On 10 July 2024, the England footballer Ollie Watkins scored a last-minute winner against the Netherlands to secure the Three Lions’ place in the Euro 2024 final. It was a balmy evening and joyful fans left pubs up and down the country elated and relieved that England had made it to the final for the second successive Euros.
Among them was 61-year-old Giles Malone. He was waiting for a taxi outside the Mall pub in Clifton, a leafy, affluent suburb of Bristol, when he spotted two men grappling with a suitcase.
