England superfan Andy Milne is selling his house to fund his World Cup trip across the USA this summer.<\/p>\n

The former teacher went viral during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with images of him in an England shirt holding a replicatrophy securing his cult hero status.<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old, who bears a resemblance to former Three Lions manager Steve McClaren, plans to attend his 10th<\/sup> World Cup this summer with England\u2019s group games taking place in Dallas, Boston and New York in June.<\/p>\n

Exorbitant ticket prices for the tournament have been widely criticised but Milne, perhaps rather optimistically, has already secured tickets for every game up to the final.<\/p>\n

To finance the tour, Milne says he has put his second home in Northwich, Cheshire on the market for \u00a3350,000.<\/p>\n

\u2018I definitely want to see the whole tournament,\u2019 he told The Mirror. \u2018I am going to the US on June 3 and will be there for seven weeks. So it will cost quite a lot of money.<\/p>\n

\u2018It [his second home] is going on the market because I\u2019m selling it to go to the World Cup. The last tournament in Qatar was a present to myself, I had been saving for years.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have had a second home for 27 years so it felt like the right time to cash in\u2019<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018I always try to do things cheaply if I can. I will couch surf where possible; I am lucky to have friends in Mexico, Dallas, and Vancouver.<\/p>\n

\u2018Travel costs are expensive; I bought international flights early because you can change them even if departure times change by 10 minutes.\u2019<\/p>\n

England begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia in Dallas on 17 June before a meeting with Ghana six days later in Boston.<\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side will hope to have qualification for the knockout stages wrapped up before their final group game against Panama in New Jersey.<\/p>\n
