like an unknown kid? not complete unknowns. thinking about young pros already playing at club level but currently nowhere near international call ups |

Chris Kirkland's old man had a £100 bet on at 100-1 that one day his son would play for England.
When his son got that cap, just a year or two into his £40,000 a week club contract, his dad must have been overwhelmed to pick up the life changing £10k from the bookies.
Obv still nice

so no specific booky then?
I like the kirkland story although it saddened me a bit as up until then I'd been blissfully unaware that he'd ever played for england. how on earth did that happen?

hills usually give you a price on anything, if not ladbrokes. |

You could try any bookie though Hills have the most established Specials compilers (as Graham Sharpe likes getting in the papers and on the telly).
You can get a bookie to give you odds on anything - just go in and ask and they'll ring up head office.
Whether they'll give you a decent price, or let you have more than a tenner on it is another matter...

Yes on Joe Hart, not sure how much... It was when he was Shrewsbury's no.1 at 18/19, so if its a 14/15 I would expect a pretty decent price... |
