PAUL GASCOIGNE recalls being caught by Sir Bobby Robson as he sipped a pina colada on the beach during the World Cup.

Paul Gascoigne reminisced about World Cup memories
Sir Bobby Robson caught Gazza out as he enjoyed a drink on the beach
And while he was there, Gascoigne loved every minute of his World Cup experience.
Chatting to Sky Sports ahead of Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad announcement for Qatar, the 55-year-old looked back at some of his fondest memories.
He said: "So for me, to be playing football every single day, I loved it, even though I got up to trouble now and again, got caught by Sir Bobby Robson!
"Even got caught having a pina colada on the beach, which he went mad on.
"I said 'it's a milkshake gaffer'. He went 'no it's not, it's got an umbrella on'.
"I went 'oh yeah, it's a pina colada'. He went 'give it us here'."
On how much fun he had being part of the tournament environment, Gascoigne added: "I wish it was me going out there, given the opportunity to play again.
"It's important that the players make the most of every day - even in training.
"I loved training more than I did the matches to be fair. I just loved it, being amongst the lads.
"You think about it, it could be six weeks that you're playing football.
"I loved playing football anyway."
