Got two in the Bond market but the oldest only goes back four years or so. James Norton 9-2. Also got Aaron Taylor-Johnson at 33s last year, which is nice.
The bets were placed in the summer of 2020, just after he'd won the L1 golden boot for Posh. He was 24 at the time and been pushing for a move to Barnsley, who came in for him before Brentford put in a suitable bid. Fine lines and all that. The choice of two small clubs and he just happened to land in the right place.
I'd given up tbh. The Nations League games last year had looked his best chance, but he was brought into the squad and left on the bench. He was never going to the World Cup after that. Then the betting scandal broke and that looked like the end. Nice to run good.
Grealish's miss to finish the game and Shaw's red killed his chances in Italy. Calmer waters tomorrow, though, and this always felt like his best chance.
