England star Gascoigne was interviewed recently. He admitted that he would never be able to stop drinking and would die in this way as "Gazza".

Gascoigne, 58, has struggled with alcohol addiction and mental health issues since retiring from football more than 20 years ago. He went to rehab several times, but said he was never able to completely overcome his alcohol addiction.

Gascoigne said: "Jimmy Greaves successfully quit drinking, but that's Jimmy Greaves, I'm not Jimmy Greaves, and I'm not George Best. My drinking is not because I hate my parents or the public, that's not the case. I drink purely out of habit, although I may regret it later. "But I never dwell on yesterday or worry about tomorrow. I only live in the present and live for today. I have never changed, and I can't change, and I don't know how to change." Sui will die as Gaza, but I have nothing to hide, and the whole country knows what I have experienced. "

"I drink because I want to, but I regret the consequences afterwards. Now even if a relapse occurs, it doesn't last for weeks like it used to. Looking back, I must have broken my parents' hearts, but I didn't think about it at the time. In fact, I was the one who was hurt the most. "

Gascoigne, who now lives in Poole, Dorset, revealed that he now goes to Bournemouth every day to help homeless people.

He said: "I try to do three good deeds every day, which I learned in Alcoholics Anonymous. On Sundays, I often visit the homeless instead of watching the TV. Maybe give them a sandwich, money or cigarettes."

"They huddle on the porch, there are so many of them. The police will chase them away, and these people may temporarily hide, but eventually come back to the city. I really feel for them, and helping others makes you feel good about yourself. Now that I can, I should do it."
