Jesse Lingard surprises Thogden with England tickets

England’s man on the ground at the World Cup in Russia was in for a surprise when he received a call from none other than Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard.

Thogden has been blogging about his experiences at the tournament and has attended both of the England matches so far, but he and his dad had not managed to get tickets for England’s final group game against Belgium.
