Excitement has also been building in the town all week, and ahead of the game fans were enjoying coffees and a pre match drink in cafes, pubs and restaurants around the town.

Fans of all ages were joining in the festivities, cheering and chanting as the team coach made its way down Sir Alf Ramsay Way.
