In a scene that could be part of an Adam Sandler movie, Stuart Tinner bagged himself £250,000 after successfully hitting the crossbar from the half-way line on Tuesday night during the interval of the Saracens vs Springboks Rugby match at Wembley stadium.
Three members of the crowd were picked after applying via SMS to make the kick, Stuart stepped up first after removing his shoes and smashed the ball straight onto the crossbar. As soon as the ball struck the bar, Wembley erupted and the Amateur Rugby player was a quarter of a million pounds better off. Stuart told reporters that it’s the second best thing that’s ever happened to him, the first being when he lost his virginity. All I can say is, that must have been one hell of a cherry pop!
