Ex-Gillingham boss Adrian Pennock has landed a windfall of \u00a383,333 after winning the postcode lottery – despite currently managing in mega-rich Brunei. <\/p>\n

Pennock was one of the lucky residents of ME7 3TG postcode in Shepherd\u2019s Gate, Hempstead to split the \u00a31million pot. Pennock's son was also among those residents who received a cheque for the eye-watering sum of money.<\/p>\n

The ex-EFL boss last job on these shores came in 2018 with then-National League side Barrow – who he parted ways with after narrowly avoiding relegation. And he was appointed by DPMM FC the following year, where he remains.<\/p>\n

Despite being based in Brunei, DPMM FC play in the Singapore Premier League – and, in his first season as their boss, Pennock led them to their second-ever title. <\/p>\n

He told The Sun: "It\u2019s been an absolutely incredible and unbelievable year, from that first call off a bloke with broken English, asking if I\u2019d be interested in managing this team in Brunei. I did think it was someone having a laugh.<\/p>\n

"But when it was clear it was genuine I went for a visit and thought I\u2019d give it a go. The expectation really was mid-table, but here we are now as champions."<\/p>\n

In his time in Asia, Pennock has become the darling of the Crown Prince of Brunei, Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Sultan\u2019s son – who also owns DPMM FC. Pinnock joked he had quite the culture shock when moving, adding: "I\u2019d not been here long when I went shopping.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn one side of the road was the usual stuff, Starbucks and that. On the other were about 50 monkeys and a huge dragon. There are saltwater crocodiles too, so there\u2019s no swimming in the sea and in the jungle you\u2019ve got snakes."<\/p>\n
