DazBob Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I'd wager that Gazza has been given more chances and more offers of help than anyone else would have been given. It's all very sad, but instead of everyone repeatedly saying "Poor Gazza, he needs help", he needs to look at himself. If he can of course.

His actions with Raul Moat suggest perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buck has to stop with the person at the centre, unfortunately, personal responsibility and avoidance of adopting a 'poor me' attitude are the foundation stones of recovery and continued wellbeing... Chris Evans is a great bloke. As for Gazza, even old allies in the North East have “had enough” of him not sticking to what’s been out in place to help him. Some folk just have a self destruct button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 To be fair when I (we) was 35 my best mate took up with a girl in her early twenties and I gave him the "beeeaaassttt" hiss treatment... I can imagine Evans being a good bloke and it seems he's stepped up to the plate more than once for Gazza. I suspect Gazza would be in the same circumstances, albeit reduced, if he'd been a plasterer or welder - although being talented and thus spending a good portion of his life where "no" wasn't in the vocabulary of a big proportion of his coterie can't have helped either.

captainmed Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I watched a documentary about him many years ago and it always stuck with me. His ex-wife and their children were looking for him in Portugal as i think he'd had another relapse. He came across as a despicable creature and at the time i remember his son had no time at all for him. It certainly changed my opinion of him anyway.... I know alcholism is an illness and one of his young friends dying is also given but he's never grown up and had more help than anyone. No sympathy from me.

Breightmet Boy Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 My partners mates stayed at the Holiday Inn up north at Christmas and Gazza was staying there after a row with his family. Anyhow, he asked could he join them and the posed for pictures etc. The upsetting bit is he was leathered, smoking and flicking fag ash on the carpet and he emptied a crisp packet onto the table and was scooping them up into his mouth. They helped him to his room, he came back down a while later asking where his mobile phone is and it was in his hand. I hope it’s just a blip, he’s a national treasure and I want him to help himself. Bloody upset me hearing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner or later he has to do it himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theboybell Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Video of him posing for a selfie and pleading for the fan to sort him some Cocaine. Cant post but someone cleverer than me can do. Such a sad and desperate state of affairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elson Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Rather people didn’t post it, can find it on Twitter It makes for uneasy viewing such a shame that one of the greatest technical player this country has produced ending up like that very sad Edited May 31, 2019 by Elson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamiwhite Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 It’s very sad indeed. Arguably the greatest footballer I’ve ever seen and one we all idolised. Such a shame to see him like this, praying he gets the much needed help he requires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately mate, if he doesn't want to sort himself, then all the offers of help will mean nowt. I'm sure the likes of lineker etc will have done loads behind the scenes. Short of kidnapping him and squirreling him away on some remote island with no ale etc, hard to see what else an be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 His heads fucked unfortunately, factor in a few addictions and it's clearly obvious the guy needs help. Trouble is, unless Gazza seriously wants to sort himself out, it's only heading one way.....down down, deeper on down. It's tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Probably sound a cunt here how many chances has he had to sort himself out? no doubt there’s many folk out there not famous who would give anything to have the help he’s had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted March 18, 2020 Members Share Posted March 18, 2020 Absolute hero of mine. Had the pleasure of meeting him. He stayed and chatted to us for a good 10 minutes, couldn’t understand a word he said but it was great nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I love the image of his manager getting the phone call when he rocked up with tinnies and some chicken at the Raul Moat stand off. He's done WHAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 19, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2020 Haven't really got any more sympathy for the fella to be honest. He's had a massive amount of support and blown it. Lock him away on a remote Scottish island and get him to farm oats. Well away from a boozer.
