TROUBLED Paul Gascoigne’s agent told last night how the soccer legend needs help “immediately” — as video emerged showing the tragic extent of the star’s public disintegration.
Terry Baker said he was “desperately worried” about Gazza, seen in a rambling ten-minute appearance at a charity bash. He added: “He immediately needs to get some help. His life is always in danger because he is an alcoholic.”
Yesterday we revealed how the ex-England star, looking far older than his 45 years, sobbed and shook uncontrollably during an interview with Terry before 500 guests in Northampton on Thursday.
Terry said Gazza was “incoherent and drunk” after a stay in a medical facility where someone died as he held their hand.
He added: “Maybe no one can save him, I really do not know.”
Fallen star ... Paul Gascoigne in show
Terry, who spoke to Gazza yesterday, said: “He has got to want to help himself. He has to recognise the problem, I think deep down he does. But he didn’t know he was shaking on Thursday.”
As the fallen star starts sobbing, Terry tries to hold his arm still and continue the interview. But Gazza is unable to remember the script. He slurs: “I’ve been on a whisky diet.”
With the audience walking out fearing Gazza was “dying in front of our eyes”, he is helped off stage.
