A 24-year-old man from Doncaster has won just under £3,000, after placing a £10 bet on Middlesbrough and Bradford to win in Saturday’s FA cup tie.


Plumber, James Howe, placed £10 on his selections, the two biggest outsiders on a day of FA Cup shocks, landing himself nearly £3000 in the process.


“I had another accumulator with Manchester City and Chelsea in it but after watching Cambridge United bag themselves a draw against my side, Manchester United, I thought I would have to have a cheeky tenner on the other two underdogs,” said Mr Howe, of Newark Road, Rossington.

He continued: “I’m glad I did!”
