Paul Gascoigne: Former England footballer taken to hospital after collapse at home
Paul Gascoigne was rushed to hospital after collapsing at his home in Dorset, according to reports. The Sun reported on Sunday evening that the former Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle and Rangers midfielder was found semi-conscious in the bedroom of his home in Poole. The 58-year-old is said to now be in an acute medical ward in a stable condition, and is expected to remain in hospital for several days for treatment. Former Brighton defender Steve Foster, who reportedly found Gascoigne, told the outlet that he thanks "everyone for the support he's received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best". Gascoigne, who played for England 57 times, has endured a decades-long public battle with drink and mental health problems which started during his playing career and worsened after his retirement from football in 2004. In 2020, he said he had been able to turn his life around after having anti-alcohol pellets sewn in his stomach, which would make him sick if he had a drink. Last March, he told the High Performance podcast that he was a "sad drunk" living in a spare room at the Dorset home of his agent Katie Davies.
