Seppure con qualche giorno di ritardo, si è appreso di un nuovo incontro troppo ravvicinato con l’acool per Paul Gascoigne, uno dei massimi talenti espressi dal calcio inglese. “Gazza” sarebbe stato fermato dagli agenti in un quartire di Newcastle in stato di ubriachezza molesta. L’ex fantasista ( foto ) sta combattendo,ormai da anni, una lunga battaglia personale, descritta anche in un libro autobiografico, contro l’alcoolismo. Non resta che dire ancora una volta C’MON GAZZA! Intanto fa discutere la richiesta dei sostenitori dei Wolves di essere rimborsati dopo la magra prestazione, culminata in una sconfitta per 3-0, contro il Man U. Anche una vecchia gloria della squadra come Steve Bull si è detto in disaccordo con quanto domandato dai supporters.
