bawan 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne has been fined over a drunken disturbance in Newcastle. The 42-year-old was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in the Jesmond area of the city in the early hours. He was taken into custody and later received a fixed-penalty notice, said Northumbria Police. The ex-Newcastle and Tottenham player has faced a long battle with alcohol, and last year was detained twice under the Mental Health Act. In a BBC interview earlier this year, he said he had been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and claimed to have been clean of drink or drugs for four months. Gifted midfielder He said: "In the past every time I left rehab I thought I'm going to have a drink and I had no thought of that this time. "I am a different Paul now." Gascoigne began his career at Newcastle in 1985, and in 1988 transferred to Tottenham for £2.3m, having played 99 games and scored 25 goals. He shot to fame during the 1990 World Cup in Italy, when he helped England to the World Cup semi-finals. The gifted midfielder retired in 2004, after which his addiction to drugs and alcohol spiralled out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo 23 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 FFS, they should really ban him from any pub and off licence because there's only going to be one result from this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an alchy wants drink there's always one way or another to get it bud, sadly though I think you're right, sooner or later they'll find him floating in the Tyne or some such.

I think the insinuation was (and has been on numerous times on here before) that he'd jump in deliberately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty 0 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I was the fanzine editor at Kettering Town during his fateful 39 days at the club. It was SCARY to see the number in the outarage. "Advisors", "friends", "colleuges"! Where are they now! The guy needs to be locked up until it's 100% out of his system. And if that means he'll remain confined forever apart from the odd outing at big events and to switch the odd set of christmas lights on, then so be it. Before he does any further harm to himself OR the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! its the only way, I agree with him tbh, hes only really doing himself at the moment but eventually he will hurt someone else, badly or kill himself (either on purpose or accidentally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
