There's A Northern Irishman At 10/1 For Next FIFA President

Hot on the tail of Sepp Blatter announcing that he will resign as president of FIFA come the odds for his successor.

Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, who was Blatter's only opponent in Friday's presidential election, is Paddy Power's joint favourite along with UEFA president Michel Platini.

After that come a number of football executives including an Northern Irishman - Jim Boyce. The 71-year-old from Belfast, a former president of the Irish Football Association, recently stepped down as FIFA vice president.

David Ginola, who is 50/1, has announced that he will bid to succeed Blatter. The election will take place sometime between December of this year and March of 2016.
