Falling asleep in a wheelie bin
There was a headline on the Sunday Sport (I think) yesterday, with 'Gazza falls asleep in Wheelie bin'. Does anyone hae a link or conformation on this, as I cant find it on their website?
Knowing the Sunday Sport it's probably not true!
Photo
I think this article deserves a photo. I would put one up but wouldn't know where to start. Can anyone help us out? Alec McEnemin 20:44, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree. One with him wearing fake tits would suit best I believe.
Can sombody find a better picture? The one that's up at the moment isn't exactly flattering 138.37.250.195 (talk) 19:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Here is a good photo

It just needs someone who is auto-confirmed to upload it.
That's an awful, cynical picture. Whoever chose it is using their POV on the man. I'm sure people looking at him like this, is not helpful
Like all other players on here, show him in his pomp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.128.223.67 (talk) 15:08, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
OCD
Does he have OCD? The OCD article claims he does. If he does it is odd that it is not mentioned in the article. Robert Brockway 07:27, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- he does. Philc TC 12:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Dubious Information
Caps and goal figures in the article likely contain European cup/Domestic cup data in addition to Domestic League data (this is very certain based on this user's previous edits containing similar information . Please correct this issue and leave a note here, http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Alfmaster#Footballers.27_European_goals, to warn this person about putting improper information on Misplaced Pages. --Palffy 21:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, info on Gascoigne now looks legit to me. --Palffy 01:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Discontinuous?
He was discontinuous? What does that mean? Must be British English, it doesn't make any sense to me. --Awiseman 14:59, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Alcoholism and wifebeating
This is controversial, yet unsourced. I'm removing the wifebeating part per WP:BLP until someone sources it.-h i s r e s e a r c h 18:53, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

For more see: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article447507.ece - extract from his book, if that counts. See 'October 1996' DanGravell (talk) 13:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

French surname?
It sounds more French than English. Any thoughts?--h i s r e s e a r c h 20:16, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I blame William the Conqueror.
Louis XIV more likely. Probably a descendant of Huguenots (at a pure guess).130.225.25.18 (talk) 09:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Mental health issues
Do we really need to state the exact dates of his entering and leaving hospitals for mental health problems? It seems unnecessarily detailed to me, and frankly a bit invasive of his privacy (and is, in any case, unreferenced). It would probably be sufficient to say 'since 2008, he has been sectioned several times under the Mental Health Act'. We have a useful essay that applies here: WP:BASICHUMANDIGNITY.

Spurs
What happened to the Spurs section of his career? Has it been deleted by mistake? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.81.99 (talk) 19:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Gazza picture
Can someone please put up a better picture of Gazza ? ...... I know everyone thinks of him as a laughing stock, and likes to see him looking the worse for wear, but does he really deserve the terrible picture ?
He was after all an extremely talented Man who just happened to lose his way in life ..... He deserves some dignity . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.104.47.36 (talk) 22:13, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
- i am currently trying to do so but it must meet wiki standards which is proving a problem, (i.e. be freely licensed), do you have one yourself?(Monkeymanman (talk) 19:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC))
Smoker
Is it worth mentioning that Gazza is a smoker? (92.5.72.215 (talk) 18:45, 3 July 2010 (UTC))
I think it's worth mentioning because his 20-a-day habit is thought to be part of the reason why he wasn't deemed fit enough for the 1998 World Cup. (92.1.73.240 (talk) 11:42, 8 July 2010 (UTC))
- I think he also enjoys fast foods. Is that worth mentioning. Monkeymanman (talk) 17:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- Definitely, enjoying fastfood is in itself notable! raseaC 17:09, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
