12 volt motor transistor


i must using wrong transistor 12 volt dc motor because heating up. 
it's npn tip3055 transistor.
power dissipation: 75 w
collector-emitter voltage: 60 v
collector - base voltage: 70 v
emitter-base voltage 5 v
collector current: 10 a

what kind of numbers should have on transistor?
i'm wiring first schematic here: http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/workshop/motors_1.html

that not terrible. how hot? can keep finger on it?

it depends upon numbers have on motor! how current draw @ 12v?
