Bookmaker pays out on John Terry substitution against Sunderland

This is a modal window.

After a storied Chelsea career, John Terry delivers a heart-felt goodbye to those in attendance at Stamford Bridge.

A bookmaker has paid out to three people who bet on the specific time of Chelsea captain John Terry's 26th-minute substitution against Sunderland at odds of 100-1.

Paddy Power accepted the wagers on Terry being substituted between the times of 26:00 and 26:59 in Sunday's Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, his last in the competition as a Chelsea player.

Relegated Sunderland were aware of the plan -- which Terry said was his idea -- and a Premier League source told ESPN FC's Liam Twomey that the organisation was relaxed about it.
