Poor *******.

The cops have emergency powers under the MHA, doesn't mean he's necessarily been "sectioned" as people might understand it.

Shame.. Look at what too many people blowing wind into your sails (whilst surreptitiously creamin off as much cash as they can), does to a man..

Hopefully the times when advisors are all crooked are behind us.. Im fairly sure I read somewhere that American Footballers have to go thru sort opf regime in which they are taught what is ok and what is a no no.. To avoid thingh like "Baby Momma Drama" as they so eloquently call it..

Do we have anything like that process in place in the UK?

Gazza Arrested and sectioned?

Breaking news on the beeb, apparently some incident in a hotel and Gazza's been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

For all his sins, a very talented footballer but deeply troubled soul who looks like he is about to hit rock bottom.

I feel a bit sorry for aul Gazza tbh. Watched him on Richard & Judy a while back and he looked genuinely sorry for his mistakes and wanted to get his life back on track.
Obviously this isn't good at all.

Bout time he was sectioned. Should have been sectioned when he attacked his wife the first time

He's one of those 'stars' who cant handle not being in the spotlight, needs to be loved by the public.

Also another example of the destruction caused by boozing

Interesting point of view from your lofty perch.

btw - I do not or ever will agree with wife beating. But to be sectioned for it?

Sorry pal but that's a steaming pile of horse****.

The bloke has been treated for depression since he was 8 years old FFS.

To be fair though the fame and adulation and it's loss is clearly an exascerbating factor to the already existent depression.

Of course it is but it's far from being as simple as V painted in his post.

That is so sad to hear. What a bunch of ******s his friends (Jimmy 5 bellies et al) must be.

Years ago I was working with some geordies who new his family well. The said he had an a brother who could run rings around gazza with a football, but he was a bigger pisshead and not interested in playing
