He's trying his best...I'm not sure if he'll succeed.
I hope he does.
He needs more direction and focus/support. , a good woman .

If the guys alive in 3yrs il be stunned. I've got nothing against gazza, but ultimately the only thing that can alcoholism is willpower, which he appears to lack

He's on the PGA tour this year. That's the Paul Gascoigne Alcoholism tour.

Saw the title, and immediately thought "he must be dead".

We haven't had another Paul Gascoigne since Paul Gascoigne, 25 years and nobody who could make things happen and seemingly have a ball tied to his feet, ghosting past players and splitting defences with a sharp pass or just plainly running through them on his own, he reminded me of Ossie Ardiles how he just jinked around the pitch and showed up the less skilled players. His goal against Scotland in Euro 96 was typical of his talent but i remember the cup run to the final in 90 for Spurs when he scored a goal or two with the ball glued to him as he danced past defenders. Gazza was a one off and the national side hasn't seen a player like him since.

Dead right there isnt one! I feel sorry for him in a way because he cannot get away from the press no matter what he does. Half the stuff like today, wow he tipped a golf buggy over having a laugh, big deal. Also his alcholism, yes its bad but if he is to believed hes been sober for 90% of the last 10 years or so, little things trigger his mind where he resorts to his old ways. Players of his calibre from yesteryear dont get this none stop shite from the press like him and its only because he has chose to stick 2 fingers up at them from the start!

Gascoigne was an exceptional talent but could also be very frustrating. If he played now he'd be a figure of derision. No reflection on Gazza more a reflection on how society has changed.

I am beginning to think he is better off dead. If he was not a famous footballer he would just be a low life or scumbag who has wasted his life. There is no coming back from the situation he is in, and he will always lose his battle against alcohol.
If anyone else finds themselves in this situation, find a hobby you feel passionate about and direct your energy towards that instead of becoming a loser.

YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN DECISIONS, NOBODY ELSE! THERE IS NO BLAMING ANYONE ELSE IT IS YOUR DECISION ALONE.

I'm afraid you're right there Codeye, Gazza is a typical example of a high profile player who liked the beery trappings of life as a player but carried on when his career finished and it's all gone tits up. George Best is the best example but think of others like Paul McGrath. One lower example i can think of is the former Burnley striker Andy Payton who was a constant goalscoring pain in the arse against Stoke, he ended up getting in total shit when his career ended.

No one is better off dead. :-( I am not saying he deserves to die, but he is losing his battle against alcohol and it is solely his decision. He wants to do it and i imagine his family are going through hell on a daily basis. I feel sorry for them more than i do for him.

Some couple of insightful posts to Gazza as a player there that answered my question perfectly . Codeye, you shouldn't be saying he is better off dead. No one is. He needs help from loved ones who can get him through this. And I thought my McQueen comment was naff .

"He wants to do it" does he really? Ever battled alcoholism or drug addiction have we? The answer to that is no and because you havent is the reason you have no right to make such comments!
