London, Feb 21: Fallen football legend Gazza aka Paul Gascoigne has told his family that he has got rid of his alcohol addiction, and is keen to reunite with them.

Gazza, who was disowned by his own son Reagan in the documentary called `Saving Gazza', told his sister that he wants to reunite with his family, especially his son.

"I've not had a drink for weeks and this is the best I've felt in a long time," the Mirror quoted him as saying.

London, Jan 15 : Fallen football legend Paul Gascoigne a. k. a Gazza was tricked into appearing in the shocking TV documentary Surviving Gazza', according to his pal.

Jimmy "Five Bellies" Gardner, who has known Gazza since childhood, opened up about the troubled star's fury over the `stitch-up'.

And he feels that Gazza was talked into doing it by Sheryl and producers while he was incapable of making a rational decision because he was in an alcoholic haze.
