[edit] 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 http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/gusintheuk2/paul-gascoigne-192_667988e.jpg
It just needs someone who is auto-confirmed to upload it.
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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 [1]. Please correct this issue and leave a note here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alfmaster#Footballers.27_European_goals, to warn this person about putting improper information on Wikipedia. --Palffy 21:17, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, info on Gascoigne now looks legit to me. --Palffy 01:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 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)
Its widely rumoured (and I stress rumoured)around the North East that Gascoigne's "reckless tackle" was a put on, to cover up a knee injury recieved from now deceased(assassinated) North East gangster Viv Graham, if Paul had pressed charges against Viv its highly likely he'd have been found floating in the River Tyne.
[edit] Alcoholism and wifebeating
This is controversial, yet unsourced. I'm removing the wifebeating part per WP:BLP until someone sources it.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 18:53, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] French surname?
It sounds more French than English. Any thoughts?--h i s s p a c e 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)
