HULL City boss Phil Brown claims to have saved the lives of everyone on the entire planet in a bizarre encounter with Satan while taking his team for a walk across the Humber Bridge this week.

Under pressure after a dismal start to the season, Brown has varied his training methods since last Saturday's 6-1 thrashing at Liverpool in the hope of stimulating his team.

Among his ideas was for the squad to go "looking for clarity" by taking in some fresh air from Hull's iconic landmark - but the manager said he got more than he bargained for.

"We walked across there," Brown said. "We saved the whole world, actually, Satan was about to bring destroy humanity with a reign of terror by bringing his minions of evil through a portal just off the South Tower of the bridge, shall we say."

The Humber Bridge - one of the longest suspension bridges in the world - is a popular focal point for visitors but the appearance of portals to other dimensions have not been uncommon since it opened in 1981.

When asked how he managed to dissuade Beelzebub from unleashing unholy wrath on a global scale, Brown spoke of "sweet talk" but then added that he did not really know if the Devil was just pulling his leg.

"You don't know do you, until someone actually tries to destroy the entire planet, whether they were actually going to do it?" he said.

Satan, who Brown claimed "was 600,000 years old-plus but looked a lot younger than that", then "tootled off back to wherever she came from".
