Not necessarily the most you have won, but the most memorable.
Middlesbrough vs Steaua Bucharest - 2nd Leg - UEFA CUP
Boro lost the first leg 1-0... and where 2-0 on the night (3-0) aggregate. That was when I put a £5 on them to go on to get the four goals they needed to go through. Boro had also needed 4 goals in the previous UEFA cup game to go through, and they managed it. Three of us in the pub all thought it would make the second half a bit more interesting and Boro looked lively. By the time the fourth and final goal went in injury time half the pub was sitting around watching - supporting us more than caring about the game.
Odds were 18/1... kinda wish i put more than a fiver on... like one of my mates who after the fiver at the bookies, checked his phone account to see what he had left in there... think he put £25 on in total.
Ladbrokes double checked all our tickets in disbelief the next day
