Gazza coach talks

Paul Gascoigne could face an emotional game against former club Newcastle if he joins Boston United as a coach.

Boston manager Steve Evans, whose side play the Magpies on 27 July, claims Gazza could be on his way to the club after talks about a back-room role.

"Paul wants to get into the game as a coach - he'd be a tremendous asset for us," said Evans. "He has a lot of experience at the top level and I am due to speak to him further later in the month."

But Boston face competition from Welsh champions Rhyl, who want to sign Gascoigne in time for their Champions League qualifier against Latvia's Skonto Riga.
