Paul Gascoigne: OCD made me want to chop off my foot

Football legend is still battling the illness

Tuesday, 14 April 2009

Paul Gascoigne has spoken out about his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

The former England footballer spent time in rehab to deal with the illness.

‘I always put my left shoe on and then my right but they made me do it the other way round,’ he told ITV show Loose Women.

‘I honestly wanted to chop my foot off. I started crying my eyes out.’

Paul, 41, also revealed his compulsion to turn lights off.
