A larger-than-life mural of England’s favourite football heroes, Jordan Pickford, Luke Shaw and Raheem Sterling has appeared in London

The artwork of three of England’s Euros stars features more than 55 colours and took a whopping 73 hours and 45 minutes to complete.

Unveiled near Spurs’ Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, to celebrate the new Premier League season, the players topped a poll of 2,000 football fans to be named their favourite players from England’s EURO 2020 exploits.

Raheem Sterling took the top spot, followed by Luke Shaw and Jordan Pickford.

Manchester City’s new star, Jack Grealish, came in fourth, with England’s hardy central midfield duo, West Ham’s Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips of Leeds United, also making the top 10.

Football at home

The research from Sky Q also found that watching a game on TV at home is more popular than watching at the pub.

And more than two thirds believe the standard of the game at the top level is the best it has ever been.

Nearly half (45 per cent) of British football fans love the game so much, they ‘don’t know what they would do’ without it.

And a fifth of fans can’t get enough of it, watching more than 10 games a month.

Although there is a loyal cohort of fans (18 per cent) who will only tune in to watch their beloved team play.

The research and mural were commissioned by Sky Q to launch its coverage of the Premier League in Ultra HDR for the first time.
