London, Oct 15 (ANI): Paul Gascoigne has admitted that he downed nine brandies and snorted cocaine before matches and went on to score some of his greatest goals.
The 44-year-old football legend was so booze-addled he was scared to drink water because he thought that it would kill him.
He was famously spotted before one match guzzling six brandies before kick-off - followed by 13 lagers to drown his sorrows after a defeat.
"Before matches I was on nine brandies, plus cocaine and everything. I would have had wine," the Daily Star quoted him as telling ITV's This Morning.
"I was on four bottles of whisky a day for three months. It took two bottles just to stop the shakes.
"When I went to the treatment centre I was so scared to even drink water. I thought it was going to kill me."
Meanwhile Gazza insists that he is finally winning his battle against his drink and drug demons.
"I'm enjoying life - I golf now," he added. (ANI)
