'He's a Crawley lad, of course football's coming home' - Town gets behind its favourite son
The England manager is hoping to take the national side to World Cup glory in Russia - and ahead of the quarter-final against Sweden tomorrow (Saturday), the town have taken to our Facebook page to wish him luck.
Anne Truett said: "Good Luck from all at Furngate Youth FC.... Bring it home! :)", while Mary Connor said: "We're all rooting for you Gareth.... Crawley boy is going to bring it home!!!! Fingers crossed xx"

Kelly Hearn gave us the only reason we needed on why England will win the World Cup. She posted: "He’s a Crawley lad, of course football's coming home."
Petra Flipper Thaddens simply said: "ITS COMING HOME!!!!" and Dave Taylor said: "Good luck and bring it home."
@Leggy_Lynne tweeted: "So disappointed to see that Crawley has no banners around the town to wish our boy @GarethSouthgate good luck in the World Cup. Have some civic pride and celebrate the achievements of a Son of Crawley."
