Penistone Church Football Club have warned local residents to get ready for the din on Sunday if England’s Euro 2020 adventure ends in glory.

Barnsley-born John Stones started out as a seven-year-old at Penistone Church and there will not be a spare seat in the clubhouse, nor the marquee, when the Three Lions take on Italy at Wembley.

Club secretary David Hampshire, who played alongside Stones’ dad Peter for their local club, told the PA news agency: “The residents behind us better get ready if we win because the party will go long into the night.

England stand on the brink of winning a major tournament for the first time in 55 years and as excitement reaches fever pitch a whole nation expects.

“I was fortunate enough to see the 1966 World Cup final as a nine-year-old,” Hampshire added. “So to see an England team win a major tournament again would be brilliant.

“And to see a lad who started with Penistone Church Football Club win would be extraordinary. We wish John all the very best.”
