England football legend Paul Gascoigne has joked he will “get more Botox” if England win the World Cup, but he is confident the Three Lions will defeat quarter-final opponents Norway in 90 minutes on Saturday night (11.07.26).
Paul Gascoigne has joked he will “get more Botox” if England win the World Cup.
The former England footballer, 59 – who has previously been open about having the anti-ageing injections – thinks it will be a “really, really tough game” when the Three Lions take on Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday (11.07.26), and he doesn’t think manager Thomas Tuchel’s lads will get the job done in 90 minutes.
When asked on Good Morning Britain what his match prediction is, Gazza – as he is affectionately known – said: “A draw. I think it’s going to be a tough game, to be fair.
“I think it’ll be a really, really tough game.
“I’ve played against Norway and they are a tough team.
“We’ve been saying for so many years we’re going to win the World Cup. Since 1966.”
He joked: “I’m going to have to get more Botox if that’s going to happen.”
Presenter Kate Garraway said to Gazza: “You’ll have to show an expression if they win and you can’t at the moment, that’s what you’re saying.”
He replied: “Exactly.”
Gascoigne will be cheering on the Three Lions from his bedroom on Saturday, while watching the game with a cup of water – to avoid being “pestered” in a public space.
He added: “I get pestered. You’d think I was in the World Cup.
“I’m getting pestered wherever I go. It’s a bit of a nightmare.
“So, I’ll probably be sitting on my bed watching it with a cup of water.”
Last month, Gazza broke down in tears during a live TV interview on the GMB sofa while revealing his memoir, Eight: The Real Gazza, has saved people’s lives.
Paul – who has been open about his battles with addiction and struggles with his life after football – said on the show: “A lot of people have come up said they’ve read it, and it helped them save their life.
“Like I said, you know … if that book can save one person’s life then I’ve done my job.
“Two million addicts and alcoholics die each week. It’s a lot.
“When people come up to you and say they’ve read the book and how it’s helped them … it means a hell of a lot.
“Because I’ve had a lot of help in my time. I’ve learned a lot.”
He joked: “I think I should read it myself, you know. Do myself a favour.”
