One of the former teachers of England star Eberechi Eze has said he is the 'perfect role model' who often goes back to school to encourage pupils to follow their dreams.
The Crystal Palace winger has played a key role in the Three Lions' Euros campaign so far and was part of a triple substitution that helped England equalise with just 10 minutes to go in the quarter-final against Switzerland.
He was also involved in the build-up to Jude Bellingham's bicycle kick goal in the round of 16 against Slovakia.
Now one of his former teachers at The John Roan School in Greenwich, south east London, has revealed that Eze remains in close contact with the staff and pupils there despite his footballing success.
