Certainly makes for some interesting reading…….
31st March
Arsenal v Barcelona (2-2)

23rd March
Two Ws came head to head tonight as Wolves travelled to West Ham and it is the former who will have a priceless W for win in the form guide after a remarkable 1-3 win that was matched at odds of [120.0] on Betfair.
West Ham were well-fancied to win this match courtesy of solid home form of late and went off at around the [1.7] mark. Wolves were matched as high as [5.9] to take all three points and never looked back after scoring the opener. In fact, West Ham’s only goal of the match was a last-minute consolation effort which brought great disappointment to those who had backed the 0-3 scoreline at the huge price of [210.0] although it did trade as low as [1.1] meaning in-play traders would have had plenty of chances to “green up”.
The win sees Wolves drift to odds of [8.0] for relegation this year, whilst dragging West Ham right back into it. After looking out of the woods a few weeks ago, the Hammers are now the fourth favourites for the drop at [4.4] with only Portsmouth, Hull and Burnley shorter.
18th March
Fulham v Juve 4-1 (5-4 on aggregate)
• Juventus matched at 1.01 to qualify with £51,544 traded after winning the first leg 3-1
• Fulham backed at 75 in the same market but win the second leg 4-1 to reach the quarter-finals
• The Cottagers have been backed at 560 to win the tournament (£4 traded)
17th March
The history books say no-one has successfully defended their Champions League title but on the evidence of tonight’s performance, only the bravest of layers on Betfair are offering odds of 3.0 that Barcelona won’t be doing just that. Pep Guardiola’s side outclassed Stuttgart in all departments during tonight’s second leg and in hindsight the in-running 1.37 about a home win was a case of “buying money” as Barcelona cruised to a 4-0 win.
The Catalans were only ever matched at a high of 1.34 on the “to qualify” market, when they were trailing the German side 1-0 in the first leg, whilst the “any unquoted” runner in the correct score market drifted to 5.4 before Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s last-minute goal.
No Barcelona rout would be complete without a significant contribution from the genial Lionel Messi and this match was no exception. The Argentinean scored the first and third goals of the match and has gone second-favourite to finish as the competition’s top scorer this year at odds of 3.4. Wayne Rooney’s odds are slightly bigger at 3.6 whilst Cristiano Ronaldo, who won’t be adding to his goal tally this year after Real were knocked out of the competition, is still the favourite at 2.26.
Over in Bordeaux, the French champions also booked their place in the quarter-finals but it was from straightforward. They did take the lead but Olympiacos hit back to level the score at 1-1 and at that stage another goal by the Greeks would have knocked Laurent Blanc’s side out. But it wasn’t to be and a late strike from long-term Arsenal target Marouane Chamakh ensured Bordeaux (matched at a high of 5.6) won the match in the end by 2-1. Bordeaux now trade at odds of 25.0 to win the Champions League, after being backed at odds of 390 earlier on in the competition.
16th March
Another big European night ended in familiar disappointment for Chelsea fans after Inter Milan were matched at odds of 22.0 on Betfair to beat Carlo Ancelotti’s side 1-0 and progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. After last year’s controversial exit to Barcelona in the semi-finals and their penalty shoot-out defeat in the final the year before, Chelsea look destined to not winning Europe’s blue-riband competition.
Curiously, for a third time running Chelsea’s failure will coincide with a suspension for Didier Drogba. He was sent off in the final two years ago, was suspended after his post-match antics in the defeat to Barcelona last year and was dismissed once more tonight, this time for an off-the-ball stamp on Inter midfielder Thiago Motta. A sending off in the match was matched at odds of 4.9
Chelsea went into this match as 1.62 favourites to win in 90 minutes whilst the draw traded at odds of 1.77 before Samuel Eto’s 78th minute winner; the Cameroon star was matched as high as 14.0 to open the scoring with Inter backed at 7.2 just before his goal.
Chelsea’s shock exit has predictably shaken up the winner market on Betfair. Chelsea were strongly fancied to go far this year and traded at just 4.5 to win the competition for the first time in their history. Inter Milan on the other hand, who were backed as high as 50.0 to lift the trophy whilst struggling to get out of the group stages are now the third-favourites at 5.7 with only Barcelona (3.4) and Man Utd (4.8) shorter.
Surprising as Chelsea’s exit was, a far bigger upset was taking place in Sevilla. Having secured a 1-1 away draw at CSKA Moscow, it looked a pretty straightforward task for the La Liga side but a 2-1 win for the Russian outfit saw them progress. The away win was matched at 8.2 with the correct 1-2 scoreline backed at 38. The Russians were also matched at a high of 5.8 to qualify. Betfair traders who backed them as high as 1000.0 to win this competition will have plenty of chances to secure a profit with their price now at the 40.0 mark and that may prove to be the best option. Only Olympiacos (260) and Stuttgart (150) who have huge tasks head of them in their second legs tomorrow night are bigger prices to go on and win the competition, which suggests the Betfair market thinks this as far as they’re going this year.
14th March
It was as business as usual for Manchester United at Old Trafford with a regulation 3-0 win that put them top of the table. There were few surprises on the score-sheet either with that man Wayne Rooney adding two more goals to his tally before Dimitar Berbatov added a late third. United drifted to 1.42 on Betfair when going into the break level at half-time and the flurry of second-half goals caught some of the correct score layers off-guard with backers of the final scoreline securing odds as high as 70.0. The United clean sheet was matched at a high of 1.88. The defending champions are now the favourites for the Premier League at 2.6 with Chelsea 2.72 and Arsenal 4.1
Fulham’s Thursday night Europa League opponents Juventus were on the wrong side of one of the greatest comebacks Betfair’s football markets have ever seen. At 3-0 up at home to the modest Siena, Juventus were matched at Betfair’s minimum price of 1.01 with the draw backed at odds of 160 before three goals from the visitors left Juve fans, and indeed their backers, totally stunned. 3-3 draws are few and far between but this weekend Juve’s wasn’t the only one in Serie A. Over in Livorno, Roma’s visit ended with the same scoreline, which was matched at odds of 220.
There may have just been just the two goals in it, but Manchester City’s visit to Sunderland provided an equally thrilling match as Adam Johnson’s last-gasp equaliser for Roberto Mancini’s side secured a share of the spoils. Sunderland scored early on and spent most of the match trying to protect their lead. They looked like they might do just that and traded as low as 1.13 before Johnson’s curled effort from the edge of the box secured the draw backers (at odds as high as 9.0) a big payday.
13th March
Bolton took a huge step towards avoiding the drop by thrashing Liverpool’s recent conquerors Wigan this afternoon. The Trotters were matched at 2.28 to take all three points and at 3.85 to be leading at half-time and winning at full-time. At odds of 15 to go down now, Betfairians expect Owen Coyle’s side to still be playing in the Premier League next season.
Over at Stamford Bridge it wasn’t all plain sailing for Chelsea but they got there in the end. Having conceded an equaliser when Scott Parker scored from long range effort just before half-time Carlo Ancelotti’s men were under some pressure and drifted to odds of 1.55 to win the match. But two second-half goals from Didier Drogba and one from Florent Malouda were enough to allow Chelsea to go favourites for the Premier League once again at 2.48, with Man Utd yet to play Fulham this weekend.
Spurs may be well out of the title race but their 3-1 win over Blackburn has allowed them to remain in real contention for a Top Four finish. At 3.6 they’re the same price as Liverpool but behind Man City who are the 2.5 favourites to clinch the last remaining Champions League spot with Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal virtual shoo-ins. The 3-1 scoreline against Blackburn was matched at 42.0.
Wolves came out on top in the six-pointer of a match over at Turf Moor, which has seen them eased out to 2.9 for the drop. The defeat means Burnley are now just 1.28 for the drop themselves, a far cry from the dizzy heights they reached at the start of the season when they were beating the likes of Man Utd and Everton, during which they were matched as big as 3.95 to go down. The Wolves win was matched at a high of 3.8
The comeback kings of the day were Birmingham City who came back from 2-0 down at home to Everton to salvage a draw. The Toffees traded at just 1.09 to take all three points with the draw matched at 14.0 before Birmingham found their feet and scored twice to take a share of the spoils.
9th March
Arsenal sent a chilling message to the remaining Champions League contenders that they mean business after dumping FC Porto out of the competition by winning the second leg 5-0. A hat-trick from Nicklas Bendtner did most of the damage in a game where they were matched at a high of 1.7 on Betfair to win. The Gunners had been matched at a high of 2.2 to qualify when trailing Porto 1-0 in the first leg.
It was a good night for those who had predicted plenty of goals with odds of 10 being matched on both the “any unquoted” scorelines and on five or more goals being scored in the match. Although they are already in the quarter-finals, Arsenal are still the biggest priced of the three English teams to win the Champions League at odds of 10. Despite still having tricky second legs against AC Milan and Inter Milan to negotiate, Manchester United and Chelsea are both trading at 7.0.
If it was goals you wanted, another five were scored in Florence this evening as Fiorentina beat Bayern Munich 3-2, yet still went out on the away goals rule. The Italians were matched at 3.5 to win the match and that was ultimately a winning bet, as was the 3.7 Bayern were matched at to qualify. The big winning punters were those who predicted the 3-2 scoreline though, that was matched at the most attractive odds of 95. Having been matched at a high of 150 to win this competition whilst seriously struggling in the group stages, Louis Van Gaal’s team are now chalked up at 14.5 on Betfair to go all the way.
3rd March
England v Egypt (3-1)
Mohamed Zidan matched at 24 to be first scorer
England backed at a high of 4
Egypt matched at a low of 2.32
Final score of 3-1 backed at 22
England 7 to win the World Cup
France v Spain (0-2)
Spain backed at 2.88
Spain 5.3 favourites to win the World Cup
France 18.5 to win the World Cup
Germany v Argentina (0-1)
Argentina backed at 4 in-running
Argentina 12 to win the World Cup
Germany 15 to win the World Cup
Scotland v Czech Republic
Scotland backed at 5 to win as they opened the Craig Levein era with a victory

Pimp My Car Like a Footy Star

So you are a Premier League footballer with a nice wag on your arm but what do you need next, a flashy motor of course.
And help is at hand as Yianni Charalambous is in the business of providing elite and customised vehicles through the process of ‘wrapping’. Seems like most of the Arsenal boys have already had this treatment to their wheels and even Gordon Ramsey has been wrapped!
See the Players and Their Cars Here
Or if you fancy owning a ready made one courtesy of some of the Pompey players who are now trying to flog it as they think it has jinxed their season!
The Pompey skipper blames it for the club’s run of bad luck and decided to auction it on eBay, with proceeds going to charity. But last night it was still at their training ground after failing to meet its asking price. Pompey bought the 1992 Robin LX two years ago as punishment for the player who put in the least amount of effort in the week. The car is painted like The A-Team’s black-and-red van and comes with a trailer, alloy wheels and a megaphone on the roof.
More Nugget Profits

You will no doubt remember our previous articles concerning of the Nugget Crew Football Trading service.
At bet72.com we are all particularly excited about this latest venture as we genuinely feel this is a great opportunity for everyone to make some good steady profits throughout the year.
And this was true again as we struck instant green on the recent Arsenal v Porto Champions League tie.
Using one of the boys new strategies we backed over 2.5 goals and the 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 0-1 and 0-2 scorelines pre kick off and went Bendtner struck after just 10 mins we locked in an all green profit, job done.
But also we had constructed a trading position such that even if the first goal took time to come we were still covered. As whilst the odds on the Over 2.5 goals would continue to drift, the odds in the correct score market would be working for us so we always had the safety net of some insurance, often overlooked with a lot of other trading strategies.
UPDATE: Also tucked up a nice green screen on the Man United v AC Milan tie. Advice was to BACK Over 2.5 goals with some 0-0 insurance, in and out in 13 mins thanks to a certain Mr Wayne Rooney!
In working with The Nugget Crew, we have two of the leading professional football traders at our disposal so we all have the opportunity to develop and nurture some very profitable football trading strategies together.
These boys are well known to our members of the bet72 membership site and have provided some invaluable content, free trading strategy guide book, many videos and live webinars over the last few weeks.
They have demonstrated the importance of determining a strategy that fits the criteria of a selected match, is adaptable when the game is “in-play” and has various exit points for closing both a winning and possible losing trade. Correct Score markets, Match Odds and Under/Over 2.5 goal markets are the most popular markets as evidenced by the amount of liquidity available. But they show how trading different markets in the same match can produce dividends. It’s a balancing act that requires knowledge of the movements of odds in markets that are mutually linked to each other. These boys really show what can be done by with a little out of the box thinking.
If you want a little flavour of the Nugget Boys, they have kindly allowed us to show one of their videos from their Nugget Collection below, really does make you think what can be done. And with World Cup year almost upon us, plus live football of some sort on virtually every single day of the week, getting some niche trading strategies in your toolbox could be a very profitable weapon to have, I have been picking up plenty of green screens lately that is for sure.

The collection retails at £39.99 for 8 or £59.99 for the full set of 13 strategies, you can check out the full list of videos and some further sneak previews over at the boy’s site:

Betfair Stat Attack – February
February 27, 2010 by Darren Hall

Welcome to Stat Attack with our friends over at BETFAIR
Here we give a round up of the pick of the prices traded on the exchange during the past month’s football.
Certainly makes for some interesting reading…….
27th February
Stoke v Arsenal (1-3)
Arsenal traded at a high of 3.65
Final score of 3-1 backed at 100
Arsenal are 4.3 to win the league
Chelsea v Manchester City (2-4)
Chelsea backed at 1.16 to win the game when opening the scoring through Frank Lampard
Chelsea backed at 1.01 to have the lead at HT
City backed at 46 to win
Over 5.5 goals backed at 50
Chelsea trade at 2.48 to win Premier League, Manchester United at 2.64, Arsenal at 4.7
City are 2.3 for a top four finish
Birmingham v Wigan (1-0)
Brum backed at 2.28 to win
Wigan can be backed at 5 to go down
Bolton v Wolves (1-0)
Wanderers backed at 2.44
Wolves 1.38 to be relegated
Burnley v Portsmouth (1-2)
Pompey traded at an in-running high of 6.4 to win
Burnley 1.37 to go down, Portsmouth trade at 1.02 in the same market
Sending off backed at 30 after Rocha
23rd February
Stuttgart v Barcelona (1-1)
Draw backed at 6 after Stuttgart take lead
Barca 1.1 to go through to the quarters
Olympiacos v Bordeaux (0-1)
Bordeaux backed at 3.15 to win
Bordeaux backed at 80 to win at halftime after scoring the only goal of the game in the 47th minute
French champions 1.12 to qualify from the tie
21st February
Manchester City and Liverpool played out a cagey, goalless draw at Eastlands this afternoon which means no ground was made by either side in the battle for fourth place. Liverpool are now slightly shorter than City at 3.05 to finish in the top four with Mancini’s boys at 3.25. The 0-0 score was correctly predicted at 11.5 on Betfair.
Aston Villa picked up another three points that kept alive their own hopes of still finishing the season in fourth place after being matched at odds of 2.76 on Betfair to beat Burnley. Villa drifted to this price in-running after Steven Fletcher’s early strike for the visitors but their comeback was nothing short of remarkable, scoring five before Burnley hit back with a consolation goal at the death. All of which was good news for those who had backed seven goals or more at the massive price of 60. Villa are now trading at odds of 4.0 for a Champions League spot whilst the defeat means Burnley are just 1.77 for the drop with only Portsmouth at 1.1 shorter.
Earlier in the day another relegation-threatened side also came back from their travels empty-handed when Bolton succumbed to Blackburn. The home team drifted to odds of 2.56 but won pretty comprehensively in the end with the 3-0 scoreline backed at 34.
Neither Birmingham nor Fulham are in any danger of the drop but the former will be kicking themselves after letting a 1-0 lead slip against another Europa League-place rival. A super strike from Damien Duff put Fulham back in the game before an injury-time winner from Bobby Zamora from a free-kick settled matters. As the free-kick was being taken the draw was being backed at 1.2 while Roy Hodgson’s team were matched by some ambitious, and ultimately shrewd backers at odds of 11.5 when the Cottagers were a goal down.
20th February
Everton staged a remarkable comeback against Manchester United this lunchtime which saw the final 3-1 scoreline matched at 140 on Betfair. When most teams go one down against the Premier League champions they normally take nothing from the match but this side of David Moyes’ is more spirited than most and those who backed Everton in the match odds as high as 22.0 will be grateful. United were backed at a low of 1.28 after Dimitar Berbatov, matched at 9.6 on the first goalscorer market, had put Sir Alex Ferguson’s troops ahead.
United are now 3.8 for the Premier League after Chelsea took advantage of their slip-up by going to Molineaux and taking all three points. Carlo Ancelotti’s men made a slow start to the match and could even have gone behind, drifting from starting odds of 1.3 to 1.64 before a Didier Drogba double settled matters. Those two goals have seen his odds to finish the season as the league’s top goalscorer slashed to 2.22 incidentally after 1.8 favourite Wayne Rooney drew a blank.
Over at the Emirates, Arsenal secured a win but it was far from straightforward. Many would have predicted a comfortable win but it needed an injury-time penalty by Cesc Fabregas for Gunners fans to be able to feel the win was in the bag after Niklas Bendtner’s early strike. At 8.6 Arsenal aren’t completely out of the title race but will be relying on plenty of slip-ups from Chelsea and Manchester United.
At Upton Park West Ham secured a healthy 3-0 win over Hull City after being matched at a high of 1.96, with the scoreline matched at 21. West Ham’s relegation fears were eased with these priceless three points as they now trade at 8 but the result predictably had the adverse effect on their opponents. Hull trade as the 1.94 favourites for the drop with only Portsmouth (1.14) and Burnley 91.82) shorter.
16th February
Manchester United took a huge step towards qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League tonight as they beat AC Milan at the San Siro after being matched at odds of 9.0 on Betfair. The inimitable Ronaldinho was backed at 11.5 to open the scoring but that’s as good as it got for the home side with a fortuitous goal from Paul Scholes and a brace from Wayne Rooney turning the tie on its head. Milan were matched at a low of 1.44 when they were in the lead.
Many predicted a cautious affair before kick-off with goals at a premium but some Betfair punters disagreed and put their money where their mouth was, with five goals or more backed at odds of 20.0 and the 2-3 scoreline matched at 65. United are now 1.11 to qualify for the quarters, having briefly touched 2.0 when going behind earlier tonight.
Wayne Rooney’s two goals have seen his odds of finishing as the tournament’s top scorer chopped to 9.0 after being matched as high as 75.0 whilst United’s price to win this year’s Champions League has also unsurprisingly shortened to 6.8, making them joint-third favourites alongside Real Madrid, and behind just Barcelona and Chelsea.
The reason Real are on the drift is as a direct result of their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lyon in tonight’s other tie. Matched at a low of 2.0, they couldn’t find that priceless away goal. Lyon were matched at a high of 4.9 to win the match but the Betfair market thinks the one goal lead won’t be enough to see them through. From a high of 5.5 to qualify, Lyon are now chalked up at 2.58 with Real fancied to turn the tie around in the second leg, which is why they’re the favourites at odds of 1.62.
6/7th February
Bolton v Fulham
Wanderers matched at 2.18 to beat Fulham
One goal or more traded at 1.09
Burnley v West Ham
Burnley backed at 3 to win first game under Brian Laws
Burnley now even money chances to be relegated with 18th placed West Ham 4.6 in the same market
Hull v Manchester City
Hull backed at 6.2 to take all three points
Two-one final score 24
City now 3 to finish in top four having traded at 1.6
Manchester United v Portsmouth
Five-nil final score backed at 20
Over 5.5 goals backed at 1.5
United now 2.4 to win the league ahead of Sunday’s clash between Chelsea and Arsenal
Portsmouth 1.2 to go down
Stoke v Blackburn
Stoke backed at 2.46 to win
Sunderland v Wigan
Wigan backed at a low of 1.59 to win
Draw traded at a high of 5.3
Birmingham v Wolves (2-1)
Brum backed at in-running high of 32 after scoring twice in the last ten minutes to overhaul Wolves
Wolves touched a low of 1.3 to win
Wolves 1.9 to be relegated

Pay What You Want and Sit Where You Want

Here’s a really great idea to put a stop to falling attendances around the country…..Pay What You Want and Sit Where You Want.
Hats off to Mansfield for coming up with something like this and in an era of take, take take in football, it is great to see someone giving something back to fans.
Here are all the details from The Stags website…….

We are offering the people of Mansfield a one-off opportunity to pay ANY admission price to watch our home match against Gateshead on Saturday 6 February 2010.
The revolutionary decision was made by our four owners as a token of thanks to the people of Mansfield for their support.
People can simply turn up on the day and pay any amount at the turnstile.
Spectators can sit anywhere in the stadium (except in Season Ticket Holders’ seats and the North Stand) as the entire ground will be open for the match.
Season Ticket Holders’ seats will remain reserved and they are advised to bring their season ticket books as usual.
This once-in-a-lifetime offer will also apply to Gateshead supporters.
Chairman Andrew Perry told www.mansfieldtown.net: “This is a gesture to the whole town and outlying districts.
“The Town has supported us since the takeover of the club and we are now giving something back to the community by allowing people to come to the match for a price which they decide.
“Spectators will not have to buy tickets, all they have to do is simply turn up on the turnstile and pay what they like.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for the people of Mansfield to get behind the manager and players in our bid for promotion.Let’s pack the ground for this match and roar the team on to victory.
“Season Ticket holders are also welcome to make a donation if they so wish.
“All monies which have come into this great football club since the start of the season, have gone towards the playing budget.”

I Made £50 While I Put Up My Christmas Tree
December 15, 2009 by Darren Hall
Filed under News
Yes that time of year when we must all disappear into the loft, wrestle with the boxes and untangle 250ft of coloured lights before the whole family argue about what goes where on the tree, of course, this is part of the joyous ritual, that are Christmas Decorations.
However thanks to The Nugget Crew, Bingo and Adster, this year’s annual experience was made far more pleasurable thanks to an extra £50 that ended up in my Betfair account, by following a couple of their ingenious football trading strategies. I just dropped my bets in the market, waited for the exit points to hit and I was all green well before before the last bulbul had been hung, look below….

These boys are well known to our members of the bet72 membership site and have provided some invaluable content, free trading strategy guide book, many videos and live webinars over the last few weeks.
They have demonstrated the importance of determining a strategy that fits the criteria of a selected match, is adaptable when the game is “in-play” and has various exit points for closing both a winning and possible losing trade. Correct Score markets, Match Odds and Under/Over 2.5 goal markets are the most popular markets as evidenced by the amount of liquidity available. But they show how trading different markets in the same match can produce dividends. It’s a balancing act that requires knowledge of the movements of odds in markets that are mutually linked to each other. These boys really show what can be done by with a little out of the box thinking.
If you want a little flavour of the Nugget Boys, they have kindly allowed us to show one of their videos from their Nugget Collection below, really does make you think what can be done. And with World Cup year almost upon us, plus live football of some sort on virtually every single day of the week, getting some niche trading strategies in your toolbox could be a very profitable weapon to have, I have been picking up plenty of green screens lately that is for sure.

Saudi striker Nawaf Al Abed has scored what newspapers in the Kingdom are claiming to be the fastest goal ever recorded in a professional football match, when he gave Al Hilal the lead after only two seconds.
The incident took place in the Prince Faisal bin Fahad Cup match between Al Hilal and Al Shoalah. The goal was officially clocked at two seconds and the match eventually ended in a 4-0 win for Al Hilal.
Wow…..

The miss of the season so far….?
Maybe not as we have just been sent this one too. Feel better now Bobby?
Cannot let a miss section go without this one too. Ronny Rosenthal versus Villa in 1992, wow.
And everyone in England enjoyed this one, Chris Iwelumo’s terrible miss against Norway plus some really funny Scottish Commentary, classic.

Final Score: Bristol 255 Leeds 285

Over the Easter weekend 36 blokes played football for 36 consecutive hours to break the world record and raise a shed load of cash for some great charities.
The Leeds Badgers and the Bristol Academy played a non-stop match for 36 hours, beating the previous record by two hours, 24 minutes. Players went without sleep, battled on in temperatures as low as 1C, and each ran an average of 70km over the duration of the match.
Leeds eventually triumphed over Bristol by 285 goals to 255.
They will now submit detailed log books and video evidence in order to have their world record officially verified.
The match kicked off at Filton College in Bristol at 10am on April 11, 2009, and finished 36 gruelling hours later at 10pm on April 12.
The 36 players (18 per squad) each played about 20 hours in order to beat the record, which was watched and scrutinised by a dedicated team of timekeepers.
During the match, players were allowed only a five-minute break each hour and were not allowed to leave the pitch side for the entire duration.
Organiser Simon Lynes said: “This was an absolutely incredible effort from all the lads. We were exhausted and there were some tough times in the early hours of the morning but once we got past the 24 hours mark we knew we were going to make it.”
“I’m so proud of each and every one of the players who put in an unbelievable level of effort both before and during the event.”
The game was supported by football legend Ian Rush, who had meningitis as a child and has joined The Meningitis Research Foundation as a patron.
The players raised the money in memory of Jamie Burdett, who played for the Badgers and died from meningitis two years ago.
