GAZZA: I can beat the booze
The ex-Tottenham Hotspur favourite, whose legacy on the pitch has been overshadowed by alcohol and drug attractions since retiring a decade ago, was treated in hospital in Dorset when he suffered a relapse last week after spending the previous seven months clean.
Gascoigne, 46, known as Gazza, told the Sunday Mirror he did not want sympathy or pity ā and was determined to stop drinking.
