EX-England football star Paul Gascoigne is set to lay bare the truth about his football career and personal life at a special show at Scarborough Spa next year.

Paul Gascoigne – The Live Show on Friday, March 11, will give football fans the chance to hear Gazza tell his life story, including all of his ups and downs.

The Spa Theatre date is one of only a handful Gascoigne will be doing on a UK tour of venues which started earlier this year to mark 25 years since Gazza became a national treasure.

His skilful displays from midfield drove England to the World Cup semi-finals in Italy, before they lost on penalties to West Germany in Turin - a game famed for Gazza bursting into tears when he received a yellow card and realised he would be suspended for the final, had England got there.

Described as "the most naturally gifted English midfielder of his generation" the Geordie genius will also be quizzed by fans about his times with the likes of Newcastle, Glasgow Rangers, Tottenham Hotspur, Italian giants Lazio and his stellar career with England.

Tickets for the show, which also includes comedy from top comedian Jed Stone, are £25 and available from The Spa’s box office on 01723 821888 and at scarboroughspa.co.uk

VIP Packages which include front row seats and a photo with Paul are also available at £65.
