From the Geordie hotbed of footballing talent, Paul Gascoigne made his name at Newcastle before winning an FA Cup winners' medal with Spurs in 1991. He moved abroad to join Lazio and, despite numerous injuries, still commanded more interest than any other English footballer.
As "Gazza" returns from Italy to play for Glasgow Rangers, this interview offers his fans another chance to hear him talk about his own heroes, Johan Cruyff and Bryan Robson, and his hopes for the future.

In the second live visit to the Proms, the Philharmonia Orchestra performs Elgar'sÂEnigma Variations. Before the performance, conductor Leonard Slatkin, an American with a great enthusiasm for English music, gives a personal view of one of the composer's most enduring works.

James Naughtie introduces the concert, which also includes the exciting Concert Music for Brass and Strings by Paul Hindemith and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2.
The soloist is the young Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes.

During the interval, members of the Philharmonia Orchestra, which recently took up a short residency at the Chatelet Theatre in Paris, talk about their double life in two great musical capitals.

(Radio 3 will broadcast a different item during the interval.)
