Paul Gascoigne brings Raoul Moat a can of lager, some chicken, a mobile phone and something to keep him warm and claims to be his pal
Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne tonight arrived in Rothbury to offer his support for Moat.
Talking to Metro Radio the 43-year-old appeared to suggest he had brought the wanted man a "can of lager, some chicken, a mobile phone and something to keep warm".
He added: "He is willing to give in now. I just want to give him some therapy and say 'come on Moaty, it's Gazza'.
"He is alright - simply as that and I am willing to help him. I have come all the way from Newcastle to Rothbury to find him, have a chat with him.
"I guarantee, Moaty, he won't shoot me. I am good friends with him."
Geordie Gazza, who has battled with drink for much of his adult life, is a frequent visitor to Rothbury as the fishing is good locally.
He famously fell off the wagon in the pretty tourist town in 1999, while still a footballer, when locals reported seeing him drunk in a local pub.
Reacting with shock to the news Gascoigne was in Rothbury, his agent Kenny Shepherd said: "He's doing what? I am sitting having an evening meal in Majorca. I'm speechless.''

Possibly one of the oddest articles, topped off with a great quote from his agent.

He sounds hammered in that youtube clip. Sad, but not a surprise really.

How it all could have been different, really sad. I was at senior school during Italia 90, only looking back now do I appreciate the full talent he had. Loads of people say it would have been so different if he joined Man Utd. Not sure I totally agree but his rise to instant stardom was a lesson learnt, and started lots of clubs protecting their young players better.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

What a mess Gazza is. Very sad

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

With his susceptibility to mental health problems who's to say his life might not have gone off the rails anyway, regardless of how his playing career panned out?

 

[Dover]

Poor deluded man.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

So with the items Gazza turned up with, did he really think they were both going to indulge in a spot of fly-fishing whilst wearing dressing gowns and eating chicken before Moat was taken in?

Yes.

Dressing gowns?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Gazza turned up in his dressing gown.

 

[DerbyGull]

He might be a piss head and life has gone off the rails but at least his heart is in the right place. Good on gazza!

 

[Tooting Gull]

I honestly don't think the radio station should have proceeded with that call once they realised what state Gazza was in. Another drunkard, they'd have cut him off.

Am I missing something here or is this clearly a hoax? He sounds more like Ossy Osbourne with an funny accent!!

And what's the fishing rods and dressing gowns all about??

Indeed. Regardless of whether he signed for Man United, Tottenham Hotspur or Rochdale... the guy is mentally ill.

"knowing my luck he'll miss!" haha nutter!

 

[Colossal Squid]

Gazza: "He's killed someone, yeah? Which is not nice..."

Oh my word.

I first thought this was perhaps an attempt by Gazza to win back some public affection by turning up and talking round this lunatic, but listening to that radio interview I think it's clear that Gascoigne is completely f***ed as well as being COMPLETELY INSANE.

The poor guy needs putting away, he really does

propper geordie train wreck.......moving along

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]
