Hull City boss Phil Brown has revealed they saved the life of a young woman when taking his squad for a walk across the Humber Bridge this week..
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 got more than he bargained for.
"We walked across there on Wednesday," Brown said. "We saved a girl actually - considering her future, shall we say."
The Humber Bridge - one of the longest suspension bridges in the world - is a popular focal point for visitors but suicides have not been uncommon since it opened in 1981.
When asked how he managed to dissuade the woman from jumping, Brown spoke of "sweet talk" but then added that he did not really know if she was planning to end her life.
"You don't know do you, until someone jumps, whether they were actually going to do it," he said.
The woman, who claimed "she was 40-plus but looked a lot younger than that", then "tootled off back to wherever she came from".
