ENGLAND super-fan and Steve McClaren lookalike Andy Milne has revealed his incredible journey supporting the Three Lions throughout the years.
The supporter has become a household face after being spotted celebrating wildly at several tournaments.
Milne’s cheery demeanour and passion for the beautiful game has endeared him to the nation.

“I’ve seen no trouble, I’ve had a fantastic time, here in Frankfurt it’s glorious and the atmosphere in the fan park is unbelievable.”
Fans were thrilled with Milne getting his share of the limelight.
One said: “Make this man Prime Minister.”
Another declared: “Seems like such a nice fella.”
One noted: “Good on you.”
Another added: “English icon he is.”
Milne also revealed his thoughts on the potential England team against Denmark tonight.
Reports claim Gareth Southgate will stick with the same XI that unconvincingly beat Serbia 1-0.
And Milne agrees with the decision to remain unchanged — although he hopes to see more from captain Harry Kane.
He added: “I don’t think you can change the England team after one game.

“Get Kane up front and let’s see how it goes. Hopefully we can win and rest players for the final game. We could even qualify as group winners.”
