Paul Gascoigne explains that he hit his father's corpse

Paul Gascoigne (53 years old) has always been a peculiar character. The former English footballer had a turbulent sports career and an even more controversial retirement due to his addictions, but it is now that has decided to talk about his father, John Gascoigne.

The Englishman blamed his father for placing him in a mental institution in 2010 and explained that he did not handle his death well in 2018 after cancer.

“When it was just him and me in the hospital bed and he passed away, I jumped on the bed and hit him. I head butted him, I punched him and I recovered from when I was younger. Then I lay there and hugged him for 45 minutes ”, revealed Gascoigne.

“Sometimes you think, 'He's still there.' Saturdays is when I miss him. But it was so dry. He spoke to anyone but he did not speak to me, “he added.

“I loved taking him around the world with me when I played. Right now I'm fine, but I'll be thinking about it, in the good times that I had, I probably had more good times than bad. I must have bought my dad about 80 cars and 18 boats and houses. I got divorced and gave a lot of money to my family. I spent a lot on houses, buying and renting different places ”.
