Film Review: from World Cup glory to abuse and excess, the Gazza documentary holds nothing back

Paul Gascoigne: the centre of a documentary that views his legacy through the eyes of friends and colleagues
★★★★☆
There is, as they used to sing, only one (15A). Sampson Collins’ documentary on the life (so far) of Paul Gascoigne offers little new in terms of Gazza’s football brilliance — for many years he was ‘England’s brightest football hope’ — but instead seeks to shine a light on Gascoigne’s private life, and the many ways in which his on-field genius was fragile edifice built on very shaky foundations.
