What a complete waste of a skin this guy has turned out to be, undoubtedly talented but completely wasted. Does whatever he gets up too these days warrant the media attention he generates, I for one don't think so.
The bloke is a train wreck waiting to happen - the media need to fill space so they'll never leave him alone. In a different era he would have simply faded in to obscurity and been declared bankrupt by now which would have been much better for him in the long run.
Because he was good at football some people will forgive him anything and blame his mates for it all. I've seen others constantly claim he has 'serious mental disorders' without any proof, except Gascoigne's inevitable excuses whenever he's in court. He's been sectioned, examined by experts and always released, in my opinion he simply has low self control and enjoys getting slaughtered and taking drugs. If he was someone, on your street, he'd be dismissed as a waster but, because he buys people drinks, they think he's a great lad. No doubt he'll be excused this latest charge and the victim will be vilified.
Very sad the way he has turned out.. Undoubtedly a great talent, but the rest of his adult life has been a road crash..
