The ailing footie superstar is in intensive care after his organs began to shut down hours after arriving at the Meadows Rehabilitation Centre in Phoenix, Arizona. And last night as Gazza was fighting for his life it emerged the penniless alcoholic’s medical bills could top a staggering £100,000. A source close to the star said: “Gazza’s in a bad way, he’s much worse than he was and desperately needs help. “He’s had really bad withdrawal symptoms relating to not drinking since arriving at the clinic. “His internal organs are shutting down and he’s in intensive care, it’s a potentially life threatening situation. “If he doesn’t receive the best treatment from doctors he could die.” The source said Gazza, who is potless after years of alcohol abuse, could be turfed out of the US hospital if he can’t foot the bill. “Gazza’s got no money to pay for the treatment and health care in the US is very expensive,” the source said. “We have estimated that the cost of round-the-clock hospital care could reach £100,000. “Gazza needs people to step in to raise the money for him, his life depends on it.” Celebrity friends of the frail hero had already raised £25,000 to pay for a stint in rehab. Broadcaster Chris Evans was among pals shocked by Gazza's grim appearance and increasingly bizarre behaviour. The 45-year-old was taped sobbing, slurring and swearing at a charity appearance. Evans - who enjoyed hellraising nights with Gazza in the '90s - contacted former Spurs striker Gary Lineker, TV's Piers Morgan and ex-England cricketer Ronnie Irani, among others. Between them they raised enough to cover the cost of Gazza’s £7,500 a week stay at the Meadows, while British Airways stumped up the cash for first class flights to the US. Last week the trembling star was snapped supping a final pint of lager before checking in at The Meadows. A shocked witness told how the desperate legend ordered the pint the moment a minder left him briefly alone in a US airport bar. Moments later his pal returned, grabbed the beer, and hauled Gazza out of the boozer. The former footie ace was shaking uncontrollably as he stepped off the 11-hour BA flight from London. Gazza hugged a uniformed airport worker before his friend sat him in a chair in the Chelsea bar and restaurant.

Gribz 966 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 how would the sun know? or how could they run with a story like this if it was a lie? would they stoop this low? The mainstream media report what they want, of course they would stoop low. They reported 9/11 was done by 19 hijackers orchasrated by a bloke in a cave didnt they. How big a lie can they get. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
