Touch me, I’m English?

Paddy Power entices through the unconventional

Wednesday 25th February 2004



Paddy Power, the largest provider of fixed-odds sports betting in the Republic of Ireland, is known for it, ahem, unconventional approach to low-stake betting. Acknowledging the fact that many punters use sportsbooks for fun as well as finance Paddy Power often offer cheeky extras.

Tonight’s betting on the Champions League match between England’s Man United and Spain’s Porto has an added twist. If your wager has not come up trumps by the end of the match then not all is lost. In fact, nothing will be lost should an English player be the last to kick the ball. Single stakes up to £200 will be returned should the last player to touch leather be eligible to play for the English national side. And with the industriousness of Paul Scholes it’s not a bad back up to have.

Odds to win:

Porto 2-1

Draw 23-10

Man Utd 5-4

Kick off: Wednesday 25th February 2004, 19:45
