Paddy Power pay out on John Terry's substitution time at 100-1 as bookmaker laments: 'We should have clocked there'd be another cringe-worthy Chelsea send-off'

Three punters have been paid out by a bookmaker which accepted bets on the specific time of John Terry's first-half substitution at 100-1.

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

The relegated Black Cats were aware of the orchestrated plan, which was Terry's idea.
