Re: Football legend Paul Gascoigne charged with sex assault on Durham train

If he does go to prison, what happens to an alcoholic in prison?

Do they have to undergo treatment I wonder, or cold turkey, or what?

Re: Football legend Paul Gascoigne charged with sex assault on Durham train

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-50056416

Ex-England footballer Paul Gascoigne broke down in tears as he denied sexually assaulting a woman on a train.

A court usher handed him a tissue as he became emotional while giving evidence in the dock.

Jurors were handed a file of photos showing Mr Gascoigne kissing and being kissed by famous footballers and fans.

A photo of him kissing Diana, Princess of Wales, was also included.

In a police interview he said he had undergone an operation which made him sick if he drank spirits and that "thousands" of strangers had come up to him and kissed him over the years.

During the police interview he told officers: "I can have beer, I won't spew up. Any shorts, I spew up immediately," adding: "Before the operation I could drink gin no problem."

He said any impression he had been slurring his words was because he did not have a bridge of teeth in. He took the teeth out during his evidence and demonstrated how different his voice sounded without them in.

Re: Football legend Paul Gascoigne charged with sex assault on Durham train

I feel sorry for Gazza...such a talented football player.(some may not agree)

I have just been looking at some pics of him,on the Internet,...he exposed himself in one.

It would seem that the drink has the upper hand....I hope he doesn't go the same way as George Best and dies young.


Usually. In ones fifties,..life should be more relaxed...young age to die,IMO.

Addiction,destroys lives.

Re: Football legend Paul Gascoigne charged with sex assault on Durham train

You feel sorry for someone who behaves in such a disgraceful manner - who calls a girl he does not know fat and claims to have slobbered over her to 'give her confidence'?

God help us!

Re: Football legend Paul Gascoigne charged with sex assault on Durham train

I think it is far more likely that it is exactly him and the drink releases his inhibitions.

Clearly he is not bothered by his own behaviour otherwise he would abstain.

I don't think so...the alcohol has the foothold...easy for you to say abstain...if only it were that easy....I think he also had mental health issues.

Re: Football legend Paul Gascoigne charged with sex assault on Durham train

None of which is any excuse for assaulting other people.

But anyway, sometimes there are just no excuses. Some people behave in such a manner simply because they want to.
