Working in the gambling industry, the two mantras I've heard most often are "do what bet365 do" and "do what Paddy Power do". For different reasons, those two are light years ahead of most of the competition.

For different reasons, those two are light years ahead of most of the competition.Paddy power were one of the first companies to fully embrace social media and let it define them. They have created a soccer am style company persona and it's proven to be very successful.To add a bit of relevance back to Villa Unibet are another one that has done a great job with creating a personality for themselves, at least in the scandinavian market where they sell themselves as studious analysts of the game which is a very effective approach in Norway at least (and I suspect in Sweden Denmark where the culture around football is fairly similar). They're like the Klopp of betting companies.
I suppose one could force oneself to be outraged at such a tasteless publicity stunt regrettable error but I've rather hie me online to put £25 on Ozzie Osbourne for whom they are offering fair odds.
Nice piece by Gareth Southgate on Ugo herehttps://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/dec/17/ugo-ehiogu-remembered-by-gareth-southgate

Good lesson to end on / learn from too. It perhaps just lacked an image of the pair of them, shoulder to shoulder on duty in claret and blue. I'm sure someone here will oblige though.

Ugo came to my mind today, and on Google I came across that article. A very nice tribute from Southgate.I still can't believe Ugo passed away at such a young age. I loved him.
