England Away: our competition winner revealed
Over the past week we’ve been asking for your finest stories concerning England away from home, coupled with some inspirational stories from some of our football friends from around the world, and we’ve had some great responses – some of which we probably can’t publish! However, we have managed to pick out a winner for our terrific prize bundle, which includes a signed England Away shirt, a VIP trip to Wembley and a visit to an England training session to see the squad put through their paces.
For capturing an iconic England moment in a unique way, and simply for making us laugh in the space of two lines, here’s our prize winner from Ken Wilkinson. Congratulations to Ken on winning our prize!
“1986 World Cup, Argentina v England. I’m in Spain on holiday watching the game on TV in a bar. Maradona scores his hand of god goal, England crowd goes barmy, drinks and tables go all over the place but I’m in the bog trapped, the lock has broken! Spent two hours in there until the bar got cleaned up and my mates remembered about me.”
We’ve also got 5 runners-up, who win the new England Away shirt, congratulations also go to:
Martyn Murphy
Tom Cumberworth
James Taylor
Andy Moss
David Birnie
Thanks to everyone who entered our England Away competition. You’ll be able to see the new shirt in action for the first time next Friday when England take on Bulgaria, and we’ll have interviews with some of the squad’s star players next week as we build up to the big game.
