Next stop Gareth Southgate! England's World Cup efforts recognised by London Underground

Gareth Southgate has become something of a cult hero on the back of his World Cup efforts with England, with the Three Lions manager now boasting a London Underground station bearing his name.

Having guided his troops to the semi-finals of Russia 2018, the former Middlesbrough boss has been hailed as a national hero.

Little was expected of England when they departed for another outing on the grandest of sporting stages, but football fever soon swept across the country as progress was made to the last four.

‘It’s Coming Home’ became the tagline for a remarkable campaign and while extra-time heartache was suffered against Croatia, the Three Lions have returned home with their heads held high.
