PAUL Gascoigne dived into a restaurant fish tank in his best suit to grab a lobster — after getting tired of waiting for one to be served.The former England ace, 54, claimed he then stunned other diners by tucking into the crustacean while still wearing his dripping wet suit.

He said: “I went to a posh restaurant and ordered lobster because I’d seen they had a massive lobster tank.
“I pointed to the one I wanted but they were taking so long I thought ‘What are they doing? I’ll just get it myself.’
“So I dived into the tank in my best suit.”
The former footballer said he was playing for Lazio in Italy in the 1990s when he visited the restaurant in Rome.
He added: “It took me a while swimming around to catch the one I fancied. When I finally did I hooked it out. Then I ate it in my dripping wet suit.”
Gazza also played for Tottenham, Newcastle, Everton, Middlesbrough and Rangers and was famous for his pranks with fish and animals.

He hid dead fish in teammates’ cars at Newcastle and Rangers until the smell became unbearable.
Gazza also once turned up to Spurs training with an ostrich and kidnapped a swan from a golf course in Scotland.
And when he played in Italy he caught a 2ft snake at his villa and put it in a team-mate’s jacket pocket.

The ex-England captain was moored off the Amalfi coast, Italy, when a police boat pulled up.
Son Cruz, 16 — sporting dyed pink hair — had earlier been jet-skiing, with sister Harper, ten, joining him later.
A witness said: “The kids are quite young. You are meant to be 18 to jet-ski in Italy.”
And added: “Cruz and Harper had just started jet-skiing, and five minutes later the police boat arrived.
“David was sun-bathing and he immediately left the deck and went downstairs to deal with it.
“Both Cruz and Harper were wearing life-jackets and staying very near the yacht so it is hard to see what the problem was.
“David seemed to call to them to come back to the yacht, and they anchored the jet-ski.
“The questioning by the police went on for about 45 minutes although it all looked quite amicable.
“At one point, they asked for documents which David showed them.
“During the questioning the police recognised David and seemed to chat to him.
“They even asked him for a selfie.
“Then, at the end, David leant over for a friendly fist-bump and the police sped away.
“The Guardia Finanza usually deal with drug and people smuggling so I am sure they had better things to do.”

The drama on Friday came after the Beckham family – who had been isolating at their £6million Cotswolds home – jetted to Italy last week.
David and wife Victoria, 45, were joined by son Brooklyn, 22 – accompanied by his US actress fiancée Nicola Peltz, 26 – and son Romeo, 18, as well as Cruz and Harper.
It is thought Brooklyn and stunning Nicola have been eyeing wedding venues in Italy during the trip.

Thrilled Harry told of his joy at his pending £160million Man City move while best man at his brother’s wedding.
Levy revealed his U-turn to Harry and his team last Friday. A source said: “Harry is delighted. He never wanted to leave on bad terms. 
“His value has never been higher.”
Thrilled Harry told of his joy at his pending £160million Man City move while best man at his brother’s wedding. 
Elder sibling Charlie is the England skipper’s agent and the good news was shared with family and friends at last Sunday’s nuptials.
 Euros hero Harry, 27, is understood to have shaken hands on a £400,000-a-week deal with City after Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy finally caved in — having previously said he would only sell the star to a European club.
It will be a four or five-year deal – that is still to be finalised.
Levy rang Harry and Charlie, 32, to tell them of his U-turn on Friday, two days before the older Kane’s wedding. 
LEVY CAVED IN
A club source said last night: “Harry and Charlie got the call at the end of last week. 
“Obviously Harry was delighted because he never wanted to leave Spurs, his beloved boyhood club, on bad terms. 
“Daniel Levy is a canny operator though and after Harry’s brilliant efforts and goals at the Euros his value has never been higher. 
“By waiting until now, he has probably put another £20million or so on his price tag. A contract with Man City has not yet been signed but this is Harry’s preference. 
“It is also preferable from Spurs’ viewpoint.
“They do not want to lose him to another London side. 
“Terms have provisionally been agreed, and it’s an incredible deal. It’s now just a case of dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s.
“Harry is in the pomp of his career, and wants to win trophies. 
“This is a brilliant signing for both parties.”

Harry put in a transfer request earlier this summer. 
It followed Spurs’ failure to win a trophy after losing to City in April’s League Cup Final.
He had previously spoken of his desire to win trophies and play regular Champions League football. Meanwhile, the popular striker, who turns 28 next week, celebrated his Euros success by secretly jetting off on holiday with his wife of two years, personal trainer Kate.
They took a private jet to the Caribbean after Harry’s four goals helped England’s young Lions to the Euros final — their best performance in a major tournament for 55 years.
The couple, who have three children, then returned for Charlie – who runs a successful London-based agency – and bride Hannah’s Essex wedding.
Harry’s Man City deal follows a reported initial bid of £100million last month. 
 England’s Man City trio of Kyle Walker — a former teammate at Spurs — Raheem Sterling and John Stones are understood to have given Harry advice on where to live in the North West. City boss Pep Guardiola may be asked to offer some star players as part of the deal. 
 Striker Gabriel Jesus could be a replacement at Spurs.
Harry has age on his side as he seeks another 95 goals to beat Alan Shearer’s Premier League record of 260.
He started with Ridgeway Rovers in North East London — where it also began for David Beckham — and was part of Arsenal’s academy before moving to Spurs.
Loan spells followed at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City before Harry became a first-team regular.
To get their man, City will smash the Premier League record transfer fee, currently held by Man United’s Paul Pogba at £89million. The transfer would also be a Spurs record — comfortably beating the £86million they got when Gareth Bale left for Real Madrid in 2014.
It would top the £47million Spurs got when Walker moved to Man City in 2017. Third on the list is cult hero Dimitar Berbatov, who Spurs sold to Manchester United in 2009 for £34.2million.

Harry won PFA Young Player of the Year in 2014-15 when he equalled the club record of 21 goals in a season. 
He has since gone on to smash the record, and won the Premier League Golden Boot three times.

Everton footballers begged bosses to try to put an end to gossip and innuendo over their identity
Police confirmed only that a 31-year-old man was quizzed but he cannot be identified for legal reasons — though his name has been revealed in his home country and on websites.
The disgruntled Toffees’ squad were ordered not to contact their pal.
One international player “was furious to have five missed calls” from their accused colleague.
A source said following an emotional team meeting: “The players are highly agitated, they are not happy to be dragged into it.

“Senior Everton players have been contacted day and night by other Prem stars, all seeking details.”
The suspect’s merchandise has been pulled from shelves in his home country — and it emerged on Wednesday his wife left their £3million home while he is at a safe house.
He was suspended by the club over the allegations, which he denies, and is on bail. More
