Liverpool fan set for 40,000 loyalty bonus

LIVERPOOL FAN ANTICIPATES £40,000 LOYALTY PAYOUT One Liverpool fan and William Hill customer, David Bushell, never lost faith in his club's ability to win the Champions League and when, last December, they were being written off as 80/1 no-hopers, he gambled £500 on them with Hills, and now stands to collect £40,000 profit if they can pull off a win on Wednesday against AC Milan.'Mr Bushell is a long-standing fan, a businessman in his forties, who lives near Preston, and he has set off to Istanbul to watch the Final.' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe, 'He told me he has no intention of hedging his bet and says he has supported them for many years and has seen them win the tournament in the past.He was the only client of ours to risk a three figure sum on them at that stage.There has, though, been a hefty gamble on Liverpool since the semis and a win for them now would cost us a six figure sum more than a win for the Italians.'Hills currently make AC Milan 8/15 favourites to lift the trophy, with Liverpool offered at 11/8. In 90 minutes play Hills offer Evens AC Milan; 13/5 Liverpool; 15/8 draw - Liverpool are 9/1 to win on penalties. Schevchenko is 5/1 favourite to opne the scoring in 90 minutes with Hills who also offer 6/1 Crespo; 8/1 Baros; Kaka; Tomasson; 9/1 Cisse; 11/1 Garcia; 14/1 Gerrard; 14/1 Pirlo; 16/1 Kewell.
