Early life
Gascoigne was born in the Dunston area of Gateshead, the second of four children of John Gascoigne (a hod carrier) and his wife Carol. Dunston was originally an independent village on the south bank of the River Tyne. A brick hod is a three-sided box for carrying Bricks or other construction materials, often mortar. Initially the family lived in a single upstairs room in a council house with a shared bathroom, and moved several times during Gascoigne's early life. [3] At the age of ten his father moved away to Germany to find work, and Paul suffered a personal tragedy when he witnessed the death of Steven Spraggon, the younger brother of a friend, who was knocked down by a car outside a sweet shop. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. He suffered further trauma soon after when his father suffered a brain hæmorrhage and was in hospital for eight months. Gascoigne started playing football at the age of four, playing almost non-stop in the street and nearby park. He played for his school team from the age of eight, and later played for the local Redheugh Boys' Club despite being under the minimum age.
He caught the attention of the football scouts while playing for Gateshead Boys, and was given a trial at Ipswich Town although he failed to impress.

His teacher was not impressed, telling the young Gascoigne that "only one in a million becomes a professional footballer". Nevertheless he was signed on as an apprentice at Newcastle in 1983, initially playing for the youth team under Colin Suggett. It was at this time that his nickname of Gazza was first coined.
His personality equaled his football at times, a happy character always full of mischief. On a trip to London he jumped out of his car to demand "a go" on a workman's pneumatic drill. After getting the go-ahead, happily pounded the pavement to the amusement of shoppers. On first meeting with Lazio's president to discuss his big-money move to the Italian club, he was quick to tell the esteemed gentleman that he reminded him of Russ Abbot. Russ Abbot (born Russell A Roberts on 16 September 1947 in Chester) is an English Musician, Comedian, and Actor. He astounded commuters in London by jumping on a double-decker in London's Piccadilly Circus and asking if he could have a drive. The bus driver said yes, and the passengers thoroughly enjoyed Gazza's impromptu performance. On meeting the president of Denmark's FA, he pretended he could speak Danish. When invited to demonstrate, imitated The Muppet Show's Swedish Chef. The Swedish Chef is a Muppet who appeared on The Muppet Show and was operated by Jim Henson and Frank Oz simultaneously and is now He paid £320 for a Mars Bar in a newsagents in his home town of Dunston, then told the shop owner to spend the change on sweets for local kids.
