And that way, I don't blame other people. I'm the one that has to keep off the drink. I'm taking responsibility for my life on everything.
Paul Gascoigne Anyway, how can you sack anyone who still hasn't got a contract. I'll be there for the game and I'll stand behind the dugout giving instructions to the players from there. They will respond to me more than the next manager. Paul Gascoigne At the end of it, I'll maybe do a coaching badge but I'm not going to get forced into things. Paul Gascoigne But if I wasn't playing, I would drink Saturdays, then Sunday, then Monday. Then I would try and train and it was no good, then have another drink just to pass the day away. Paul Gascoigne But then I always wanted to play for Rangers. Man United is a great club and Alex Ferguson is a legend. Paul Gascoigne Hopefully everybody will just let me get on with my life. I'm going to. Paul Gascoigne I am going to continue and bring this club forward. I am Paul Gascoigne the footballer. Paul Gascoigne I do want to be a manager one day. It might be 10 years, I don't know when. Paul Gascoigne I don't know whether I will drink again in my life but I didn't drink yesterday, I am not drinking today and I'll try not to drink again tomorrow. Paul Gascoigne I don't really do pranks any more. I have a laugh in the dressing room here, where it's safe, and the guys don't go to the papers and tell them what I've done. Paul Gascoigne I feel sorry for the fans because they are laying out a lot of money now and if the players don't perform, they are getting robbed of their money. Paul Gascoigne I fought back, got injured again and I had to have another operation. I got down and depressed and I think I was drinking more than I should. Well, I know I was. Paul Gascoigne I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you've got to. But I try not say that I'm an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it's a disease I've got. Paul Gascoigne I know as a manager you have to abide by the chairman's decisions. But his decisions were this team, that team, this player, that player. The chairman is a control freak. Paul Gascoigne I like to help create team spirit in the dressing room. I feel that I've got loads of love to give. Paul Gascoigne I never predict anything, and I never will. Paul Gascoigne I never refused an autograph, never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I'm learning to say I've got other things on, instead of doing it and wondering why. Paul Gascoigne I still have my problems but I try and deal with them a bit better now. I don't let them ride on for a month then realise I've got a stack of them. Paul Gascoigne I take responsibility for myself and what I do now. Paul Gascoigne I thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness. Paul Gascoigne I was proud playing for England in the World Cup. Every game I played in, I did really, really well. I had the world at my feet, you know. Paul Gascoigne I won player of the year and players' player, two cups and two championship medals, had a great time. Paul Gascoigne I'll have a think about it all around next February but I've got a year left here and I can still finish off my career on a high note at Everton. Paul Gascoigne I'll tell you the truth: I had a double brandy before the game but, before, it used to be four bottles of whisky. Not any more. I was fine. I had a glass of wine after the game. But it was just a mouthful. Paul Gascoigne I'm going to do things that make me happy. I have always felt that other people are running my life. I don't want that any more. Paul Gascoigne I'm going to do things when they are right for me. Paul Gascoigne I'm not going to get that pace back but I can beat people with my pace in the head. I just want to get back in the team and enjoy this season. Paul Gascoigne I've got a bit of money in the bank. I'm quite comfortable. Paul Gascoigne I've had to deal with everything but everyone has helped me, including Sir Alex Ferguson, to get through. George Best was a good friend of mine. We loved each other, we both knew where we were coming from. Paul Gascoigne I've learnt and I just want to be respected for what I've achieved on the pitch. I know I haven't achieved much off it but I do know I've given pleasure to people watching me play football over the years. Paul Gascoigne If I want to be a better person for whoever is in my life, I have to learn. Paul Gascoigne If the fans want me out, I'll put my hands up and leave. Like a proper man. I won't make excuses, I'll leave. Paul Gascoigne The drink? Yes, I've had tough times in my life, especially the last year, regarding my ex-wife, my kids, I nearly broke my neck, I was on death row with pneumonia. Paul Gascoigne The players are still behind me, Kettering is behind me, the staff is behind me, everyone is behind me. Unfortunately, the chairman is not. Paul Gascoigne Then all the foreigners started coming over. I don't mind that but a lot of teams are laying out fortunes for ordinary players and that's no good for our youngsters coming through. Paul Gascoigne Well, I did know - but I just wanted the day to pass and the next day to come and then I wanted that one to pass. It was a horrible cycle. I felt so close to having to pack the game in. Paul Gascoigne When I was playing, I wasn't drinking at the weekends. Not after the game, not on Sundays, when I would just relax, have a sauna, things like that. Paul Gascoigne When it comes to drinking, I don't look to the future now. Because it only brings worry. I live day by day, a day at a time, as they say. Paul Gascoigne You learn, right, a lot of people's problems - why they get upset, why they get down, why they turn to drink - is because they can't say one word and it's N-O, no. Paul Gascoigne |
