Former player’s representative gives update on condition He was reported to have been found ‘semi-conscious’ The former England midfielder, Paul Gascoigne, is back home and “doing well” after being hospitalised over the weekend, his representative said on Monday. “Paul voluntarily went into A&E on Friday after struggling with a throat condition he has had for a while,” Carly Saward at the MNT talent agency told the Associated Press. “He is already back home and doing well.” The Sun reported that the 58-year-old Gascoigne had been found “semi-conscious” at home by a friend on Friday in Poole, Dorset, and initially been admitted to an intensive care unit.
