The further decline of Paul Gascoigne ~

Alex Ferguson's a football manager, not a social worker or a psychologist. Stan Collymore says the same about himself in his self-pitying autobiography, that it could all have been so different if only he'd been signed by Ferguson for Man Utd. Who knows, maybe things could have been different for Kurt Cobain if only he'd been good enough at football to get taken on at Man Utd in the Eighties – and Dorian Gray, he wouldn't have made half such a mess of that portrait if he'd been taken under Fergie's wing at a young age. And did not Suetonius, in his Lives of the Caesars, suggest much the same of Caligula?
