Former England international Paul Gascoigne, popularly known as Gazza, has been left in the pitch and there were fears for him after the ailing star's saviour girlfriend vanished from his life.
Gazza's worried friends said that Mandy Thomas has not been seen with the former England attacking midfielder for several weeks. Sources said that Thomas was keeping him on the straight and narrow and they were concerned he could fall off the wagon if she has left him for good.
Former England ace Gazza was hospitalised a month ago in his battle with alcoholism. One friend said that it would be horrible if she has ended it, The Mirror reported.
The friend also said that it has been a tough time for Gazza recently but added that he knows he really wants to keep off the booze. The friend further revealed that Gazza is doing remarkably well and was even released early from hospital because he was doing so well.
The friend revealed that if Thomas has stopped things Gazza would be really upset. He further added that Gazza thought she was 'the one', particularly when she said she would stick by him when it got rough, but admitted that that hasn't been the case so far.
The friend claimed that it is like she's done a disappearing act, adding that ever since Paul was released from hospital she hasn't been there. The friend stated that Gazza has been holed up alone with no sign of Thomas.
