TROUBLED Paul Gascoigne has revealed how drink and drugs nearly
killed him in 2008, which he described as his worst year ever.
The former Spurs and England star said he was on the last of his
lives.
In an interview with the Sun newspaper, Gazza said: "This is my
last chance.
"2008 was a terrible year for me, my worst year ever.
"The drink and drugs nearly killed me, not once but a few times.
And getting sectioned was the worst thing ever.
"I know I can never drink again otherwise it will kill me."
An "unflinching" Channel 4 documentary will be shown on Monday
entitled Saving Gazza, described as a moving account of what it is
like for his family to cope with an alcoholic, mentally ill father.
