Paddy Power apologizes over betting choice boo-boo

Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has issued an apology for “erroniously” including the name of a dead ex-footballer in the adverised odds on the possible replacement of former Birmingham City manager Harry Redknapp.

PaddyPower found itself in damage control after it found in yet another social-media firestorm for allowing players to bet on the former Aston Villa and England defender Ugo Ehiogu taking charge of Birmingham City, according to The Guardian.

It turns out that Ehiogu passed away last April 20 after succumbing to a cardiac arrest at Tottenham’s training ground, where he worked as a coach with their under-23 side.

Minutes after the betting list was released, football fans raised hell on the Irish bookmaker.
