The fun-loving' Irish Bookie pledged to refund losing bets on the final if player of the year and Champions League top goal scorer Cristiano Ronaldo found the back of the net anytime over the 90 minutes.

Paddy Power himself said: "Well done Ronaldo, another new record set this year; the maker of the biggest ever Money-Back refund! The only thing I'll be making around here for the foreseeable future is the tea!". Paddy Power currently has the "Wonder Boy" priced at 9-1 to be Top Goalscorer in their Euro 2008 Betting.
