A lucky football fan who won a £20,000 drunken bet on Leicester City's Premier League glory has joked about turning professional after winning hundreds of pounds which paid for his Christmas shopping.
Leigh Herbert, of Enderby in Leicestershire, placed a £5 stake on his team winning at odds of 5000/1 in August last year, and after the Foxes stormed to a much-celebrated victory in May he bagged £20,600.
He cashed out £2 of his bet just over a month before his team's triumph, taking home £5,600, because it 'all got a bit much' - but he went on to win a further £15,000.
