​Paul Gascoigne's sister has made sensational claims that the Sun newspaper have deliberately interfered with her brother's private life and taunted the former England international in order to build a more compelling story.





Lindsay Gascoigne published a post on the 'Stop Buying The Sun Newspaper' Facebook group stating the frankly vile actions committed by reporters from the paper, creating a distorted impression of her brother and taunting him.

The post in question concerns a rather controversial article published in the paper showing pictures of Gascoigne accidentally exposing himself while exiting a taxi in a dressing gown.







The article was titled 'Paul Gascoigne new low as he exposes himself in the street on the hunt for more booze', gaining 29,000 shares across the web in total.





Mental health and alcoholism associations were quick to jump on the obscene nature of the article and heavily criticise the unnecessary content.





The Sun removed the worst of the photos, however, the article as a whole still remains live on their site, clearly the disgust voiced by the public was not strong enough.

Now, Gascoigne's sister's comments raises further quarrels with a paper that has a fair share of enemies. Deliberately placing alcohol bottles by a man's door step, who is renowned for alcoholism, is an act that that should be widely condemned.





Could it be that one of England's biggest papers has contributed heavily to the downfall of the former Tottenham Hotspur player? It certainly looks likely.





Gascoigne's struggles have been widely publicised for some time now and in June the latest installment saw him charged for racially aggravated abuse following a racial slur at one of his stage shows.





The 49-year-old will stand trial but has pleaded not guilty to the offence.
