Gazza joins Sir Bobby's England squad
GAZZA is set to team up with old England boss Sir Bobby Robson for a replay of the 1990 World Cup semi-final.
England were a penalty shoot-out away from the Italia 90 final but were beaten by eventual winners West Germany.
Gascoigne will now pull on the white shirt of England again for a one-off rematch.
Sir Bobby has organised the match at St James's Park, on July 26, to raise funds for his cancer charity.
The former midfielder said: "I've always idolised Sir Bobby – he looked after me like a father.
"He's supported me through tough times, and it'll be a privilege to play for him again."
Sir Bobby said: "I'm thrilled Paul is in shape and ready for my match.
"He is the most naturally-gifted player of his generation, and it will be special to see him once again grace St James's."
