Paul John Gascoigne (born 27 May, 1967 in Gateshead, Tyneside), often referred to by his nickname Gazza, is a former English football player, notorious for his colourful character in the game.
His career included spells at Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur F.C., S.S. Lazio, Middlesbrough F.C., Everton F.C. and Rangers F.C., and he also played 57 times for England. Due to his talent, Gascoigne become one of the most prominent sports celebrities in the United Kingdom in the 1990s: in particular, his fame rose to a peak when he burst into tears following a yellow card in the semi-final of the 1990 FIFA World Cup, which would have disqualified him from playing in the final. Since then the media have avidly followed his sometimes troubled life. In December 2005 he was sacked as manager of Kettering Town F.C.
Biography
Gascoigne grew up in the Dunston area of Gateshead, a particularly deprived area of Tyneside, and played for the local Redheugh Boys Club. He was a bright pupil at school, especially in Mathematics, but his key interest was football and it is rumoured that when he was 12 years old, he wrote his signature time and time again in an examination - explaing to his teacher that he was 'practicing his signature for when he grew up to be a famous footballer'. At the age of 11, Paul suffered a tragedy when he watched his friend's brother Stephen Spraggon knocked down and killed by a car. A year later he suffered further trauma when his father suffered a brain haemorrhage and was in hospital for eight months. More on [ Paul Gascoigne ]
