Paddy Power's David Moyes stunt backfires as Grim Reaper is ejected from Goodison



A publicity stunt by a bookmaker backfired at Goodison Park when a fan dressed as the Grim Reaper sitting close to Manchester United manager David Moyes was ejected.

The spectator, who was wearing a Paddy Power shirt, was kicked out midway through the first half of Everton's Premier League clash with United.

The game was Moyes' first at Goodison Park since leaving Everton after 11 years at the helm to join Manchester United in the summer.

Moyes received a frosty reception at the ground he used to call home by Everton supporters.

Everton had the last laugh, though, as they cruised to a 2-0 victory that kept their hopes of Champions League football alive.



A Paddy Power spokesman said: ' It’s gone from bad to worse for David Moyes this season, which means the Grim Reaper could be looking to call time on his Old Trafford career.'
