How much money must we waste on him? Other people have problems, he will of had help and guidance all his life Screw him
i read his autobiography and he seemed obsessed with firing airguns at peoples bums came across as a very stupid man, maybe others see it different to me but with 100 times the skill and talent of beckham just look at their career paths, beckham made the most of what he had gazza just wasted his not inconsiderable talent, all seems very sad but he cant blame anyone but himself.
Not me. Felt sorry for him at first but can`t find any sympathy now after all the chances he`s blown.
Think he might end up in the clink or sectioned this time, tbf the latter should have happened after raul moat
Probably the most talented english footballer I've seen play in my time but to be honest, I'm ****ing tired of reading about him in recent years. He has had all the support and help anyone could ever want to help him beat alcoholism, more than many who do beat it who don't have his money and publicity, yet seems hell bent on self destruction. I don't give a **** about him anymore tbh.
Get a vet to put him to sleep. He's a nutter. ^ like above how many chances does this bloke want/need.
Gazza had everything and pissed it up the wall (literally) all this rehab **** hasn't worked for him at all so go the cold turkey route. How come when a "celeb" ****s up or does something along these lines they go to rehab when Joe Public goes to jail. As said I used to feel for the lad earlier but not anymore.
this.. the guys a ****ing knacker with zero respect for himself or anyone else. **** 'im. the rags need to stop giving him attention.
Not for me a man who beats his wife is a coward he has had help all his life How many chances do you give a man
