One lottery winner managed this. When he won about £160M in the

those who come from a country where "football" doesn't involve feet or
round balls) and set it up as a trust owned by the club's fans.
I do wish people would stop intimating that the US is the only place
where Association Football (the football we play in the UK) is known as soccer. When I was at secondary school (back in the 1960's) "soccer
practise" was a well know alternative to the term "football practise".
