FEARS GROW FOR FALLEN GAZZAConcerns are growing for Paul Gascoigne after new pictures emerged showing him slumped in a chair and being treated by paramedics in a London hair salon.

The photos were reportedly taken within hours of him being released from hospital in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, where he had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act for the second time this year.
The 42-year-old former England and Lazio star then made his way to London where he was pictured slumped in a chair in a hairdressing salon being attended to by paramedics.
The 1990 World Cup made "Gazza" a national hero and he went on to become a tabloid favourite.
But it is his health that has made headlines in the last few years and the former loveable rogue now cuts a sorry figure.
In February, he was detained under the Mental Health Act following an incident at a hotel in his native Gateshead.
Gascoigne has previously sought professional treatment for alcoholism and in 2005 he was sacked as Kettering boss after just 39 days.
Chairman Imraan Ladak cited alcohol as the reason, but Gascoigne denied the claims. Immediately after his dismissal he was arrested over an alleged assault on a photographer outside a hotel in Liverpool.
