It's sad to see, and I'm not sure what the answer is.  I could only recommend what worked for me and that was AA, which I'm sure he's tried extensively.

 

What I personally had in my favour that he seemingly hasn't - not being in the public eye like he is (other than the Posters In Public thread), a supportive and non-judgemental support network, a necessity for routine to keep a roof over my head.

 

It seems as though there's been this big void in his life since football ended and he's struggled badly to fill it.  Hope he can find some peace in his life because he's probably been in and out of hell mentally for decades now.

Appearing on Jake Humphrey's High Performance podcast. Must say he's looking remarkably well.

Not sure about the looking well bit. I used to play school football against him/same year and he looks about twenty years older than me!

ā€˜People know Paul Gascoigne but Gazza, no one knows. Even me sometimes. I've spent a lot of years being down, when I did my ligaments and then my kneecap, I missed four years of football. I would've got 100 caps (for Englandā€™
 

Worth remembering that the tackle which did the damage was completely self-inflicted, it was a leg-breaker and could have ended Gary Charlesā€™s career rather than putting Gascoigne out for an extended period.

Walked past him a few times in Washington with that lass.

Went to the primary care unit the first time, kept an eye out once the double take kicked in cos he's just a frail old bloke now as it would be surreal if he lived near me and we could hang out.
