Grinning England fan, who became known as Steve McClaren lookalike at the World Cup in Qatar, was spotted at the Three Lions' opening match of the European Championship

A grinning England fan who caused a stir at the World Cup in Qatar as a Steve McClaren lookalike was spotted again at the opening match of the European Championship.

Andy Milne, 60, became a cult figure among Three Lions fans when he was seen holding a replica of the trophy during England's 3-0 win over Senegal at the 2022 World Cup.

Tonight, as Gareth Southgate's England side face Serbia in their first game of the tournament, with tens of thousands of fans filling the stadium in Germany and millions more watching from home, he was caught on camera again!

The retired teacher was seen smiling and screaming into the camera, causing viewers to freak out on social media.

Another said: “Of course the guy who looks like Steve McLaren is at the front of the line. Only shows up at these games.”

A third added: “Cameramen at England games don't think the challenge of resembling a Steve McLaren lookalike is impossible.”

Another said he must be “Steve McLaren’s long lost brother.”

Steve McClaren was coach of the England national team from 2006 to 2007 and played 18 games in 16 months.

Chants of “God Save the King” could be heard in the stadium as Jude Bellingham, the figurehead of the English team, gave England a brilliant start to the 2024 European Championship season with a powerful header into the net.

According to reports, England players can look forward to a whopping £14 million if they end their 58-year injury layoff and win the European Championship this summer.

Three years ago, England came close to winning their first European Championship, losing to Italy on penalties at Wembley. A win in Germany would be only the second major trophy in the country's history.

But as if the motivation to write their name in the history books wasn't enough, according to The Sun, three Lions players could receive a share of a £14 million bonus if they lift the Henri Delaunay on July 14.

They report that the players have negotiated a share of the £24 million prize money that the FA will receive for victory. Captain Harry Kane and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham will reportedly share a £9.6 million prize pot.

According to the report, Southgate will be the biggest financial beneficiary of the triumph, with a bonus of £4 million being awarded to him, while his assistant Steve Holland has also been promised an undisclosed sum.

That leaves around £14 million for the remaining 24 players in Southgate's squad, a record figure that surpasses the £13 million bonus for the 2022 World Cup.
