Paul Gascoigne has revealed he donated £1million to charity over a decade during his playing career.
The ex-England midfielder opened up on players' wages and the difference in what young players are paid today compared to when he was a similar age.
'I played for the shirt on my back,' the 51-year-old told The Sun.
'At 18 years of age I was on £25,000-a-week. Nowadays, I see 18-year-olds on £50,0000-a-week. And if you're that age on 50 grand a week, who gives a s*** if you're playing well or badly?
'There was money in my day but I gave £1million to charity over 10 years and never told anybody.
'I knocked on people's doors at 4am to give them £10,000 to go to Disney World.'
England boss Gareth Southgate mentioned Gascoigne as the only England player in his lifetime who could run a game following his side's Nations League defeat by Spain.
'He [Southgate] was right, wasn't he? I was the best,' Gascoigne said.
'There will never be another Bryan Robson. There will never be another Pele. And there will never be another Paul Gascoigne.
'I'm the only Paul Gascoigne and I would never put that pressure on a player to be the next one. It's impossible. I'm not being big-headed, it's just impossible. I don't think we'll see anyone like me in the next 20 years. Unfortunately.
'I knew how good I was and when I was on the ball, there wasn't a problem.'
