After Mr Hodgson’s appointment to the England job, West Bromwich Albion fans are set to give him the perfect send off with the final two games of the season.

Lifelong Albion fan and Mask-arade director Dean Walton said: “After providing Kevin Phillips masks at QPR, Tony Mowbray masks at Blackburn and Bomber Brown masks last season at Newcastle we were going to take a break this year. However, after recent events we have been inundated with requests for Roy Hodgson masks.”

“He has been tremendous for the Albion and we want to show our thanks and give him a special Baggies send off,” Mr Walton added.

Mask-arade are currently working around the clock to produce around a million Royal Family masks for The Queen’s forthcoming Jubilee but have promised to deliver all Roy Hodgson masks in time for the last game of season.
