Gazza at it again!

Gazza at it again!

BROKEN Paul Gascoigne was seen begging in the street hours before his desperate hotel suicide bid, The Sun can reveal.

The soccer legend, who was last night in a mental health unit after trying to drown himself in a bath, also tried to put down a �20,000 deposit on a Ferrari.

But the episode dissolved into farce after his trousers fell down in the showroom � revealing he was wearing no underwear.

Former England star Gazza, 40, was seen begging outside a shop by millionaire Queens Park Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini.

Shocked Mr Paladini handed him �70 and urged him to clean up his act before making his way to QPR�s Loftus Road stadium for Sunday�s match with West Brom.

Alcoholic Gazza, diagnosed with manic depression, began asking passers-by for cash after a store refused his credit card as he tried to buy fags in London�s Mayfair.

A spokesman for Mr Paladini said: �Gianni recognised Paul and saw he was in a bad way.

�He was drunk, smelled of booze and was upset.

�Gianni was shocked. He gave him some money and told him to have a meal and clean himself up. He then put him in a cab and sent him on his way.

�When Gianni heard he�d tried to commit suicide, he was very upset.�

The taxi took Gazza to the posh Millennium Hotel in Sloane Street, Knightsbridge.

The Sun told yesterday how the sad former Newcastle, Spurs and Lazio midfielder was rescued by cops there as he held his head underwater in the bath.

Staff had called officers after he asked them for a steak knife, sparking fears for his safety.

He was taken to the mental health unit of Chelsea and Westminster hospital, where yesterday he was still recovering.

Geordie Gazza also had his hair dyed red then shaved it all off during a bank holiday weekend bender in the capital.

Onlookers told how he visited a Ferrari showroom in South Kensington on Saturday to �buy� a �140,000 car.

Chauffeur Gerard Lowe said: �He was wasted and abusive, talking about how footballers are paid so much.

�I felt sorry for him. At one point his trousers fell down and he wasn�t wearing underwear.�

Poor c**t.

Self imposed KP, No one forced him into his lifestyle choice.

I did not say that at all. Apology accepted in advance.

Man, feel sorry for the poor bugger really.

Thing is, his money must be running out - not completely, he's still staying in expensive hotels. Those freeloaders he knocks around with are mainly school friends I read somewhere, guys he grew up with. I wonder if they'll still be around when he really bottoms out?

that is what happens with the price of fame which is unfortunate.  hope he pulls his head in and gets well soon

Least we forget what he did in Euro 96, He has gone from the darling of  anation in Italy 90 to what he is now. Thank god that the money that the guys earn now is being invested for there future. Gazza people ruined him, I wish he would of gone to Man U when Fergie wanted him, and done to him what he did to Giggs. The worst thing he did was coming to London, as he was liable to implode in the big city. Im not saying that Newcastle isnt a big city. But he was protected there, as he was with his own.
