Gazza in hospital again

Poor bloke.

Quote:

Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne is in hospital after police were called to an incident at a hotel in west London.

Mr Gascoigne, 40, is reported to have agreed to go voluntarily, following the incident on Sunday.

Scotland Yard said they were no longer involved and no crime had been alleged.

The ex-player has battled with alcohol and health problems, and in February received treatment after being detained at a hotel under the Mental Health Act.

He was released from Middleton St George Hospital in Darlington after two weeks.

In this weekend's incident police were called to a four-star hotel in Knightsbridge.

In February, Mr Gascoigne was asked to leave Newcastle's Malmaison Hotel after a disturbance.

Later the same day he was detained by Northumbria Police at Gateshead's Hilton Hotel, when concern was raised about his behaviour.

In January 2005, Mr Gascoigne - nicknamed Gazza during his football career - was hospitalised with pneumonia and last year he underwent emergency surgery for a perforated stomach ulcer after being taken ill as he was celebrating his 40th birthday.

He was arrested for an alleged assault on a photographer outside a Liverpool city centre hotel in 2005. The charges were later dropped.

A former player with Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio, Glasgow Rangers and Middlesbrough, he was sacked after 39 days as manager of Kettering Town in 2005.

He was capped 57 times for England.

the hotel staff phoned the police before as he tried to order steak but without the stake just the knife and when the police arrived he was trying to commit suicide by drowning himself in the bath

This is a sad story.

The joys of watching him in Scotland

I fear he is circling the drain big Gazza is. Will be a sad day when he passes away.

I wonder where all his old 'mates' are now who egged him on and sponged off him for years, probably onto their latest meal ticket Mad

Unfortunately he is to far gone now. Personally I don't think there is any way of him recovering from all this, and it is a huge shame.

what a great comment.
If it was George Best you would be saying how good of a player he was and hoping he would get better.

It dosent matter who it is....Its always sad to see any great player in such a sorry state...

The same with Amy winehouse...She obviously has a talent for singing but is destroying herself.

I wish him a speedy recovery and hope his parents and family manage to sort him out.

I have the odd few, but he needs to stop drinking and taking stuff. I guess football was his life and its now gone.

Agree with these,it's a massive shame how an England legend and superb footballer can go downhill so rapidly,it's just like the George Best story all over again Crying or Very sad

I dont think it was money at all that ruined him, if you read his books he gave most of it away and it was never really the important thing for him.

Think it was more the pressure of fame, and his inner demons that drove him to release tat pressure in ways that arent positive.

I think a lot also is due to how he misses playing football so much too,he always said he misses it like crazy and that he's always bored since retiring

Where's his true mates , he needs them more than ever. It's a shame he can't stay off the booze and drugs , he's got talent there that could be put to good use in bringing through the youngster in football. Surely one of his old footie mates can help him. I think if he got job in football this would sort him out , give him something to live for.

he has had countless job opportunities and countless handouts and chances given to him that he simply does not deserve.

he has thrown all of them back into the faces of the do gooding employers.

he is a danger to himself and the general public and should be locked up and his assets frozen until he can be proven to function in a normal civilised manner. the fact he was good at football is neither here nor there.
