Goals Galore Extra Big Winner: £55,000 from a five-pound bet

Turkish barber Nurdan Alimanogley proved himself definitely a cut above, winning £55,000 at his local Betfred shop

He hit the jackpot-smashing odds of 11,000/1 on the Goals Galore Extra coupon when he took just four minutes to chose SEVEN matches, correctly predicting that both teams would score, and who would win.

His £5 accumulator placed at the Betfred shop in Simshill, Glasgow near his barber business looked like it was going to fail on the last leg when on Sunday Nice went behind to Strasbourg before battling back to win 2-1 - leaving a celebrating Nurdan gloriously in the money.

His other six games in England, Scotland, Germany and Italy had proved winners for the 45 -year-old father of one who is a supporter of Celtic in his adopted home country - and Galatasaray in his homeland, Turkey.

He went for Brighton to beat Bournemouth which they did 2-1 ... and it was the same scoreline for Ross County against Motherwell and St Mirren v Aberdeen.
He also had Celtic to win but Hearts to also score; Leverkusen to beat Heidenheim and both teams to score; and in Italy Atalanta to triumph at Parma.

Jubilant Nurdan (above) said: "I do follow football in different countries and chat about the game when I'm at work so I do have a lot of knowledge, particularly following the form of Turkish players ... but it only took me four minutes or so to make my selections at Betfred."

The Betfred shop regular added: "I couldn't sleep on Saturday wondering what would happen in my seventh game in France on Sunday. After paying off some of my mortgage from this big win I'll be organising a celebration meal in a Turkish restaurant, and then start planning a special holiday where there are plenty of horses which my daughter loves!"

Betfred boss Fred Done said: "I wish he had stuck to perms at his barbers! Seriously, I'm delighted this fella has proved you can win big from small stakes at Betfred."
