The mood was buoyant and expectant at the Billy Wright pub which is named after the former Wolves and England captain – a statue of the great man is positioned outside the Molineux, just a goal kick away.

Talyah Fearon who has worked at the Billy Wright for over a year said the European Championships had seen a 'coming together' of staff and customers art the pub with a vibrant atmosphere created for all the England games.

Busy but excited: Talyah Fearon

She said: "We are always busy for the Wolves games and are looking forward to the new season but first of all the final on Sunday when we will be welcoming everyone with a buffet, balloons and party tunes – the staff will be wearing England t-shirts and it will be a real party atmosphere.

"I am hoping England are going to win and given the way they have played so far particularly in the last two games I think they will do it."
