Its really sad to see that it has come to this.
No matter what you might say, the guy was a talented player who didnt have the advisers to keep him sane. (George Best was another)
A true "Character" who found himself at the mercy of other more unsavoury people.
Hope he can sort himself out. (But I doubt it).

How come it's only the skillful players that get lauded as they drink themselves to death? What about Gary Charles? Remember him? The guy whose knee Gascoigne tried to turn inside out in the 91 cup final, yet in a moment of pure justice fecked his own up instead. Gary Charles is a former England international too, Gary Charles is now a hopeless alcoholic too, a hopeless alcoholic that's served 12 months for a public order offence whilst serving a suspended sentence whilst pissed.
Do I hear the likes of you apologists rallying round for the likes of Gary Charles? No. Maybe if he'd have twatted his Mrs a time or two then he might win your sort over, and of course, had he been a bit more skillful.

Meanwhile According to the BBC, there's no show without punch...

Keegan supports the Gazza sectioning.

Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan says the sectioning of Paul Gascoigne under the Mental Health Act is a good thing for the ex-footballer and his family.
As a Newcastle apprentice in the 1980s, Gascoigne used to clean Keegan's boots and the current St James' Park boss is hopeful for the 40-year-old's future.

"Having talked with his father and sister, this is the best thing that could have happened for him," he said.

"I think it's a very positive thing in the life of Paul Gascoigne."

Keegan offers Gazza help

"If he's so deluded and living on past glories with unreasonable expectations that it's becoming more tragic than comic, he'll fit right in at Newcastle United."

Gazza for NUFC manager? The messiah part 2?

On a radio interview the other day, Gordon Taylor, though he spoke with some sympathy, basically said "... we've tried ... we've given him every opportunity ... but he always fails to take them ... it's very sad, but no sadder than lots of others who have had far less opportunity ... at least if he's sectioned he won't be asble to walk out like he normally does".

Interesting ... but now I realise Bruce Rioja IS Gordon Taylor !!

Personally I never got the "let's sympathise with him" stuff. Any more than I did with the George Best apologists. Talented wasters ... but wasters nonetheless.

... and he should have been sent-off whilst lying on the Wembley turf with his knee fecked in 1991.

Kinda related -

I have a Kristofferson CD, where he introduces a song called "The last thing to go" as follows

The former world Champion Willie Pep described a boxers life as

The first thing to go is your legs
Then its your balance
Then its your friends

These days its not just boxers who have armies of hangers on and fair weather friends.
In days gone by, Shankly used to try to persuade his stars to get married young - and ensure they had a stable home life. He thought that working class lads, many miles from home, surrounded by adulation needed a "family" to support them, and pull them back from inevitable temptations.
From what Gordon Strachan has said, Fergie tried the same at Aberdeen. (Not appreciated by Strachan!!!!!!!!!!)

Unwarranted interference, or trying to protect their charges (maybe from themselves)???

Are Fergie's "agents run players lives" comments related? Has he (for once) got a point?

Stan Collymore says there are loads of players with similar problems who don't get the publicity.
Michael Rickets anyone????

Not saying it would have helped, but he should have been sent off and pilloried for that, instead he got endless sympathy. Playing for Rangers didn't help him either, as he got away with murder up there, sheltered by the protection that Rangers always get.

Ultimately, as Taylor seems to intimate, probably there is just nothing that could have helped, he is basically just too thick to know any better.

Fraid I'm with the "non-sympathetic" guys on this. Being a celebrity and having money is no excuse for behaving like a total idiot. They do it to themselves then, then shouldn't cry about it or expect sympathy when the bubble bursts.. Gazza has made a carreer of being in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. His choice. It's called life.

Rioch was the same at Bolton.

As for Gazza, it's been obvious for a while that the man has mental problems - as in psychological, not "I'm a nutter". I'd guess he needs some serious medication and he needs to take it, as opposed to thinking drinking will help. Be interesting to see if he's on an enforced 28-day lock-up, having been sectioned; that could help him dry out, but as soon as he walks through the gates he'll be surrounded by marketing for society's favourite drug.

May I take this opportunity to unreservedly apologise for wishing him a speedy recovery.
Had I know before hand that it was not allowed then I wouldnt have done it.
I would now like to state that I hope he rots in Hell.

Happy Now ?????

Bit harsh davro

I would have wished a speedy recovery to any ex player in this position, not Just Gazza.
Had it been Gary Charles, then I would have wished him the same.
Its what "My Sort" do.

I wasn't having a go at you personally, Davro (despite how it reads, sorry). What I'm saying is that there's this culture of wishing great players a full recovery and damn the rest. For me, the minutes applause for George Best (in which I selected the option to keep my hands in my pockets) was nothing short of a national embarrassment.
