Maybe not. I hope the bloke makes real fist of his rehabilitation. The man had a will of iron on the pitch, if he can apply that same strength to his recovery, he may pull through this. Man I hope he makes it. I don't know if things have become worse since this piece, but I hope not. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/oct/07/paul-gascoigne-alive-kicking
The drinking We were due to play Sunderland on 12 January 2002. That night I drank three and a half bottles of wine, took 11 sleeping tablets, woke up at 6am with the shakes, took a couple more tablets, finished off the wine, fell back asleep, woke up again at 9am, had a treble brandy, another sleeping tablet, a smoke and went to the game. I was in a terrible state, so I had another treble brandy, took another tablet and went out and played a blinder. Afterwards, I went home and fell asleep. Next morning I asked Jimmy ["Five Bellies", pictured below] how I had done. "Look at the table," he said, pointing to a bottle of champagne. "You won man of the match." Sounds like me when I used to play Sunday morning football Quality read BTW
Should the inevitable happen I'm looking forward to the joke threads. This could make the Gary Speed fall out look like a minor hiccup.
