Football legend Paul Gascoigne was reportedly taken into intensive care after he was found semi-conscious at his home on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The England icon was rushed to hospital after being discovered by a friend in the bedroom of his Dorset home, according to The Sun.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gazza, 58, was initially taken to intensive care according to reports, but has since reportedly been transferred to an acute medical unit where his condition has been described as stable.<\/p>\n

But he is expected to remain in hospital for several days while receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

His friend Steve Foster, who discovered him, said Gazza would “like to thank everyone for the support he’s received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best”.<\/p>\n

He told The Sun he had driven the footballer to hospital, adding: “Paul is in hospital, which is the best possible place for him to be right now.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Gazza said he was feeling better than he had in years after enduring struggles with alcohol addiction and mental health problems.<\/p>\n

The 58-year-old told The Mirror: “I feel better now than I have in years.<\/p>\n

“I hope I am at a point that I can look back over everything I’ve gone through with a different, more positive, perspective.”<\/p>\n

He added: “After so many years in the spotlight, I feel like it’s time people got to know the real me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The much-loved football star was reportedly discovered semi-conscious at home on Friday evening 22:22, 20 Jul 2025Updated 22:23,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11887,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-11886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
