Foreword by Alan Shearer

Eight is Paul Gascoigne’s legacy - the book which will define Paul, the man the world knows as simply Gazza.

Once described as the most gifted English footballer of all time, Paul looks back on his meteoric journey to the pinnacle of the globe’s most popular sport, the struggles he has faced and his battle to rise up once again.

Now, 35 years on from the Italia 90 World Cup that saw ‘Gazza’ hit dizzying heights and become internationally famous - for his talent and those semi-final tears - Paul is still a household name and someone who transcends football.

As Paul moves forward with his life, he is now able to look back at it with a renewed sense of self, and a better grasp of what was really happening at the time. Honest, raw, moving and ultimately uplifting, Eight will show the world Paul Gascoigne as never before.
