England manager whose World Cup waistcoat was a fashion sensation is setting trends again at Euro 2020
Football is a world of superstition: John Terry wore the same pair of shin pads for 10 seasons; Mesut Özil always puts his right boot on first. Gareth Southgate is no exception because throughout Euro 2020 the England manager has had a lucky tie.
Southgate has worn the same knitted polka dot tie at most matches since the middle of June. Notably, the only match he did not do so was England’s 0-0 draw against Scotland, the only time the team have failed to win in the tournament. Southgate wore the tie again for the semi-final against Denmark on Wednesday, and he was backed up by Ian Wright, the ITV pundit, who also wore a polka dot tie.
