QPR boss bids to help troubled Paul Gascoigne

Harry Redknapp has offered an open invitation to Paul Gascoigne to help out with coaching his young players at QPR as he voiced concern for the former England midfielder’s health.

The 47-year-old has a long history of problems with alcohol, and is said to have been taken away by emergency services from his home in Dorset on Thursday.

Pictures published yesterday showed Gascoigne looking frail and gaunt, almost unrecognisable from his days turning out for the likes of Tottenham and Newcastle.
