Ex-England ace back in hospital

His televised tears at that unforgettable booking at the semi-final of the World Cup, and his stormy relationships with loved ones and the bottle alike, have captured the hearts of many.

But Paul Gascoigne’s latest descent, being sectioned under the Mental Health Act, has left the nation wondering if Gazza’s story will end in tears yet again, or if this sporting hero’s life can take a positive turn and restore him to his former glory - or at least give him a little happiness.

40 year old Paul was back inside a mental health unit after terrifying hotel guests with his bizarre behaviour.

He voluntarily re-admitted himself on Saturday afternoon after police were called by concerned residents.

The alcoholic ex-England star diagnosed with manic depression was driven to the hospital by worried cops after guests at the hotel in Kensington, West London, found him mumbling and spinning around in tight circles.

Doctors now want the Geordie to stay inside the unit until he shows improvement.

Paul has been battling drink and drugs since being sectioned in February and entered the mental health clinic weeks ago following an apparent suicide bid - after begging in the street. Staff at another hotel had called cops after he asked them for a steak knife, sparking fears for his safety.

Can people like Paul overcome such suffering?
