Gazza May Become a Scholar
FITNESS He's offered to give Paul Gascoigne a run-out with the Scholars if Jones wants to check the former England star's fitness. Rowe is more concerned about the state of Dave Cockbill, who is nursing bruised ribs after being the victim of a car accident. But Chasetown should be boosted by the return of Aaron Skelding, Rob Simcox and former Kidderminster Harriers ace Steve Taylor. Article from Sports Argus - Sat 18th October 2003 Gascoigne So Happy to be Invited Paul Gascoigne has completed his first training session with the Wolves squad.The former England star arrived at the Compton Park training ground this morning with his former international team mate and friend, Paul Ince before meeting the rest of the Wolves players.
"I really enjoyed this morning’s session. They’re a great bunch of lads and I can’t tell you how pleased I am to have been invited here, to a Premier League team. It doesn’t really do anyone any harm, my being here and I’ll train until the end of the week and then see what happens next week. It’ll take me a few weeks to be match fit but as all I am doing is training then there’s no real timescale on how long I’ll be here or what I do after that." Paul has most recently been playing in China but the former Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio and Rangers star parted company with Gansu Tianma six months ago. Over the past few weeks there has been reports linking him with a Middle Eastern club and Third Division Darlington. "I just miss the banter in the dressing room," said Paul. "There’s been talk of Dubai and places like that but nothing’s come off as yet. "I’m just going along, working on my fitness and I’d love to get back playing. If anything came of training here then that’d be great but if not, that’s not a problem. I really miss the game and it’s great being back with lads out training again."

Chasetown
boss Michael Rowe has made a cheeky offer to Wolves boss
Dave Jones.
After training the
36-year-old spoke about the reasons why he chose to contact
Wanderers as he seeks to regain his full fitness. "I
spoke to Paul Ince a few days ago and asked him if he thought
I’d be able to come and train here," he said. "I
need to get my fitness up and while I’ve been working
in the gym a lot on my own, I needed to get in touch with
a ball again. So, through speaking to Paul, I got an invite
from Dave Jones and here I am.
