Ireland-based bookmaker Paddy Power today unveiled its latest amusing publicity stunt - a waxwork dummy of the much-missed former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, in a glass case marked 'IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS'.

Since Ferguson's departure, Manchester United have underwhelmed with a series of lacklustre performances leading to a series of defeats, including last night's 3-1 defeat against Chelsea. United, under the slightly-less-iron fist of David Moyes, are looking unsure and might even - gasp - not win at the foot-ball this year! No, really.
Paddy Power have a history of irreverent stunts, with their 2012 'Roy The Redeemer' statue at the cliffs of Dover, their sponsorship of an egg-and-spoon race in France and their giant vuvuzela truck just a few of their zany japes.Hopefully foot-to-ball fans the world over take this with the good humour intended, or Paddy Power might find themselves subject to a few jolly cross pub conversations!
