Medic Gone Wild: The Boot Scootin’ Boot Bandit!…
In a plot twist worthy of a football soap opera, the corrid-dork of Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium has been uncovered! Meet David McNally, a paramedic-turned-pilferer who switched from saving lives to saving on eBay fees, engaging in a bustling four-year theft fiesta. His shopping cart? Manchester City’s love-em-or-leave-em football treasures!
David, known to friends as “the medic with the midas touch,” turned his badge of honour into a badge of mischief, roaming the stadium like a stealthy cat burglar. Even his decades-long stint as a frontline lifesaver didn’t stop him from sneaking away with goodies such as Sergio Aguero’s personalized boots, all to top up his cola budget! The judge even described his antics as ‘breathtakingly brazen’—could he have been a thief-spirational speaker in another life?
Despite his heart-thumping escapades, the Crown Court showed mercy, handing him a ten-month prison term, cunningly suspended. Oh, and a curfew plus community service—you might spot him sweeping streets with a blue broom! We may never know if he bought a mini-island with his loot, but one thing’s for sure—McNally scored an own goal with this caper.
