Lifeboat crews have made an unusual rescue off the coast of Anglesey - an elderly man and a wheelie bin. The story that has emerged in the last couple of days but only now have the full details been discovered through the freedom of information act.
What started as a celebration nearly ended in tears and tragedy when players and staff a like at Manchster United got a little too tipsy during the end of season party.
United players were involved in getting Sir Alex Ferguson into a wheelie-bin sealed the lid and threw him into the Irish sea, what started out as an innocent prank soon turned deadly as the swell swept the bin away in minutes. The Coast Guard was called and he was picked up suffering from mild hypothermia and taken to hospital in Bangor by ambulance.
The crew said the man was not wearing a life jacket or waterproof clothing .
The Moelfre crew then went back out to tow in the wheelie bin, which was still half full of rubbish. Moelfre lifeboat station spokesman Dave Massey said: "Everyone at the Moelfre lifeboat station wishes the gentleman a speedy recovery.
One eyewitness said "The volunteer lifeboat crews at Moelfre have dealt with a wide variety of emergency calls over the years but I am sure that this is the first time we have been involved in towing in a wheelie bin."
I guess the players were all at sea on the night in question, sorry had to reel that one in.

Was it a recycling bin or general waste? Did they ask Fergie "Where've you bin?"
