Former Liverpool and Aston Villa star Stan Collymore has made a public appeal to Paul Gascoigne to call him.
Collymore is concerned after seeing Gazza get caught up in the Raoul Moat saga.
He wrote in his column for the Mirror: "As everyone knows, I've had mental health issues over the years and now try my best to limit the potential damage I had a habit of doing time and time again in my life and career.
"Listening to Paul makes me, and I'm sure many others in sport and in the society generally realise that mental health issues need to be addressed head on if there is any chance of tackling or attempting to tackle one's demons.
"I've just completed three weeks at the World Cup, travelling, commentating and writing and I'm very proud of what I've achieved in this last month.
"So hearing Gazza had extra relevance to me because that could very easily have been me wittering, rambling and let's be honest, drunk.
"I hope he gives me a bell sometime. I'm no sage of wisdom but he still is a young guy with plenty to offer the game if he chose to."
