The 45-year-old was too unwell to receive medical care at the American rehab centre he was booked into, raising fears for his life.

Poor Gazza - I feel terribly sad for him and for the friends trying to save him

I have mixed feelings for the guy.

On the one hand he has experienced salaries and a life style most can only dream about.

On the other hand his drinking, whoring and drug taking was self inflicted. [George Best the same]

I hope that his full recovery will come about, and that he take full advantage of a 2nd chance to get back on the rails.

WWS.

He's been 'ill' for years tho hasn't he, the damage that must have already been done would be considerable.

It must be quite a lonley place tho sometimes, wondering if friends are legit or if they're only after certain things. Not really being able to go out without being recognised and all the trappings of fame. Guess some handle it and others don't?

It is very sad, but I am glad that his friends are rallying round him.
I wish him well.
