A CITY fan says his dream trip to see his team in the Champions League final turned into a ‘nightmare’ after he was detained, beaten and deported without explanation.
Jamie Royle, 36, from Failsworth, claims he was struck with a cosh and handcuffed by border police before being dragged into a room where he was attacked, just minutes after landing at Istanbul Airport. He says he was then held there overnight before being forced onto a flight back to Manchester the following morning meaning he missed out on witnessing the Blues’ historic Treble triumph.
