Paul Gascoigne in hospital, personal assistant says, after reported collapse.
According to his personal assistant, Paul Gascoigne is in the hospital after the former England midfielder was discovered in his bedroom, apparently semi-conscious. Gascoigne’s health was characterised as stable after he was transferred from an intensive care unit to an acute medical unit on Friday.
Steve Foster, Gascoigne’s friend, driver and personal assistant, was reported to have found the 58-year-old at home in Poole, Dorset. “Paul is in hospital, which is the best possible place for him to be right now,” Foster was quoted by the Sun.
Foster also said that Gascoigne would “like to thank everyone for the support he’s received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best”.
Many people agree that Gascoigne, sometimes known as Gazza, is one of the most exciting players in English football over the last four decades. He played 57 times for England and was a member of Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio, and Rangers.
