When a picture of his house was posted on social media, some users criticised the decorations saying the St George’s flag was associated with racism.

Martin, who lives in Thanington, Canterbury, said: “I’ve done this loads of times - every time the Euros or the World Cup is on all the flags go up. I love England and I went one step further this year and painted the driveway myself with the flag. The neighbours don’t seem to mind, and people are always stopping to take photos outside with all the flags.”

“I reckon we could go all the way. We have a good young side with some experience as well. So long as we make it through the group stages, I think we’ve got a great chance.”
