Gareth Southgate lookalike Joseph Fiennes will come on as a substitute for the England men’s football manager in a new play about the beautiful game.
“Dear England” tells how Southgate missed a vital penalty against Germany in the Euro 96 semis, only to stage a “gentle revolution” in the game after becoming manager in 2016.
Writer James Graham said: “What Gareth Southgate has attempted in his quiet cultural reform of England football I find epic and deeply moving.”
