London, Jan. 20 : Playboy Calum Best is desperate to rescue troubled former England footballer Paul Gascoigne from his addiction to booze.

According to the Daily Express, he wants to repay Gazza who gave him support when his father, footie legend George Best, died after a long battle with alcohol.

"He is such a good guy and all he is doing is escaping by getting on the bottle," said Calum, 27.

"I would just ask him to please get in touch. But you look at what he is doing and think `Wow - I have been through that one and I know the sad ending and I just hope it doesn't end that way'." (ANI)
