Paul Gascoigne on Saturday?

edited July 2008 in General Charlton
I live in Brighton and know several people associated with the Albion. There are some interesting rumours buzzing around that Paul Gascoigne might be playing in the Legends game prior to next Saturday's friendly. Nothing can be confirmed yet, and obviously there are a lot of factors (particularly his condition/state of mind) at play, but the belief is that if the rumours are true and he does sign up, the announcement will cause enough local and media interest that the game will sell out. If not, it looks like being a crowd of 5-6,000 (about two-thirds capacity). I understand that at this stage if we sell out our 900 allocation, we can have an extra 300 seats elsewhere in the ground. This probably won't be the case if Gazza plays because of the anticipated extra local demand.

    'Legends' Dave Beasant, Neville Southall and Steve Foster already confirmed for the pre-match at 13.45 - don't think I'm gonna make that one somehow

    Eight players still to be announced. I'm expecting John Robinson to be one of them (he played in the same match last year) and possibly Garry Nelson.

    From what I can understand, a woman who works at the post office (Mandy) has helped a journalist (Andy) hack his phone/spy on him/etc.

    Paul is particularly displeased, because he felt Mandy was a friend, and he considers it disloyal that Mandy is also sleeping with Andy.

    One tweet says:
    "She even took my food I cooked her"

    Most of them say:
    "Mandy my friend has stitched me up she has giving information to andy what a cow she works in the poets office in Bournemouth what a cow"

    Mandy is with Andy
    And She works in the POETS office.
    Gazza, you should have stayed with Shazza
    and it's obvious of course, you need to stay off the sauce.

    If it's not him, then it's someone who is bloody committed - there must have been about 100 tweets in the last 24 hours on Mandy & Andy.

    If anyone used to listen to the Adam & Joe Show on 6Music, it reminded me of this:

    At first I found some of the tweets amusing, but as it went on and got heavier it became very uncomfortable reading. Clear to see that whatever has happened here has really traumatised him.

    At one point he even posted this Andy fella's number!

    Reckon Gazza is up for `Tweet Of The Year' with that beauty. What did he expect her to do? Keep it as an ornament?

    Mind you, we shouldn't be that surprised by all this. Chronic Alcoholic + Thick as plank Geordie + Keyboard....was never gonna look good was it :anguished:

    I see it from the other point of view personally.

    He is back on a football pitch, enjoying himself, look how much joy is in his face after he scores and everyone even the other team are celebrating with him, I bet 5 years ago he could never have imagined that happening again
    Yeah that part I agree with... He's an example of someone who really hasn't been able to step away from Football and has suffered as a result. So its good to see him back doing what he loves.

    The "shot" for the goal though, just shows how his life has taken a toll on him, and is a shadow of his former self.

    I totally disagree. It's fantastic to see him loving life again.

    The fella was an amazing player just imagine what he would be worth today ? His talent along with his obvious frailties lead people to love the bloke I would find it hard to believe that even opposition players didnt watch in awe and appreciation of his game when he was on song

    Remember him coming on as a sub for Newcastle against us at Selhurst at the start of his career.
