London, Oct 12 : English football legend Paul Gascoigne a. k. a Gazza has lashed out at his ex-wife Sheryl for claiming that he forced her for sex ten times a day.

The Sun quoted Gazza as telling pals: "What rubbish.

"She''s only saying these things to sell her book and make money."

A pal said: "He''s furious with her for saying these things."

Sheryl made the statements while promoting her autobiography, Stronger: My Life Surviving Gazza, which is based on her 12-year-long tumultuous married life.

She had said: "Paul used to force himself on me. I''d say ''No!'' but he wouldn''t stop.

"Ten times a day was normal for him.

"When he came home I knew the first thing on his mind would be to have sex with me - but it was better than him hitting me." (ANI)
