  • 14 years ago

Former England football star Paul Gascoigne has been charged with drink-driving.

The former Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was arrested last month after an incident at a takeaway in Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire.

42-year-old Gazza retired from football in 2004.

He has fought a well-publicised battle with alcoholism and mental illness in recent years.

He will appear at Northallerton Magistrates' Court on April 16.
