He hasn't got five bellies anymore. If anything he showed a new path for Gazza to aspire to.

Wow......that makes it all the more sad.

Yep, and that was 2010. Gazza has put on 20 years since then.
The thing is, it's different for many people. Many of us have had tragedies in our lives, but that doesn't mean we know how it is for others who, on the face of it, have had a similar experience. Also, I don't believe for a minute that Gazza has only suffered with alcoholism (to be clear, I'm not talking about what anyone else has been through).

He's going to die like George Best if he doesn't stop. So sad.
I think the main difference between let's say, Paul Merson and Gazza is that Merson went through every addiction while he was playing - when he was at the top. I still find it incredible that the cocaine and level of drinking and gambling was hidden from the media and Merse had to confess to the Daily Mirror. At the time it was shocking because coke was a 'harder' drug then and less was known about it than now where it's almost socially acceptable. Also, Merson wasn't anywhere near as good as Gazza but I still remember that image of Merson breaking down next to his manager, George Graham and describing his nightmare; his paranoia, his feeling of hitting rock bottom and his eagerness to be given one more chance.
Gazza's problems began when his career was on the slide and what he was going to do after he hung up his boots. Merson managed briefly at Walsall and is on Soccer Saturday every week. Two different characters who also played together at Middlesbrough but have both faced horrible addictions.

If you saw the documentary on the 96 Euros you'd have seen David Seamans story of Gazza drinking then taking diazapam whilst fishing and falling in the lake. He was at it in his prime. I'm gonna repeat that he hit his 5 year old son and beat up his wife, was good with a leather football though !

Yep I watched that. He enjoyed trying to fight the diazapam. Didn't last long and he fell asleep on the bank after his fishing failure.
I didn't know he hit his son though.

I wish him well, and hope something can be done. But....
The folk who sit around Brighton in derelict shop entrances, their only comfort being a bottle of Scotland's finest, are regarded with disdain and vitriol by many.
The only difference between them and Gazza is that they weren't so gifted at kicking a ball, and they don't have rich mates to bail them out now and then.
Sad really.
