THE moron who bought the booze that landed Paul Gascoigne back in hospital is a convicted drug dealer.

Justin Wallage, 42, got a bottle of Gordon’s gin for Gazza after supermarket staff refused to serve him alcohol.

Last night Wallage, known as Jutty, was called a scumbag and parasite by former neighbours.

He was jailed for three years and 11 months in 2003 for being part of a gang that supplied millions of pounds worth of drugs.

Wallage stored and delivered heroin, cocaine and ecstasy for drug boss Russell Knaggs.

He is said to be a heavy boozer himself who is banned from most of the local pubs and spends most days in the bookies.

One former neighbour said: “What he’s done to Gazza is disgusting. He’s such a scumbag.”

A ex-pal, who lives near Wallage in Bournemouth, said: “He makes people’s lives a misery and spends his life getting p***ed, fighting and gambling.”

England footie legend Gazza, 48, who has battled alcoholism for 12 years, was taken to hospital by ambulance after guzzling the gin at his flat in Poole on Wednesday.

He was later discharged.

Wallage bizarrely claimed yesterday: “I’m his pal, I know Paul.

“He’s not a celebrity any more so I don’t know why you’re interested.”
