Last Updated: Thursday, 21 February 2008, 13:21 GMT

Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne has been detained under the Mental Health Act following an incident at a hotel in Newcastle.
Northumbria Police said a 40-year-old man was detained following a report of disorderly behaviour at the Malmaison Hotel early on Wednesday.

Officers later visited Mr Gascoigne at Gateshead's Hilton Hotel after concerns were raised about his behaviour.

Police said he was not in custody and was now receiving medical treatment.

A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "Police attended the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead yesterday evening after we received a report of concern for a 40-year-old man staying at the hotel."

"The man was detained under the Mental Health Act, and no-one was injured during the incident."

Gascoigne, a former player with Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio, Glasgow Rangers and Middlesbrough, was sacked after 39 days as manager of Kettering Town in 2005.

He was capped 57 times for England.

Gazza's not mental he's just himself. He doesn't exist in the same world we do. Just let him loose in the wild, sit back and laugh at the outcome!!!

stovelid

I just knew those shell suits would get him sectioned sooner or later....

STEVO B

Me and the gf love gazza

Dudess

Being sectioned seems to be all the rage of late - the rehab of 2008.

Maybe it will help destigmatise mental illness though.

Yeah let them loose and watch the hurt!

Nah. Believe me, I know what trolling is and is not.

Besides
1: Who gives a fck about Paul Gascoigne?
2: Why is a soccer related thread in AH? Suited more to soccer or perhaps even Celebrity and Showbiz, but AH?

Want to talk about soccer, go to the soccer forum.

Who's talking about soccer? The guy hasn't played in years so it's nothing to do with that. Only person who's included soccer in their reply has been you.

Well this thread has died a death.

Expect sales of his autobiography to rocket. Publicity stunt tbh

This story has everything. Drink, drugs, nudity.....battery operated parrots....:D I know its bad for him but there are certain parts you have to laugh at.



Im surprised he has enough money to blow £240 night for a room and a load of coke.

Mr. Presentable

OK, I feel sorry for the chap. How come no-one has pointed out the hotel he was in? The Malmaison? Isn't that French for sick-house?

In a sense, i'm happy for the chap. I read his autobiography a few years back and many incidents he recalls scream mental health problems, yet no one bothered to try and do anything for him. They all thought he was just being 'Gazza', the cheeky chappy.

I know he hasn't lived the life of a saint, but he was an immense talent, someone who simply loved to play football, a result of which has led to severe depression in the last few years, as he has found it hard to accept that his days of playing football are over.

Plain and simple, he loved to play ball. He didn't care about money, being the highest paid, driving a flash motor, appearing in OK with the WAG, rolling around the pitch, acting like a soft lad trying to get players sent off etc. etc. In this day and age, there are few players with raw talent like Gazza and even fewer who aren't guilty of the above.

I hope this is a turning point in his life.
