The scene was set… 1-0 down to Wales in a must-win game, and one Jamie Vardy is sitting on the bench.
It was fate, Wales needed to get banged, and there was only one man England fans trusted to do it.
On comes Jamie Vardy, and with his third touch of the game, the Premier League winner levelled for England, after a sublime assist from English-born Welshman Ashley Williams.
This was the scene at the fan park:

Sadly, this guy didn’t catch any of the action.
