Troubled footie ace Paul Gascoigne fails to turn up for sportman’s dinner hours after being spotted drunk at King’s Cross station
The troubled ex-footballer disappointed fans who had paid £2,000 to meet him at a country club near Middlesbrough
TROUBLED Paul Gascoigne failed to turn up for a sportsman’s dinner hours after being spotted drunk at a train station.
Staff refused to serve the England ace. A worker at London King’s Cross said: “Security would not let him travel.”
Gazza, 49, was due at a country club near Middlesbrough where guests had paid £65 a ticket, and £2,000 to meet him.
Around 100 people walked out and promoter Tony Robinson refunded £20,000.
He said: “We were very upset that Gazza failed to show and apologise to everyone who hoped to see him.”
Those who stayed were entertained by comic Roy Chubby Brown who had been in the audience.
He said: “I feel for Gazza.”
The footballer’s agent declined to comment.
