`Numb' face scare for Gazza.
FORMER England football star Paul Gascoigne has been treated in hospital after losing the feeling in one side of his face, it was reported last night. Gascoigne, 35, turned up at accident and emergency in Gateshead, near Newcas-tle, with his father, John, at 12.45pm on Saturday, according to a national newspaper. The ex-England and Ever-ton star was complaining that the left side of his face was numb, said the paper.
A witness at Gateshead's Queen Elizabeth Hospital told the paper: ``A woman he obviously knew asked him what was wrong. He said the left side of his face had gone numb. He was rubbing his face.'' Gascoigne, who has played for Everton, Lazio, Newcastle United and Spurs, is currently without a club after leaving Burnley in the summer. He has been t raining hard over the past few months and hopes to sign-on and play for a new club soon. His father said his son was fine and it was not a serious complaint.
The hospital refused to comment. Gascoigne could not be contacted.
