Man United fan stops council painting house in Man City’s colours!!!

A life-long Manchester United fan has won a row with his local council over plans to paint his house electric blue – the colour of bitter local rivals City.

Dedicated Edward Bowkett, 61, was furious when he discovered his terraced home was going to be painted blue as part of an overhaul of the street.

Edward, who grew up in Manchester and has supported The Reds since he was four, pleaded with his housing association not to go ahead with plans to paint it blue. More + photos...
