England Fans Are Loving Harry Winks For The Same Brilliant Reason

After securing a World Cup spot in Russia for next summer following the Slovenia victory, Gareth Southgate rang the changes including handing a full-debut to Harry Winks, and England fans instantly took a liking to him for one brilliant reason.

The Spurs midfielder slotted in the middle of the park and impressed on his England bow, showing off his composure while displaying his range of passing.

His match stats perfectly underlines the game he had. From completing 98 passes - with a 96% accuracy - to 111 touches of the ball during England's World Cup qualifier against Lithuania.

But there was one aspect which has already made him an England fan favourite.

Black boots.
