by Of the famous ‘Gazza’ that lifted English fans out of their seats during the ’90s, only memories remain. Well, because their football served to fuel the hope of a title that never came for that generation of the ‘Three Lions’. But today they are footprints in the sand dragged by the unforgiving passage of time and an addiction that Paul Gascoigne has been fighting against for half his life.
LIVING WITH YOUR REPRESENTATIVE
The legendary British footballer opened up in an interview with the ‘High Performance’ portal, revealing details about the hell he is experiencing and the umpteenth opportunity he is looking for with the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings: “I used to be a happy drunk. And I’m not. I’m a sad drunk. I don’t go out drinking, I drink inside the house“.
Of course, you can’t do it in theirs. ‘Gazza’ also commented who currently lives in the home of his representative, Katie Davieson the south coast of England, having lost its properties due to alcohol.
Gascoigne made 57 appearances for his country and starred for a host of teams including Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio and Rangers. With great vision and technique, He was a semi-finalist in the European Championship and the World Cup, but he was never able to lift the international trophy that he dreamed of so much.
At 56 years old, Paul commented that there are still people looking to help: “It’s not the drink, it’s the after. After looking at my phone and seeing 30 messages or missed calls, I know I’m in trouble. But they are people who love me.”
And he insists that he will continue fighting: “I never give up. I think the moment I will give up will be when I am in a wooden box. Other than that, I will continue fighting,” she said.
