Sam Allardyce fully lived up to his 'Big Sam' persona during his short-lived reign as England manager – even re-naming the FA's internet connection in his mould.

The disgraced ex-England boss was actively putting his stamp on England's team-base at St George's Park – the slogan 'the journey begins here' evident throughout the state-of-the-art facility in Burton.

Indeed, Sportsmail can reveal Allardyce even took to re-naming the WIFI connection in his office at St George's Park as he sought to put his own stamp on the England camp – calling the internet source 'BIG SAM'S OFFICE'.

However, following his departure last week after he was implicated in the Daily Telegraph football corruption investigation – 'BIG SAM'S OFFICE' is no longer detectable at St George's Park.

Neither are the branding slogans that Allardyce was at pains to add to St George's as the remnants of his reign slowly fade into the distance.

The former Sunderland boss had got off to a winning start in charge of the national team when Adam Lallana struck a last minute winner in the World Cup qualifier against Slovakia.

His interim replacement, Gareth Southgate, takes charge of his first match against Malta on Saturday, before an away clash with Slovenia next Tuesday.

The former Under 21 boss will also be in charge for the Wembley clash against Scotland next month, as well as the friendly with Spain.
