On an action-packed opening weekend of the season, there was a Saturday to remember for one punter as 96th-minute winning goal turned £2 into £11k to land the unlikeliest of 17-folds.
The Ladbrokes customer combined 17 teams from across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the monster acca looked like it was going to be let down by one team.
Cheltenham has seen plenty of dramatic winners for punters down the years, but they're not usually at Whaddon Road.
With the Robins and Newport heading into the sixth and final minute of injury time at 2-2, Cardiff loanee Joel Colwill won it for the hosts to turn the punter's £2 into a mouth-watering £10,916.96.
It wasn't the only bit of drama either, with Wimbledon coming from 2-0 down to beat Colchester 4-2, and Dagenham Redbridge needing an 82nd-minute winner against Wealdstone.
- This Week's Acca - built by the Sporting Life football team on their weekly podcast - will appear here along with every selection that didn't quite make the cut at 12pm every Friday, so you can build as big or as little an accumulator as you like. We can't promise you a 5,500/1 winner, but we did at least manage a fair few around the 18/1 mark last season.
