Former football star Paul Gascoigne was recently found slumped outside his penthouse apartment in Pool, Dorset, and was taken to the hospital following an apparent drinking binge.

The England legend is said to be facing the risk of being evicted from his £3million rented penthouse because neighbours had recently complained about noise levels.

A friend told the Daily Mirror: ‘It is very sad. But the reality is Paul has been drinking for the past few weeks and once that happens things will only end one way.

‘Today things came to a head. He has had a lot on his plate as he is in the process of trying to find somewhere to live.

‘His landlord had given him 10 days to get out of the flat and it was weighing on his mind. Obviously things became too much for him in the past couple of days and he has turned back to the bottle.’

A spokesman for Gascoigne declined to comment on the incident outside his home, but media outlets printed pictures of Gaza staggering through the streets clutching a bottle of gin.
