KEVIN COLEY'S THOUGHT 4 THE DAY -IRON MIKE HAS A SOFT HEART

MIKE%20TYSON.jpgBoxing legend Mike Tyson was nick named “the baddest man on the planet”. His controversial behaviour promotes that reputation. By the age of 13 Tyson had been arrested 38 times. His most infamous crime came when he was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant, for which he served 3 years in jail. Last November he was detained in custody for a day while under the influence of drugs and driving.  In 1997 he was disqualified from a boxing match after he bit off part of his opponent’s ear. But now the bad boy has turned good. Tyson has offered to help former England footballer Paul Gascoigne. Gazza has spent two weeks in hospital for psychiatric treatment, and the former heavyweight champion believes he can assist Gascoigne on the road to recovery. Tyson, 41, said: "I know all about Gazza and I feel I can help him. A lot of top sportsmen have suffered in their private lives, including me, and that’s why I want to help’.  Suffering and failure humbles us and changes us. ‘Iron Mike’s’ heart has been softened by the trials and tribulations of life. We may not appreciate the hurt we are experiencing right now. But it will have an end result. The pain in our private lives will either make us bitter or better people.  Which outcome will you choose?
