been arrested and sectioned under the mental health act

Oh dear - what a fall from grace  :o

Ive read his autobiography actually it made me feel a bit annoyed with him

The bloke has been a loon for many a year.  I'll never forget that fly on the wall documentary about his time in China.  The lad has, unfortunately, lost the plot, those that have been near him and not done anything about it should be ashamed of themselves, I would be if a friend ended up like that.

Poor fucker always liked him

Get well soon

Pure loon and a bit simple to boot.

I met him many years ago, hes a really nice bloke but a bit of a twat but this is a bad break for the bloke, I hope he gets better from it.

I think this has been inevitable for quite some time. In 442 magazine from 1995, an article about Gazza alludes to these problems years before it became such public knowledge. Good luck to him, mental issues never get the understanding they should.

What do you "legend" ??

Of course he's a fucking legend. Anyone doubting that just needs to watch his goal against the porridge gobblers.

I think Charlotte was calling Gazza a "legend", I don't think she was implying he wasn't a "legend" just that he was a "legend".  Speech marks or no speech marks.

I could be "wrong".

"Touche"

"No" hard "feelings" "Dave", just "think" you "were" reading "a" little bit "too" much into "it".  That's all "."

No because I knew when I wrote the word legend someone would immediatly say hes not a legend or vice versa

you just proved my point oaf!!  :soapy tit wank:

he's the best british player in my lifetime imo.the fact that he never reached the hights his talents deserved is a shame.as is his mental state.
i think he should have joined man u instead of going to spurs.

Oh dear. He couldn't even get the going mad bit right by doing in on a reality tv show.  What a waste.

What show and any linkage Bender?

Err. there wasn't a show. I meant he should have gone mad on a reality tv show so we could have watched. Because it would have been funny. In a cruel way.

Mental illness is sad when it's family and friends but funny when it's celebrities. FACT!

"Oaf !"

Don't think he was arrested I believe he called for help and asked to be taken away.

Lets face it, anyone else other than a rich football who acted like Gazza would have been sectioned ages ago.

Great footballer, but definitely not enough between the ears.

I feel l have to repeat this joke again....

53,000 Geordies meet in St James Park for a "Geordies Are Not Stupid" convention.

Alan Shearer addresses the crowd.  "We are all here today to prove to the world that Geordies are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer please?"
 
Gazza gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.

Shearer asks him "What is 15 plus 15?" After 15 or 20 seconds Gazza says, "Eighteen!"
 
"I'm afraid not", says Shearer.

Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then the Geordies start chanting "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"

Shearer says "Well since we have a capacity crowd, world-wide press and global broadcast media here, I think we can give him another chance".  So he asks, "What is 8 plus 8?"
 
After nearly 30s econds Gazza eventually says,"Ninety?"

Shearer looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh.  Everyone is disheartened and Gazza starts crying.

But then the 53,000 Geordies begin to yell and wave their hands shouting "GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!  GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"

Shearer, unsure whether he is now doing more harm than good, eventually says, "What is 2 plus 2?"

Silence hangs over the stadium.  Gazza closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, "Four?"

Pandemonium breaks out  hroughout the stadium as the Geordie crowd stand to a man, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream .............





"GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!  GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!"

Staff at the Hilton Gateshead where he was staying were worried about him as he had been "compulsivley playing computer games!"

good luck the the guy. Gettign sectioned seemed to sort out frank bruno a few years ago.

When your best mate is called 'Five Bellies' and your drinking buddy is Chris 'the ginger binger' Evans, you're going to struggle to hold your own among the greats.

Yes - he was an awesome talent, but had he surrounded himself with people who were going to look after him he could have been so much greater.

Hope he gets better soon.  At least it sounds as if he will now get some proper help.

Great player that he was, he's certaintly got problems, I actually think he is gay and struggles to live with the fact which therefore rsults in rather strange and aggresive behavior; hence the dodgy blond hair and clothing these days.

All he did was show people his Willy,talk to some fake Parrots and eat some Raw Liver.

We've all done that surely!

No Yeovil, the parrot's that I talk to are real. I know for sure because they told me so.

and Ive never showed anyone my willy!  :P

I've shown it to a docter after I set fire to it.

doesn't this sounds like a bit from peep show (the episode where canadian mary gets sectioned)

I'd love to call a pub "The Priest and Paedo"

same here, but remember the washing machine stays. that's why i fell in love with the place

fuck him waste of space.

Isn't it "The Swan and Paedo" in the peep show episode?

Good morning Mr Pot, How are you today? asked Mr Kettle

What happened to Mr Black?

given a passport house and a job :D

He was deported

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  as if that would happen

Gazza sectioned under the Mental Health Act and sent to institution for mentalists with no chance of recovery.

'We're glad to have him back!' Says Kevin Keegan.

Probably. Following that though i thought Priest and Paedo was better
