THE GLORY DAYS OF GAZZA: IN HIS OWN WORDS 'Gascoigne the player deserves to be remembered. And Gazza the book deserves to be read' Tom Watt, Mail on Sunday'A rattlingly good read' John Rawling, Guardian'A very honest book' Daily Telegraph'Hilarious, terrifying and touching' Daily ExpressAlmost as soon as Gazza burst on to the scene at Newcastle United, the young Geordie was the centre of attention: Vinnie Jones's notorious ball-handling showed the lengths people would go to try to stop him. Then, with England on the verge of possibly reaching the World Cup final in 1990, came Gazza's tears - the moment that brought a whole new audience to the sport and helped set the football boom of the 1990s on its way. But then came a career-threatening injury, mental health problems, self-confessed alcoholism and family disputes, as life in the full glare of the media spotlight became too much. Now, at the end of his top-flight playing career, Gazza is ready to confront his demons. The result is quite simply the most remarkable footballing story you'll ever read: what it's like being Paul Gascoigne, in his own words.
