Sacked England manager Sam Allardyce faces new allegations after a hoard of England football merchandise and sports equipment was discovered stockpiled at his home in Bolton.
Greater Manchester police received a tip-off that led them to the disgraced former Blackburn manager's house after an enormous amount of official FA merchandise was spotted being sold at a nearby pound shop. The police had earlier investigated a reported theft at the England training facilities, where thieves had stolen everything, including the goals. There is an unconfirmed report that the dismantled goalposts were found in Allardyce's back garden.
Police have also confiscated a sackful of scotch eggs and sausage rolls believed to have been taken from the FA canteen. However, it is understood that Allardyce has made "considerable inroads" into finishing them off and it is unsure exactly how much food has been left untouched.
More details to follow.
