"You've got to realise I'm half cut anyway, sitting in the living room, I've got about six lines [of cocaine] lined up," he said.
"I'm not realising much but a good line and me and Raoul Moat are sort of friends. A couple more lines and we are good buddies."
He continued: "A few whiskies, another few lines, I've had about eight lines and we went to school together.
"He was in Rothbury, that's where I used to go fishing so I know the area quite well."
The 48-year-old, who is recovering from addiction, said that cocaine distorted his 'relationship' with Moat, who later when on to shoot himself dead following the huge police manhunt.
"Another line and I have a couple of fishing rods and a chicken. He's going to need a drink. I've had 14 lines now and he's my brother.
"I've got my fishing rods, I've got Barbour jacket, I've got my four cans, I've got my chicken. My chicken is important because he must be starving."
Gazza then said he called a taxi and demanded to be taken fishing and got the terrified driver to take him to the scene of the police stand-off in rural Northumberland.
But the police would not let Gazza - with his cans of lager, chicken and fishing tackle - through to talk to Moat.
"He said just go home. I was devastated because my chicken was getting cold. So anyway I make it back home, I fall asleep with a bottle of whisky," he said.
"You know in the morning when you panic the first thing you do is look at your mobile.
"I've got 250 missed calls, I was like — what have I done? I've got a chicken by my side, fishing rods, a Barbour, I'm like f**k me I must have done something.
"I turn on Sky News — Paul Gascoigne was there last night."Explore more on these topics:
