United Kingdom's betting office "Paddy Power" agreed to pay out winnings to three fans who placed bets hoping that John Terry will be substituted in the match against "Sunderland" between the 26:00 and 26:59 minute mark.
The last season's "Premier" league match for the legendary defender was actually his final one among the "aristocrats" where he spent a total of 17 years.
Throughout this time, the Englishman wore socks marked specifically with the number 26, so his teammates honored him by displaying exactly that time on the scoreboard.
Terry himself revealed after the match that he planned to leave the field in the middle of the first half, and now the players can be happy. One of them earned 2500 pounds in his account, another made 1000, while the third winner is unknown.
The coefficient offered for this outcome was 100, so the fans bet only 25 and 10 pounds respectively.
It is worth mentioning that these bets were not entirely random, as "Chelsea" had already bid farewell to Didier Drogba in a similar manner for the future.
The sniper left the field in his last match two years ago before halftime as well.
One of the lucky ones even revealed that he opened an account at "Paddy Power" just because of the bet on John Terry's substitution time.
