The 47-year-old football manager has been recognised at the tube stop in Enfield, north London, for his part in leading the Harry Kane-captained team to fourth place, the country's best World Cup performance since 1990.

Fans have been encouraged to stop off at the station on the Piccadilly Line to take selfies with the sign and hashtag them #SouthgateSelfie.

Transport for London TfL wrote on Twitter: ''Next stop - Gareth Southgate! To celebrate the achievements of the @england men's football team this summer, TfL & @VisaUK have temporarily renamed Southgate station on the @piccadillyline. Why not come down and post a #SouthgateSelfie [sic]''

England lost out to 2- 1 to Croatia in the semi-final, and placed fourth place after they were defeated by Belgium on Saturday (14.07.18).
