It’s fair to say that Gareth Southgatehas become something of a national treasure. Cementing himself as a legendary England manager in the Euros this year, he’s a universally liked character who melted hearts across the country as he comforted the team’s young players with genuine compassion after their devastating defeat to Italy. A certified good egg and all round decent human being.
