World Cup Winner

CRN World Cup Fantasy Football winner tells all

Jason Newell (left) was the envy of the channel when he won the CRN FIFA World Cup final tickets last month after coming top in our World Cup Fantasy Football League competition.

Newell, who is marketing manager at VAR Concorde Informatics, based in North Yorkshire, took Concorde’s purchasing manager Steven Rowe with him to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin to watch Italy and France slog it out to decide who would become World Champions.

The pair flew to Germany from Liverpool on the day of the final even managed to bump into people they knew at the match.

Newell won a double victory because at the start of the match, they decided to pick a team each to support. Newell picked Italy, and managed to make a host of new Italian friends during the game as well.
