I watched it too! We can't have been the only ones though Mark,
surely.

It omitted no 53: namely, gazza has never been in the same room at
the same time as Sophie Ellix-Bextor.

Gazza axed over drinking - Ladak 05/12/05
Paul Gascoigne's 39-day reign as manager of Kettering has ended in acrimony with chairman Imraan Ladak claiming the former England midfielder was "under the influence of alcohol before, during and after several first-team games and training sessions".
The 38-year-old released a statement earlier on Monday insisting he was "committed" to Kettering and wanted to buy Ladak's stake in the Nationwide Conference North club tin order to stay on.
But Ladak claims the former Tottenham, Lazio and Rangers star's problems with alcohol have resurfaced.
"I have tried to help Paul through this difficult period but gave an undertaking to the board prior to my takeover that if Paul hit the bottle I would remove him as manager.
"Paul has not reacted well to the news and has made numerous threats that if I do not sell him the club he will use his name and the media to turn the players and supporters against me.
"This has already begun with Paul calling a number of the first team last night, under the influence of alcohol. Paul even told players not to report for training at MK Dons where they were due to commence full-time training."
Ladak has moved swiftly to appoint Wilson, who was the Poppies manager until Gascoigne took over 39 days ago.
Ladak insists Gascoigne offered to quit the club last night after learning that Ladak planned to sack him, and has urged the man he called his "childhood idol" to seek "professional medical assistance" for his problems.
"Last night's conversation was a result of 37 separate incidents I have had to deal with since the appointment of Paul Gascoigne as manager," Ladak told the club's official website www.ketteringtownfc.co.uk.
Ladak added: "Last night I spoke to Paul Gascoigne who told me 'I will save you the pleasure of sacking me. I will walk away. I quit'."

I had a feeling he wouldn't stay in the job long, he doesn't look too peachy these days.

Oh, thank you so much for that, that would be truly roffleworthy if it weren't so sad.
