Paul ‘Gazza’ Gascoigne’s story is a sad one for most of us football fans who remember the midfielder’s incredible talent. He’s also been privy to the tabloid media covering his every addiction move and although some have tried to help as well, Gazza’s alcoholism continued as he battle to find that thrill he once received during his professional career.

As we get to the 25th Anniversary of the Italia ’90 World Cup, Gascoigne will screen in cinemas for one night only on 8th June, at 158 sites nationwide with a live Q&A from panellists Stuart Pearce, Henry Winter, Pete Davies and Paul Gascoigne.
