Citation Mike Austin : But not all of his memories have been fond ones, his best friend, Gordon Howes, was mauled to death by two lions during a training session in Ireland in 1978. Mike looks at the floor solemnly as he holds out the tooth from the lion that killed his friend. He describes how Gordons three children were watching as the lions attacked him; his last words were "take the kids out."
