Allison told BuzzFeed News how his night panned out that way.

"When we got back to where we were all staying, everyone got off the minibus, but none of my mates checked if I had got off it," he said. "I was asleep, head in my knees, hunched over, on the far back left side of the taxi, so the driver couldn't see me.

"So the taxi driver starts driving home around 4am, and I wake up in Stretford around 4:30am by hearing the sound of the engine stop.

"As you would expect I shat myself! I looked around and couldn't see anyone, and so thought one of my drinks had been spiked and that I had been kidnapped or something."
