The other person involved stood to lose his wife and Toyota Premio car.
While we all fancy a wager every now and then, a punter in Uganda upped the stakes considerably ahead of the clash between the Premier League rivals.
Sunsport in Africa reports that staunch Arsenal fan Henry Dhabasani put his two-bedroom house on the line, while his friend Rashid Yiga put his car and wife on the line in the belief that United would prevail. Bet, no pun intended, his other half was pleased to hear that.
“The two put their stake in writing, with local leaders and fans witnessing the deed,” the paper further reports,” the Ugandan paper Observer reports.
Dhabasani, who has three wives and five children reportedly fainted at the end of the game and is currently looking for a new abode. We have no idea if Yiga’s wife knows just how lucky she was that RVP won the game at Old Trafford.
