Brendan Flood is in a helicopter next to Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, who have turned white as two sheets.
It is January 2011 and Burnley's co-owner and director Flood, a specialist in property development, has hired a helicopter and picked them up in Neville's back garden to fly to a potential property opportunity in Gleneagles.
The midwinter weather is blowing a gale and it starts snowing. The trio are bumping up and down, rocking from side to side and they are silent. 'All I could think of as I could see the ground heading closer is, I'm going to die anonymously here,' Flood recalls.
