Paul Gascoigne is "doing well" at home after receiving treatment in the hospital for a throat condition, according to his management company.
There were concerns about the former England footballer’s health after reports claimed he had been found collapsed at home. However, his management team moved quickly to ease these worries, clarifying that Gascoigne had voluntarily gone into A\&E on Friday after struggling with a throat issue.
His management said that he was not taken by ambulance and that the treatment was for a condition "he has had for a while." Gascoigne has been dealing with this issue for some time, and the situation was not critical.
The England legend, known for his brilliant footballing talent, starred in the 1990 World Cup and Euro '96, where he famously scored an unforgettable goal against Scotland. He earned 57 caps for his country, scoring 10 goals, though his career was cut short by a serious knee injury during the 1991 FA Cup final.
In recent years, Gascoigne has been open about his struggles with alcohol. He has described himself as "a sad drunk" but has vowed to "keep on fighting" and has been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Last year, he shared that he had been living in his agent’s spare bedroom in Dorset.
Gascoigne started his career at Newcastle United before moving to Tottenham Hotspur, where he won the FA Cup in 1991. Despite his success on the pitch, his personal life became troubled after his knee injury, leading to struggles with alcohol during his time at Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough, Everton, and Burnley. The decision to leave him out of the 1998 World Cup squad was a blow to both his career and personal life.
