Troubled former England star Paul Gascoigne spent the night in custody after he and another man were arrested on suspicion of being drunk in charge of a car.
The 42-year-old former Newcastle United and Boro ace, originally from Dunston, Gateshead, was arrested - together with a 40-year-old man - after police were called to reports of a disturbance at a takeaway in Leeming Bar, near Northallerton, North Yorkshire.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Polices said officers were called at 9.10pm last night and arrested a 42 and 40-year-old man, both from the Tyneside area.
Gascoigne was taken into custody and is expected to be interviewed later this morning.
