Former England<\/a> midfielder Paul Gascoigne<\/a> has been hospitalised after being found collapsed at his home by a friend.<\/p>\n

The Sun<\/a> report that Gascoigne was found semi-conscious in the bedroom of his home in Dorset<\/a> by a close pal.<\/p>\n

The 58-year-old was subsequently taken to hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit, but has now been moved to an acute medical unit and is in a stable condition.<\/p>\n

Steve Foster, who found Gascoigne, said in a brief statement: \u2018He would like to thank everyone for the support he\u2019s received so far from so many old friends who wish him well and want to see him back to his best.<\/p>\n

\u2018Paul is in hospital, which is the best possible place for him to be right now.\u2019<\/p>\n

While the circumstances surrounding his collapse are not yet known, the former Tottenham midfielder is expected to remain in hospital for the next few days.<\/p>\n

Gazza\u2019s health has long been of concern due to his well-documented struggles with alcohol addiction and mental health problems.<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier in the year, however, the former Tottenham midfielder issued a positive update surrounding his heath.<\/p>\n

\u2018I feel better now than I have in years,\u2019 he told The Mirror ahead of the release of his latest book, Eight.<\/p>\n

\u2018I hope I am at a point that I can look back over everything I\u2019ve gone through with a different, more positive, perspective.<\/p>\n

\u2018After so many years in the spotlight, I feel like it\u2019s time people got to know the real me.\u2019<\/p>\n

Gascoigne most notably played for Newcastle United, Tottenham, Lazio, and Rangers during his club career, but it was his time with the national team for which he will be most fondly remembered.<\/p>\n

Capped 57 times by the Three Lions between 1988 and 1998, he was part of the England side that reached the semi-finals at Italia 90, famously breaking down in tears on the pitch after losing to West Germany.<\/p>\n

Six years later at Euro 96, Gascoigne again made headlines with his iconic solo goal against Scotland as England, on home soil, made it to the semi-finals again before losing to Germany on penalties.<\/p>\n

Gascoigne was later overlooked by Glenn Hoddle for England\u2019s World Cup 1998 squad and ended his international career with ten goals to his name.<\/p>\n

At club level, he also had stints at Middlesbrough, Everton, Burnley, Boston United and Chinese club Gansu Tianma before retiring in 2004.<\/p>\n
