SOCCER sickos are running an internet sweep on when troubled Paul Gascoigne will die.
Celtic fans have blitzed a website with bets on how and when the ex-Rangers star will pass away.
The Gazza Death Sweepstake was launched after the England soccer legend – who is battling booze addiction and depression – was pictured hammering on a pub door desperate for an early morning drink.
He was arrested after brawling with a photographer and cautioned for criminal damage after smashing a fan’s mobile phone.
Hours later sick bloggers opened an internet book on Celtic fans’ forum The Huddleboard on how long the 41-year-old former Spurs, Newcastle and Everton star will last.
One member Benedicts11 – who has made over 5,000 postings – sneered: “I’ll give him three months.’’ Another called Marty Bhoy added: “I’ll go for nine months.’’
While Stevo1888 said: “Two hours.’’ One twisted punter – who uses the name Ayrshire CSC – wrote: “On the Queen’s birthday. They can both go. What a day!”
Another, calling himself Linkboy, said: “Is it too much to ask for Thatcher on the same day?’’
Last night a pal of Gazza’s said: “It’s just unbelievable people would do this.
He has been through a really difficult time as everyone knows and this is like kicking him when he’s down.
“Paul needs support right now – not sick b*****ds trying to drive him to an early grave. They should all rot in hell.’’
Yesterday we revealed how a sick Dutch-based website was urging net surfers to predict when cancer-stricken Jade Goody will die.
The 27-year-old Big Brother star is recovering from major surgery and facing 12 months of chemotherapy after contracting cervical cancer.
The winner of the vile website’s contest is promised an Apple iPhone worth up to £500. Last night internet watchdogs were probing the Gazza death site.
A source said: “Complaints have been received regarding the website and moves made to investigate the content of certain posts.
“However it is extremely difficult as the site appears to be a ‘closed shop’ only available to members.
“It seems it is currently closed to new registrations so anyone attempting to sign up and read what is being said finds themselves unable to do so.’
