Arsenal fan in Uganda left homeless after losing bet on Manchester United game

Arsene Wenger may have been left
seething by Arsenal’s loss at Old Trafford
on Sunday, but the result was a whole lot
more damaging for one reckless
supporter in Uganda.
Gunners mad Henry Dhabasani has been
left homeless after betting his house on
the result of the game with Manchester
United fan Rashid Yiga.
In return Yiga staked his new car, and his
wife, that David Moyes’ men would
triumph.
However, it was Dhabasani who came out
on the short end of the result after Robin
Van Persie’s first-half header settled the
match in United’s favour.
So serious was the bet that the two men
put down the stake in writing with local
leaders and fellow fans drafted in as
witnesses.
The Ugandan Observer reports that
Dhabasani, who has three wives and five
kids, fainted at the end of the match as
the result of his folly sank in.
He was evicted on Monday after several
United fans stormed his home and threw
him and his family out.
