Fast becoming like George Best. The lad's best hope is to get into football, coaching kids or something otherwise he is going to totally lose it.
Shame, because he is loved, he is one of the most kindest, loveable players around. Always think back to that story were he bought a Mars Bar in Newcastle with a £20 note and told the newsagent to buy all the 'kiddies' sweets with the change. Wotever goes on though, he has a switch which turns him into a dark character, the ale probably doesnt help like.
Will always thank him for two things:
1) Saying F*** Off Norway to the camera when on England duty - effectively saying F*** Off Liverpool
2) The game against Leyton Orient - shades of the old Gazza and he was in a blue shirt that day - great stuff.
And if there was ever and excuse to throw this picture in, this thread is it......

Its a shame because he's one of the few players that actually gave to the fans out of kindness. I remember a story in the Echo when he played for us. He was staying at a hotel in Woolton and a young lad bumped into him on a cold winters night and asked for his autograph. The lad was freezing and Gazza gave him his coat to keep warm. Theres hundreds of good stories that follow Gazza around but unfortunately theres just as many bad ones too. Hope things get better soon. My younger brother is alcoholic and in a bad way but the only hope for them is if they wanna help themselves. Great player on his day though and a top carracter.Yeah, thankfully it wasn't him driving (not that it makes it any better) but just from the perspective that I'm glad it's not him who's drunk and doing the driving. He needs to find a happy place, like Happy Gilmore
