The 58-year-old Gazza admitted that he had drank nine portions of Brandy before leaving the field in the Final of the 1996 Scotland Cup, where he scored two goals and became the best player of the match.
“The coach asked if I drank. I said – no. And he replied, “Then go and drink.” I think it even helped me to play better, ”Gascoin joked.
The football player also said that he did not communicate with his parents for months, and drugs and depression almost destroyed his life. According to him, only forced treatment organized by the father “saved” him.
