Paul Gascoigne rushed to hospital after horror fall as England legend left in ‘agony’ | Football | Sport

Former Three Lions star Paul Gascoigne has revealed a recent health scare left him “really panicking” and in “agony” as he was rushed to hospital. Gascoigne, who is 58 years old, suffered a nasty accident over the festive period, which left him with six broken ribs. 

Talking to Clutch 9 for a documentary, he said: “I was hanging something up and I fell backwards. I broke six ribs and I punctured a couple of lungs. I go to the hospital and I’m in agony obviously and they give me some pain relief. I just felt my neck getting bigger. I got the surgeon in quickly because I was panicking.

“I could see my dad in the clouds and I was really panicking. I’ve had 38 operations so this normally doesn’t bother me, but this time I was really s******g myself.”
