England football legend Paul Gascoigne, 58, provides a positive update of health after years of fighting alcohol addiction and psychological problems

Legend of England Paul Gascoigne has issued a positive update with regard to his health.

Gascoigne, 58, has endured many years of struggle with alcohol addiction and psychological problems.

However, he now seems to have taken a big step in the right direction.

Gascoigne publishes a new book that is right in reference to the shirt number that it is best known to wear.

The former English star, which is considered one of the best players in the country of all time, added that eight also referred to the amount of emotions he often ended.

Last week, Gascoigne appeared as part of a tribute to the departing match of the day presenter Gary Lineker.

Gascoigne has now given an update about his health and says he feels better than he has in years.

Gascoigne told The mirror: ‘I feel better now than in years. I hope I am at a point that I can look back on everything I have experienced with a different, more positive, perspective.

“After so many years in the spotlight, I feel it’s time for people to get to know the real self.”

The marriage of Gascoigne to Sheryl, which ended in divorce in 1998, was marred by claims of domestic violence.

His enchantment as a Kettering Town manager in 2005 only lasted 39 days, with the alcohol problems of Gascoigne a key factor.

In 2008, Gascoigne was confronted with a bankruptcy application with regard to a tax assessment of £ 200,000, because he had not submitted tax returns for more than two years.

In 2011, however, he avoided being declared bankrupt, despite the fact that he still owed £ 32,000.

Gascoigne has often struggled with alcohol addiction and first lived at therapy sessions in 1998.

In 2010 he was accused of driving under the influence and he was sent to rehabilitation, while getting a conditional punishment of eight weeks.

That year he also appeared on the spot during the distance between police and fugitive Raoul Moat.

In 2015, Gascoigne received a street ban for harassing an ex-girlfriend and attacking a photographer.

Gascoigne was closed 57 times by England 57 times between 1988 and 1998. He played for clubs such as Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Everton.
