Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 The most talented English footballer of the last 25 years (sorry, Paul 'the most ridiculously overrated English footballer of the last 25 years' Scholes) Such a shame he has turned into a walking tragedy. I suppose we can only hope he is seeking/someone gets him the help he needs soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Alcohol is never the answer to life's problems.That adage of 'drowning' your sorrows just doesnt work for me.Hopefully he can get the professional help he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 what a shame. Seen a few things on tv about him. I can't see a way out for him. He just can't get out of the circle. I wish him luck he was a true star in the 1990 world cup and the goal he scored against scotland in the euros was top draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz_The_Ram Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Terribly sad, but all too predictable i am afraid. Alcoholism is a terrible disease...one that destroys many in this country. How many times do we think Gazza will have been trying to get cleaned up when a fan sees him and just pipes up with ... 'here - Gazza, have a drink with us...go on' Thus - begins the spiral. One is never enough ... in fact ... fifteen is never enough. I'm not saying that he shouldn't take responsibility for his own actions, but alcohol grips some people in ways others cannot understand. It would never, ever be legal in a million years if it went through parliament again. If you ask me, the game threw Gazza on the scrapheap, as it does to so many...his case just happens to be so high profile because he was a genius on the pitch...many that weren't, and get no publicity, have gone the same way. Look at the case of ex-Ram Garry Charles ... a superb right-back, who ended up drowning in his own piss and sorrow, and did time.. I concur with PrivateRam I'm afraid ... many, many chances to clean up have gone begging. It is looking increasingly grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Addiction, just like depression.... A horrible horrible illness. You can all say he's chucking his life away, but believe me.... I imagine he wants to stop. It's just his addiction has got him by the scruff of the neck. I really do hope it's rock bottom now for him. Otherwise like others have said.... Got two options. Stop or die.... Really hope he pulls through this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the same as George Best. I'm very sorry to hear that. But what you must understand is that every human is different - not every body can be strong, and people don't deal with challenges in the same way as everybody else. It's like Robin Williams - what's he got to be depressed about? I don't know him personally, but whatever it was, it was very real to him. Whatever Gazza's issues have been, it's been bad enough for him to want to drown them out. It might be his upbringing, that he's not learned to cope with stress, or it might be that he had too much money, too young....but nobody intends to be an alcoholic, and he's not got himself here just by going out on the lash a little too often and becoming addicted.
