Galway man stings bookies for €420,000 as 20-team bet lands

It's every punter's dream, and one Galway wish came true this Christmas after he pulled off a 20-team football accumulator.

The lucky bettor, or should we say football savant, turned a fiver into €421,000 from Paddy Power thanks to bets ranging from Chelsea to beat West Ham and Manchester United to beat Newcastle right the way down the football ladder to wins for Barnet, Grimsby and Aldershot. Well done that man - and check out his full list of bets below.
