Raoul Moat’s daughter blames Paul Gascoigne for ‘hero-worship’ of her killer dad

The former footballer turned up as Moat was surrounded by armed police officers – Gazza was famously wearing a dressing gown and had brought chicken, lager and a fishing rod

Raoul Moat’s daughter Chantelle blames Paul Gascoigne for people hero-worshipping her father.

The former Newcastle, Tottenham and England footballer turned up at the scene as Moat was being surrounded by armed police officers. The pitch legend, in his dressing gown, had brought chicken, lager and a fishing rod, determined to talk to Moat. He has since said he believed he was the “best therapist in the world” and was capable of “saving Raoul”.

But Chantelle blasted the star, saying: “I think people hero-worship my dad because of Gazza. Because he turned up at the scene with food and a fishing rod, he turned it into a joke. Paul Gascoigne said he was trying to save him because he had kids.

“But we were better off with him dead. I don’t mourn him. I mourn the dad I should have had. We would never have been safe.” She said Moat conned people into liking him with a “mask”. She added: “Look at how many people put flowers down for him, it’s ridiculous. How is it that what he did is not enough for you not to realise? It’s ridiculous and it made me angry. By idolising him they are saying his crimes are okay, that what he did to me was okay.”
