A Wycombe Wanderers fan has said he has had ‘the time of his life’ after spending the last month at the recent European Championships.

Alex, who is a Chairboys regular, went and watched 14 games at this summer's tournament which included all of England’s fixtures as Gareth Southgate's men reached the final for second time in consecutive editions.

However, it was heartbreak once more for the Three Lions as they narrowly lost 2-1 to Spain, who clinched their fourth title in Berlin on Sunday night.

The result also means England have become the first country to lose two consecutive European Championship finals. 

But this didn’t dampen the spirits of Wanderers supporter Alex, who travelled up and down Germany to watch numerous matches.

He told the Sun Sport: “I flew out from Manchester on June 12 to Dublin to watch the Killers which was unreal.

“Then flew out to Amsterdam on June 14 and had a night there, before I got a train down ahead of England vs Serbia for our opening game and I’ve been out here ever since.

“I got tickets for all the games – some were resale and I’ve been mugging myself off with the price!

“But to be honest, you’re here once so you need to enjoy it.”

He wouldn’t specify how much he had spent during his venture across Europe, but he did elude that he had ‘mugged himself off’ when he came to some of the prices he spent on matchday admission.

When asked by the Sun, he said: “My mum might see this, and I think I might be in a lot of trouble.

“But I thought I’d never spend £500 to go and watch Turkey vs Georgia so that’s a rough estimate.”

When the reporter suggested that collectively, it would have cost the Wycombe fan roughly £8,000 for his adventure in Germany, he jokingly referenced a Jose Mourinho line from a infamous 2014 interview by stating: “I prefer not to speak.

“If I speak, I get in a lot of trouble and I don’t want to be in a lot of trouble!"

"I have had the time of my life."

The next major tournament England will hope to be part of is the 2026 World Cup, which will be the first to be held in three separate countries. 

Canada, Mexico and the United States will host the biggest footballing competition in the world.
