[Shanks]

Just saaw a snippet on the news, said more later...

Wonder what he has done this time!

 

[donny1013]

so sad what has happened to Gazza. hope he can turn things around

Its so sad.

He was supposed to come over here as part of the Masters footy thing, but the PFA wouldn't sanction him travelling (as he is working as a footballer he has to be approved and they wouldn't do it as he is a proper nutter). He went to Dubai last year but only because Chrissy Waddle went with him and kept him on a tight leash, making sure he was able to get to press conferences, events, etc on time, or indeed at all.

Very, very sad.

 

[t79boy]

Anyone know what he did yet ?

 

[ChRiStOpHe]

Argh Paul... :-(

Hope he can eventually get some normality in his life. Get better soon, dude.

Shit. Thats bad news. Grabbing a porter round the throat and brandishing a steak knife?

Sounds like getting sectioned is the best thing for him.

Gazza held after incident

Thursday 21 Feb 2008
Former Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Paul Gascoigne has been arrested and sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
The 40-year-old ex-England international, who also counts Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough, Everton and Burnley among his former clubs, was detained following a report of a disturbance at a hotel in Gateshead on Wednesday night.

PAUL GASCOIGNE

A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "Police attended the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead yesterday evening after we received a report of concern for a 40-year-old man staying at the hotel.
"The man was detained under the Mental Health Act and no-one was injured during the incident."
Newcastle-born Gascoigne has a history of erratic behaviour during a 17-year career as a player and subsequent brief spell in management.
Last summer, he underwent emergency surgery on a perforated stomach ulcer after falling ill.

He was also arrested after an alleged assault on a press photographer in December 2005 after being sacked as Kettering Town manager following a 39-day tenure at the non-league club.

Oh dear poor old Gazza.

You could see it coming though, look at the hair and the smoking of the invisible cigarette :-(

 

[worcestersauce]

Terrible news this, it's always sad when someone succombs to the drink, I think that's what this is, not strictly a mental health thing as we would imagine but simple alcaholism.

I don't know for sure and I don't have any ITK but I believe it's that.

 

[DFF]

There's only two Paul Gascoignes!

 

[Mr-T]

In 1991 we beat the scum in the semi and had to win the cup for a hospitalised gazza - getting a strange deja-vu here...

 

[dj_stu]

so upsetting... will always be my footballing hero...

get well gazza!!

 

[Juande]

One of the greats, get well Gazza , i will always remember that semi and all the magical times i watched you down the lane

 

[Chatterbox1169]

All geniuses are touched with a bit of madness! It's a shame when it takes over.

 

[Netty]

Poor Gazza , hope he'll be ok, what a legend.

 

[Bonjour]

Come on lads. You've had your fun with the sectioning.

check out his hair in that link!

His hair might be the most tragic thing in this history.

Yes, a true Spurs hero/legend but mostly i find it very hard to feel sorry for people that fuck their lives up beyond recognizion....especially when all the ingrediens for success is handed to them.

BUT....things are definitely different if there's mental illness involved or something like that.

Personally i feel mostly sorry for the kids. :-|

Get well soon Paul. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

You are one of the true gr8's
