Gift of life pledges Paul’s soul to Red Devils

SOME would hail him as a modern-day Dr Faustus, the man who sold his soul to the Devil for 24 years of satanic indulgence.

Except Paul Warburton went one better - he sold his soul to 11 Red Devils to indulge his brother Martin.

Better red than dead, Paul thought, as he accepted Manchester United supporter Martin’s offer of a life-saving transplant on condition he renounce his lifelong allegiance to Manchester City and switch from blues to reds.
