Gazza invited to make Spurs return: I'll give Parker some pointers

Tottenham legend Paul Gascoigne could soon be back at White Hart Lane.

Gazza admits Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has offered him the club's facilities.

"Harry lives down the road from me and has offered to pick me up on a number of times and take me to the Spurs training ground for a work-out. I haven't got round to it yet but I might," Redknapp told the Mail on Sunday.

"I think Harry would be a brilliant England manager because he has the respect of the players and that's all you need in that job.

"You don't need a technical guy. You need someone the players would play for, and that guy is Harry. But my advice to Harry is, don't do it. Stay at Spurs, where you are already a legend. Go to England and the only certainty is that you'll be hammered after a few losses. Harry may be good for England, but England won't be any good for Harry or his family.

"And I might get hold of Scott Parker and tell him he's a great player but instead of always releasing the ball at the first opportunity to try something different and give it a go."
