botch7 Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 I was on a stag this weekend just gone by, and I watched the Manchester City v Leicester City match in the hope of course that David would slay Goliath. It was fantastic. But before I sat down to watch the match, I popped into a bookies and I put a small bet on Huth to score the first goal. It was just two minutes before kick off, so I scribbled it on the docket, and off I went to watch the game. Within three minutes I was celebrating, a double delight because Leicester took the lead and my bet had come off. So I popped back the twenty yards to the bookies to collect my winnings. I didn't even know the odds when I placed the bet, I hoped maybe 25/1, but to my surprise and deligt Huth was 40/1 for the first goal. Thrilled, but the guy behind the counter tld me to keep my docket because if he scores again I get double the odds. Now no offence Mr Huth. I ve admired you as a rugged no nonsense toughcentre half for years, and a threat at set pieces in the opposing penalty area you certainly always have been, but two goals? in one game? away? at man city? come on...NEVER gonna happen...The rest I history, and inspired by those two goals, the joy of my 80/1 win, and a drink or two.. I put a song on the juke box, and I dedicate this adaptation to you Mr HuthHuth only scores twice, or so it seems...One goal for himself, and one for my dreams..He drifts through the years, and life seems tame..Then out of the blue, scores two in one game..Now he is a legend, we ll beckon him on, we can dream of the title, now that city have gone.This dream can come true, so roll the dice, make this dream come true, Huth only scores twice...Best of luck in the remaining games.Edwin Ambrose.

kushiro Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 Love it. Made me search for the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs8uYxTJ530
botch7 Posted 9 February 2016 Author Posted 9 February 2016 ha thanks Kushiro. My 5 minutes of endeavour wasn't completely wasted.
Larry_LCFC Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 Out of interest, what on earth possessed you to bet on Huth scoring first? clearly the gods like you alot.
botch7 Posted 9 February 2016 Author Posted 9 February 2016 ha that's exactly the question all my mates were asking me on Saturday. I just figured he would be up for set pieces and hes always a threat in the air on corners and free kicks around the box, so I thought id take a punt just for kicks. And since I was only sticking on a fiver there was no point in backing Vardy or someone cos there'd be no value in his odds. But my fiver on Huth turned into 400 quid, so happy days.
kushiro Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 ha thanks Kushiro. My 5 minutes of endeavour wasn't completely wasted. It's that line about 'drifting through the years' that makes it. Any football fan (or player?) can identify with that. Like '30 Years of Hurt'.
deep blue Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 Please place a bet for Leicester to win the league. That'll cement it.

I had an feeling a centre back would score, but went for Morgan. Second time I've bet on the wrong centre back, I was watching a Liverpool Man Utd game a few years back and bet on Agger to net the first, and Skrtel did instead.
Webbo Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 Always bet the centre half for first scorer. They go up for corners and free kicks, Lways in with a chance.
