Former Spur, Paul Gascoigne, has been charged with drink-driving.

The former Spurs and England midfielder was arrested last month after an incident a takeaway in North Yorkshire and arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a motor vehicle whilst drunk, along with another man.

Gascoigne has also been charged with driving without a licence and driving without insurance and the 42-year-old will appear before Northallerton Magistrates’ Court on April 16.

A North Yorkshire spokesman said, “Two men answered bail at Northallerton police station yesterday and were charged with a number of offences.

“The 42-year-old man was charged with drink-driving, driving without insurance and driving without a licence.

“The 40-year-old man was charged with drink-driving, being in charge of a motor vehicle whilst over the limit, driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance.”

This marks another sad chapter in the demise of Paul Gascoigne, who has suffered a number of alcohol-related incidents since the conclusion of his football career.
