England legend Paul Gascoigne is recovering in hospital after being involved in a car accident.
The former Newcastle, Tottenham and Rangers player was in a serious but not life-threatening condition at Newcastle General Hospital following the accident in the city at 9.45pm on Sunday.
The 43-year-old, who has battled drink and drug addiction and depression since the end of his playing career, was one of three people in a Vauxhall Astra which crashed at Sandhill on Newcastle's quayside.
"For reasons yet to be established, the car left the road and collided with a lamppost," a Northumbria Police spokesman said.
Arrested
"A female driver and two male passengers were taken to hospital with injuries which were not described as life-threatening.
"A 36-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and bailed pending further inquiries.
"The condition of the two men in hospital has been described as serious but not life-threatening. The woman has been discharged."
The dark blue Astra crashed into a lamppost next to Newcastle's historic Guildhall, close to the Tyne Bridge.
Fragments of car bodywork and shattered glass surrounded the bent and twisted lamppost, which was crushed against the building's 19th century east pillars.
Ever get the feeling you are watching someone slowly but surely on the path to an early death.....Jeez old son, you're not long for this world I reckon......a tragedy unfolding before our eyes.
It is like watching a car crashing in very slow motion, I cannot help wondering how different things would have been had he signed for Sir Alex at the time rather than Tottenham. Having encountered him in the tunnel before a game and lived to tell the tale, I can only tell you what a nice bloke he is, I hope he sorts his demons out, I really do, but he has to want to and I am not sure he does.

I have been following him on Twitter these last few months. Shame as he's done a lot for charity on there recently - mainly all he said was he was going fishing.... made it seem like he was back to good health.
Former footballer Paul Gascoigne is to face a drink-driving charge after he was arrested by police, it has been revealed.
The 43-year-old was stopped by officers in the Jesmond area of Newcastle on Friday afternoon.
He was breathalysed and charged with drink-driving and will appear at Newcastle Magistrates Court on October 20.
The former Newcastle United, Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Everton player has suffered with alcoholism for years.
He already faces a separate drink-driving charge dating back to February, which will be heard next month.
Last week, Gascoigne was lined up to become boss of Garforth Town, in the Evostik First Division North League, but he pulled out of the deal.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "A 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving in the Jesmond area at around 2.45pm on Friday October 8.
"He was charged with driving with excess alcohol and bailed to appear before Newcastle Magistrates on October 20
