LONDON, Feb 21 (REUTERS) The Sutton United goalkeeper filmed eating a pie while on the substitutes bench during his side's 2-0 FA Cup defeat by Arsenal quit the club in tears today after admitting a "costly error of judgment", Sutton's manager said.
Wayne Shaw resigned within hours of the Gambling Commission and the Football Association announcing investigations into his actions after it emerged that a betting company had offered odds against any Sutton player tucking into a pie during the televised game. Sutton manager Paul Doswell announced Shaw's fate on live television: "This decision was taken at board level," he said. "We felt we had to take very strong actions. The chairman spoke to him this afternoon and Wayne offered his resignation."
"I'm devastated, the chairman is devastated. I have spoken to Wayne and the guy is in tears, crying down the phone. It is a very sad situation."
