Paul Gascoigne outside court this morning
FORMER England football star Paul Gascoigne is to stand trial later this year after pleading not guilty to a racially-aggravated public order offence.
The former Newcastle, Tottenham and Rangers midfielder is alleged to have used "threatening or abusive words" towards a security guard during An Evening With Gazza show in Wolverhampton in November last year.
The 49-year-old ex-footballer, who lives in Dorset, was granted unconditional bail at Dudley Magistrates' Court until a trial on September 19.
