And the father of three won KSh 12 million (£91,000) including the KSh 7.4 million (£55,000) he staked for Jurgen Klopp’s side to emerge champions of England.

Ward did not work for the money he used in playing the bet but he inherited it from his mum Rose who died in 2017 at the age of 82.

And he claimed his mum would not mind with what he had used the money for.

“She wouldn’t have minded what I did with the money — not at all. She liked a flutter! She liked the horses. But I’d give it all back to have my mum still around.” Tony said.

He staked the bet back in October, putting the lot on Liverpool back in at odds of 4/6.

He said: “Liverpool were always looking like they could win the title. I picked them after a long, long debate.”
