Hull City’s Egyptian winger Ahmed Elmohamady sparked a panic-stricken search when the wallet containing his travel visa disappeared the day before he was due to fly.
The wallet found itself safely back into his hands after being handed in 50 miles away to Scarborough Police in North Yorkshire, before Mr Elmohamady hired the taxi to transport it home.
