Winning against Tottenham in the FA Cup (2000)

At the time, Tranmere were competing in the First Division (the second tier of English football), while Tottenham were a Premier League side, making them the clear favourites. The game was played on 8 January 2000 at Prenton Park, Tranmere's home ground, which has a capacity of around 16,500.

The match started with Tottenham pressing hard, but Rovers set up their defence well. In the 34th minute, Tranmere midfielder Alan Mahon opened the scoring with a long-range strike. In the second half, Tottenham increased their pressure, but Rovers goalkeeper Joe Murphy was on top form. In the 61st minute, Wayne Allison doubled the home team's advantage with a counterattack goal. In the final minutes, Tottenham managed to score one goal through Chris Armstrong, but Tranmere held on to win the match 2-1.

The odds on their victory were as high as 7.00, as few people believed in their success against an elite English football club. One of the fans, whose story was widely reported in the local media, had bet £50 on Rovers' triumph and received £350 in net profit.

Triumph over Everton in the FA Cup (2001)

Another sensation came in 2001 when Tranmere Rovers faced Everton in the fourth round of the FA Cup. The match took place on 27 January 2001 at Prenton Park. Everton, like Tottenham a year earlier, were a Premier League representative, while Tranmere remained in the First Division, making them clear underdogs.

The game began with an unexpected Tranmere goal in the 7th minute, as Jason Kumas converted a free kick past goalkeeper Paul Gerrard. Everton responded with a goal from Duncan Ferguson, but in the second half, the Rovers took the lead. In the 62nd minute, Steve Yates scored the second goal, and in the 78th minute, Clint Hill sealed the victory with a precise strike.

The odds for Tranmere's victory in this match ranged from 8.00 to 10.00. One of the fans, whose story made headlines, placed a bet of 100 pounds on his team's victory and received approximately 900 pounds.

Success against Blackpool in League 1 (2020)

In March 2020, Tranmere Rovers gave their fans another reason to celebrate by defeating Blackpool 2-1 in a League 1 away match on 10 March 2020 at Bloomfield Road. Tranmere were struggling for survival in the third division at the time, and their chances of winning were not high, with odds of around 4.50.

Blackpool opened the scoring in the 37th minute with a goal by Gary Madigan, but Tranmere did not give up. In the 45th minute, Morgan Ferrier equalized the score, and in the 84th minute, James Vaughn scored the winning goal after a goalkeeper error.

It was reported that one of the locals had bet £200 on the victory and received around £900. This story became popular in Berkhamsted, where Rovers fans celebrated not only the team's success but also their financial fortune.

Win over Shrewsbury Town (2020)

Another notable match took place on February 25, 2020, when Tranmere Rovers defeated Shrewsbury Town 3-2 in League 1. The game was played on the road at the New Meadow Stadium. Tranmere were again considered the underdogs as they were at the bottom of the table and the odds on their victory were as high as 5.00.

The match started with a quick goal from Shrewsbury in the 12th minute, but Tranmere responded with a double from Kane Wilson in the first half (23rd and 41st minutes). Shrewsbury equalised in the second half, but in the 89th minute Alex Woodie doubled the lead with a decisive goal.

According to local sources, one of the fans bet 150 pounds on Tranmere's victory and received around 750 pounds.
