Gazza returning to Bournemouth after Arizona clinic stay

9:00am Saturday 9th March 2013 in News

PAUL Gascoigne is coming back to Bournemouth after spending a month in rehab in the United States.

The football star’s high profile departure from the town hit the news when he fell ill a month ago and celebrity friends including Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans were among those reported as helping to fund treatment.

The 45-year-old has been battling his drink problems at a clinic in Arizona and it has been confirmed to the Echo that he will come back to the town when he returns next week.

Gascoigne originally came to Bournemouth and received help from the Providence Projects rehab centre. They continued to help support him during arrangements for the trip to the US.

Agreed. Returning to Boscombe will be a massive mistake for the reasons that you have given. He would be better off moving to one of the many small villages around here that have just one or two pubs and a shop.

It would make it much harder for him to fall off the wagon again if there are people watching out for him rather than people who will get a kick watching him fail, as is bound to happen in Bournemouth.

Let him live at Piddlehinton or Puddletown

Now that would really give him something to cry about
The big baby.

Vinny needs to get a grip on him once more. that would bring tears to his eyes again.

Yep, that's just what Boscombe needs, another client for Rehab, still, someone will make a nice profit!

How many times is it that Gasgoigne has been in rehab? And still there are people who think he will quit the drink and drugs. Whilst I don't wish ill of anybody, I wouldn't take any bets on him not being drunk in Boscombe within the next few weeks.

I agree. Coming back to Boscombe I wouldnt have thought is ideal for him, and advertising the fact doesnt make things easier for him. I do wish him all the best though
