England fan who covered home in St George's flags flags keeps them up despite threats

An England football fan who plastered his home in St George’s cross flags has kept them displayed despite threats and the teams humiliating draw.

The 42-year-old father covered his home in 23 red and white flags celebrating the start of the 2020 Euros and England’s campaign to bring the title home.

But despite England's humiliating 0-0 draw to neighbours Scotland on Friday night.

And after suffering online abuse and threats that his windows would be smashed in for decorating his home with the patriotic flag the father who didn’t want to be named has continued to display the flags.

The property in Phoenix Street, West Bromwich, has over 20 flags covering every inch of the house leaving just the windows and front door bare.

With all 23 of them still taking pride of place covering the red-bricked property and a larger flag flying high on the corner of the house despite the threats this morning.

England is next set to face the Czech Republic on Tuesday, June 22.
