Paul Gascoigne famously known as ‘Gazza’ has had a rollercoaster of a life so far with insane highs and some very low lows as he opened up about some of his deepest darkest secrets when speaking on the James English podcast via The Sun.
Paul’s father John Gascoigne died in 2018 after a battle with cancer and Gazza revealed that when he was left alone with his dead father inside in the hospital he proceeded to ‘punch and headbutt’ his body before crying and hugging him for 45 minutes.
He says that he did this as an act of revenge for John’s past ‘sins’.
“When it was just me and him in the hospital bed and he passed away, I f****** jumped on the bed and punched him,” the 53-year-old said.
“I headbutted and punched him and got my own back from when I was younger. Then I just laid there and hugged him for 45 minutes.”
“You just think sometimes, ‘He’s still there’.”
“Saturdays are when I miss him. But he was so dry.
“He’d talk to anyone but he wouldn’t talk to me.
Paul stated that the two were very close as he took John around the world and bought him lots of presents.
“I loved to take him around the world with me when I played,”
“At the moment I’m alright, but I’ll be thinking of it, the good times I had – I probably had more good times than bad times.
“I must have bought my dad about 80 cars and 18 boats and houses.”
Paul seems to have taken revenge on John for putting him in a mental institute in the 2000s.
