A striking 10ft-high mural of Sam Allardyce, the former England men’s football manager, enjoying a large bag of chips has appeared in his hometown of Dudley, sparking local intrigue.
The artwork, believed to have been pasted onto a wall in Union Street, near a fast food shop, on Wednesday, depicts the 70-year-old in his trademark touchline suit and tie. It shows him lifting a partially battered orange chip – a local speciality – to his mouth.
