Guest dan tanner Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This is probably a daft idea but with KK offering to help out with Gazza i wonder if the Toon would allow Gazza to help out with the youngsters at training but i know with him being daft as a brush he might have a disruptive influence or it could help sort him out and they will have a laugh with him . :That could possibly be the worst idea ever :crazy2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It may not be that daft an idea. There is nothing Gazza couldn't teach a kid in regards to demonstration, a big process of coaching kids. Where as role model wise, what better person to preach to kids how not to live your life and waste what you have. But what kids really need is someone who can relate to them and their football which is all about fun, freedom of expression and individualism, not to mention passion and enthusiasm. I think on that level Gazza would be great with kids. I've seen all kinds of coaching, and let me tell you kids don't need half the things they are subjected to, especially in professional academies. The best coaches are the ones who are big kids themselves, who have huge amounts of enthusiasm and passion for the game, coaches who let kids be kids. The only problem would be communication, the single most important factor between coach and kid. Could Gazza communicate to a kid? I think so. Gazza would be perfect. Academy kids would love him.

The Bonk Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It's pretty easy to rip on Gazza, but having had some people close to me lose it mentally, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Get better, Gazzer, for yourself and nobody else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look man, get real. He's in a mental institution. It's a big leap from that situation to teaching other people's kids about anything. Local solidarity has it's limits.

Guest LucaAltieri Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Whilst dining in the prestigious Bedford Arms Hotel in Woburn with a few of his Geordie mates, decided to place his erect member on the shoulder of a diner at the next table. Thinking someone had tapped him on theshoulder the gentleman turned his head only to have Gazza's helmet prod him in the cheek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was behind the goal that day, he was squeezing his nuts all game, I think the ref was the only person who didn't know what was going on, blind bastard, we were going mad at him.

Guest jcricthon Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The man is a great. Not only an amzing footballer but THE friendliest person I've met and many others I know who have met him agree. I lived in a pub my parents owned about 17/18 years ago in a small village in Northumberland which I will not name and Gazza came to stay with 5-bellies and another couple of mates (me being 6 at the time I can only recall what I have been told). This small, quaint pub did not provide bed or breakfast...or even beds (unlike a couple of other pubs 2 seconds walk up the road) but the gang decided to sleep on the benches and stay in the pub for a long weekend because of the company, the beers and the domino's (the game not the pizza). I do recall one day Gazza sitting outside with a pint with his mates and a football came flying his way from the park across the road. Two lads came up chasing the ball and on seeing Gazza spotted in amazement (possibly saying 'Fuck me its Gazza'). Gazza then proceeded to pick up the ball, acquire a pen, sign the ball for the lads then hold the ball out towards them, offering it back to them. As the lads walked across the road Gazza then decided to kick the ball down the road....a hill, with a bridge over the tyne at the bottom of it. He was also picked up at about midnight one night by my mother, walking along the A69 back to the afore mentioned village from Hexham where he had spent the night drinking. He was great company. Everyone remembers his stay and the times he revisited, the conversations and drinks they had with him, the VAST number of autographs and pictures he gave up his social time for and his humble approach to his status and what he wanted to do with his time. He always knew he was just a normal fella, with great ability with a football and never thought of this as meaning he was higher up than anyone in anything. Hope he gets better soon, he deserves better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Paul Gascoigne was spending £2,000 a day on cocaine (before he was taken into hospital) but threw away most of it! According to The Mirror he was: "buying 35 lines of coke, the total of his favourite numbers 16 and 19. "He would sort the drug into 35 strips but snort only the 16th and 19th - a slave to his obsessive compulsive disorder - and throw the rest away." When taken into custody last week he was so druck/drugged he told officers the IRA and the "White House" were "after him". He is under care at the Middleton St George Hospital near Darlington, Co Durham, where he is detained under the Mental Health Act. He was detained after incidents at the Marriot Hotel close to his home in Dunston, Gateshead, and the Malmaison in Newcastle. Staff said he was drunk, appeared naked and walked around with plastic parrots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 HERE IS THE SCUM LATEST SCOOP (should be dog shite containment ) TORMENTED footie idol Paul Gascoigne left a psychiatric unit last night, three weeks after being sectioned. England legend Gazza, 40, was picked up by sister Lindsay and driven to his dad’s before moving to a secret location. An onlooker said: “He looked frail and staggered to the car. It was a really sad sight.” The former Newcastle and Spurs ace had been held under the Mental Health Act after his bizarre antics worried staff at Newcastle’s Malmaison Hotel. He had taken to answering the door naked with “MAD” scrawled on his forehead, and would wander around the hotel with squawking toy parrots. Gazza was taken to the secure Middleton St George Hospital near Darlington, Co Durham, where he was treated by psychiatrists, therapists and nurses. His condition was so bad it was feared he might face electro-shock treatment. Talent Last night a source revealed: “When he arrived he was high as a kite and had six bags of cocaine on him. He was obnoxious and drunk. “Towards the end he rarely left his room and didn’t mix much with the other patients. “He just lay on his bed all day eating biscuits. “Then he’d ask if you wanted his autograph and say he wanted to play football. It’s very sad.” Advertisement Gazza won the hearts of the nation when he famously burst into tears during England’s 1990 World Cup semi-final. His career descended into booze, drugs and marriage woes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 This is probably a daft idea but with KK offering to help out with Gazza i wonder if the Toon would allow Gazza to help out with the youngsters at training but i know with him being daft as a brush he might have a disruptive influence or it could help sort him out and they will have a laugh with him . Why do we want someone with serious mental health worries working at NUFC? In what way do NUFC have to be an integral part of his recovery? I fail to understand why folk put this option forward. Shouldn't it be Spurs who help his recuperation - after all there money was more important than ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
