannys when asked if United and Fergie would have kept him on the straight and narrow.

Has a self destruct button unfortunately…..brilliant footballer and a joy to watch on his day
 
It's so sad that Gazza can not beat the demons and again is found unconscious.
Nobody can help people like Gazza, So many have tried and been let down time and time again.
It's a bad illness, no amount of treatment can help if you lack the willpower to fight it head-on yourself

Get well soon Gazza and please sort your head out
