Paul Gascoigne set to bring Jimmy Greaves show to Newcastle

TROUBLED football legend Paul Gascoigne is out of rehab. . . and planning a national stage show.

The one-time World Cup and Newcastle United hero has emerged from months of treatment in a south coast alcohol dependency clinic.

And, looking his healthiest in years, Gazza claims he has overcome his well-documented drink demons once and for all.

To celebrate his recovery, the ex-Spurs and Lazio ace has announced details of a tour that will see him entertaining fans around the country.

Newcastle will host one of the talks, which will see the 43-year-old grace the stage with fellow football booze battler Jimmy Greaves.

And Gateshead-born Gazza told the Sunday Sun a visit to his native North will be the highlight of his schedule.

He said: “I’m looking forward to returning to my home town, which will always have a special place in my heart.”

Gazza has famously battled booze addiction since retiring from professional football.
