Paul Gascoigne is set to team up with his best pal and former England goalkeeper David Seaman to host a TV fishing show. The ex-Rangers footballer, 55, is renowned for his love of fishing but has got himself into various scrapes over the years with his rod and tackle.

On the first day of Euro 2020 last year, he was dragged from the banks of a lake after falling into the water at Dever Springs Fly Fishing in Winchester.Seaman, 58, reckons Gazza still finds it hard to sit still and their new venture will test his patience.He said: “It will be hilarious because he is a handful when he’s fishing."He likes trout fishing but he will cast his fly out and, if he doesn’t get a fish within a minute, he starts changing his fly and retying it."His line spends more time out of the water than in it."The plan is to film us fishing and chatting for one day initially, although I’m not sure how much fishing will get done."It will probably involve him taking the mickey out of me and me pushing him in the water.”It won’t be the first time the two have been caught hook, line and sinker on a fishing lake.In June 1996, along with then-Spurs goalie Ian Walker, they slipped away from their training base before the Euro 96 quarter-final against Spain to go fishing in Berkshire.

But a snapper took photos and Gazza went nuts.Seaman, who has partnered with tackle shop Fishing Republic, said the hobby helps to de-stress him.He said: “It has helped since I retired.
