A businessman in the UK is countrin his losses after printing 18,000 T-shirts which had “England World Champions” printed on them.
According to Fox reports fan Karl Baxter was more than convinced England was going to win the World Cup, but as usual they got stuck in the quarter-final.
Sprawled across the back of the shirts are the slogans ‘England, Cup Winners 2022, It’s Finally Home’ and ‘The Day It Came Home’.
“We had a load of blank football shirts that we bought a couple of years ago, which we had not done a great deal with, so I decided to take a gamble on the crest of the wave England were riding and get some shirts printed in anticipation of success,” Mr Baxter, 46, told Sky News.
“Well over and above the shirts we have, as an England fan I am absolutely gutted we went out in the way we did,” the managing director of Poole-based Wholesale Clearance UK said.
