Harry Maguire petition: England fans lobby for inflatable unicorn bank note

A petition to have England star Harry Maguire pictured riding an inflatable unicorn on the back of the new £50 note has over 6,000 signatures.

The Leicester City centre-back and his fellow countrymen captured the hearts of the nation over the summer as their efforts saw the Three Lions reach a World Cup semi-final for the first time since 1990.

The togetherness of the team was well-documented, no more so than in a break between fixtures in which the England players raced against each other across a swimming pool on inflatable unicorns, and it is the image of Maguire doing so that has become the focus of Twitter user Jonny Sharples' new campaign.
