Football fans at one Chesterfield pub embodied the mood of the nation on Sunday night as Jude Bellingham’s spectacular last-minute equaliser saved England from an early exit at Euro 2024.
After a frustrating 90 minutes for everyone on the pitch, in the stands and watching back home, many glum conversations had already turned towards the end of Gareth Southgate’s reign as manager, the perennial problems of England at major tournaments and the echoes of previous embarrassing defeats. At the Barrel Inn, on Chatsworth Road, attention had started to wander from the television screens.
But for Real Madrid’s Bellingham – the man who says he ‘writes his own scripts’ – it was the moment to take his place in the showreel of moments which fans remember forever. It was the stuff that every one who has ever played the game dreams of. The dream that every fan had once upon a time. With seconds of injury time left on the clock, Bellingham took flight and hit a perfect overhead kick to send the game into extra time and an eventual victory.
