Gazza arrested again

Paul Gascoigne has been arrested and fined for being drunk and disorderly.
A 42-year-old drunk with plenty of previous and a history of domestic violence should not elicit sympathy but he does. His mental health problems are well documented and help to paint him as a victim of fame but mostly it's what he used to do that makes us feel sorry for him.
For those who enjoyed the 1990 World Cup and saw him play, Gascoigne is frozen in time as the cheeky chappy with the lightning-fast feet and creative genius.
But, sadly, it seems he is destined never to change despite plenty of declarations that his bad days are behind him. Where are the hangers-on and celebrity pals now?
