Under Southgate it’s been the best time being an England fan. He’s given us so many great memories. Some will always point to the lack of a trophy win but that paints a misleading picture. He restored pride and joy back to the England mens team and I’ll be forever grateful https://t.co/rlqyjmo2PW

suddenly very sad. it’s right — atrophy set in this tournament and change is needed. but he’s a good, honest, decent man, all criminally underappreciated facets of his character that have directly contributed to england’s footballing renaissance, and he deserved the fairytale. https://t.co/oUKIL3arao

Southgate steps down with typical class.
