...Mike Tyson has offered to provide counselling and support to troubled Paul Gascoigne when he tours the UK.
The former Newcastle United player recently suffered a mental breakdown and had to spend two weeks in a psychiatric hospital.
Former heavyweight champion Tyson believes his own chequered past could help the 40-year-old.
The 41-year-old 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 is why I want to help.
Tyson said: "Back in 2005, Wayne Rooney was on a downer and I met him and lifted his spirits.
"I am sure I can do the same for Paul Gascoigne."
Tyson was convicted of rape in 1992 and jailed for a day in November 2007 for driving while under the influence of drugs....
Not to mention the fact that he was an entirely disillusioned violent thug, covered with mad tattoos, bit someone's ear off in front of millions of people, and with a general history of really quite mental antics, he's otherwise the perfect person to help Gazza recover his normality.
