Football might not be coming home, but Dave the cat definitely is.
After taking a shine to a stray cat that made itself at home at England's World Cup base in Qatar, Manchester City duo John Stones and Kyle Walker have made sure that Dave the cat is going to travel back to England and be rehomed.
The cat - nicknamed Dave by Stones and Walker - became a regular fixture on the official England Instagram page during the tournament when he started joining the players for meals and down time. He soon became the team's unofficial mascot, and the City pair even promised to adopt Dave if England won the tournament.
