Gazza:
My Story, by Paul Gascoigne (2004)
ALMOST as soon as Paul Gascoigne burst on to the scene at Newcastle United, the young Geordie was the centre of attention.
Then, with England on the verge of possibly reaching the World Cup final in 1990, came Gazza's tears - the moment that brought a whole new audience to the sport and helped set the football 1990s boom on its way.
But a career-threatening injury, mental health problems, self-confessed alcoholism and family disputes derailed his path to greatness, as life in the full glare of the media spotlight became too much.
Now, at the end of his career in football, Gazza is finally ready to tell his own story in his own words for the first time - and it is even more amazing than you would have thought.
