Former Lazio midfielder Paul Gascoigne has been charged with an alleged sexual assault after an incident on a train in the UK.
The 51-year-old joined the Biancocelesti in the summer of 1992, and while his form was inconsistent he became a fans favourite after scoring a last minute equaliser in the Derby della Capitale against Roma.
Gascoigne struggled off the pitch during his playing career, and has since battled alcoholism, depression and drug problems.
