It's sad in a way, but what can you do?

Millions around the country fight with worse demons and come through the other end fine. For those that don't a nomral bloke would be living on the streets drinking cheap cider and getting scorn poured upon up, but because he's Gazza....

Only he can fix his life up, sympathty doesn't help anything. Save your sympathy for those who spend their winter nights sleeping under newspaper blankets because they're not famous enough to have people bail 'em out.
