Mario Balotelli wins £25,000... then gives £1,000 to a tramp
By GORDON SMART, Showbiz Editor

GENEROUS soccer star Mario Balotelli gave £1,000 to a tramp outside a casino - after a whopping £25,000 win.

The Manchester City striker, 20, shared his windfall on a night out with Blackburn Rovers ace Chris Samba.

Balotelli - who earns £100,000 a week after signing from Inter Milan for £24million last year - is said to often give cash to homeless people he sees around Manchester. His latest act of kindness came outside the city's 235 Casino last week.

A source said: "Mario is really generous. He always hands £20 notes to the Big Issue boys without even taking the magazine. There's a guy he always sees around town with ginger dreadlocks and a beard. He carries his possessions in two carrier bags.

"He was outside the club in the early hours so Mario handed him a wad of notes after his big win. The tramp couldn't believe his luck. It was enough to keep him going for months."

Balotelli has frequently hit the headlines for his off-the-pitch antics. At the weekend he had a scuffle with Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand after City's 1-0 win in the FA Cup semi-final. Last month he got an official warning for throwing darts at youth team players at his club's Carrington training ground. That followed his sending off against Dynamo Kiev. His fines now total £300,000 in one season.

I wouldn't recommend we follow that touch of altruism.About the Big issue guys I mean.One of them asked me to buy their mag.I said ok here is your money.He said do you mind not taking this particular one its my last.I said ok.I watched him pull the same stunt on another punter 25 yards away.They usually hang out around drinkers and gamblers.I would question Balos agent for allowing this kind of press to be released into the public domain.It wont hit the right spot with certain people.Just my opinion though,as a citizen moving around Manchester town centre regularly.

I bet Bobby will be pleased about the "outside the club in the early hours" the week before a semi with the scum! Mind you he played well Bobby so maybe make him do it every week?

I don't think it would take him a week to recover from being out till the early hours. Maybe if it was the night before.

more than likely it will turn into:

'Manchester City's Mario Balotelli mugged a tramp outside a Manchester Casino, worth £1,000'

even though everyone knows the tramp wouldn't have £1,000.
