Karl Baxter thought he was onto a winner when he printed the shirts ahead of the World Cup quarter-finals, but his gamble didn't pay off, with Gareth Southgate's side being sent home after losing 2-1 to France.
A businessman has been left with 18,000 useless T-shirts which wrongly herald England as World Cup champions.
Sprawled across the back of the shirts are the slogans 'England, Cup Winners 2022, It's Finally Home' and 'The Day It Came Home'. "We had a load of blank football shirts that we bought a couple of years ago, which we had not done a great deal with, so I decided to take a gamble on the crest of the wave England were riding and get some shirts printed in anticipation of success," Mr Baxter, 46, told Sky News.
