STEWART MISSES OUT ON $35,000 PAYMENT
Scottish rocker ROD STEWART was delighted his beloved country’s soccer team lost a recent game - because he saved $35,000 (£17,500).
The singer promised to pay his seven children $5,000 (£2,500) each if Scotland qualified for 2008’s Europe-wide soccer tournament.
But the team were beaten 1-0 by Italy at the match on Saturday (17Nov07) meaning Stewart was able to hold on to his cash.
Daughter Kimberly says, "My dad said if Scotland won, he’d give us all £2,500. For my dad to say that is a huge thing. He does not put his hand in his pocket that often."
