That's true mate, and I don't profess to know everything because it's directly affected me either. I think every person will be different who is affected by certain conditions. I think there's enough evidence to say that Gascoigne suffered as a result of his circle of friends and his 'everybody look how stupid I can be' attitude, you can trace that right back to the womb for me. Like I said earlier, I hope others don't suffer as a result, there are plenty of people who need medical help with conditions that weren't self induced. He has to save himself.
That attitude's fine if you're setting off fire extinguishers & cutting your team mates clothes up in the dressing room I suppose. But when involves thinking you know better than people like Bobby Robson, who really tried to help him, it becomes self destructive. As I've said I believe that everyone who egged him on, including the public, share the blame. Perhaps that's why they're so quick to lay it all on Jimmy ****nut and his slaggy wife ......... both his lifestyle choices. (Hey, I just found out that you can't post a capital F after a Christian name )
I guess we can just hope that any talent coming through over the years can look at Best and Gascoigne as how not to go about being a professional footballer. Anyhow, I'm off to sort my **** out for the weekend, hope you all have a cracking weekend, with the obvious exception of tomorrow afternoon between 4 and 6 which I hope is thoroughly miserable for each and every one of you Adios.
Cheers BTW, there's no way Gascoigne would be out of bed by 5.45, in any case, unless he means the afternoon .......
