England fans cannot get enough of their waistcoat-wearing manager after their win over Colombia at the World Cup

Gareth Southgate has taken England to their first World Cup quarter-final in 12 years and it seems he can do no wrong. Judging by the online reaction, there is absolutely nothing Southgate cannot do.

He would never be disrespectful to football or its pundits

David Bedwell (@DavidBedwell) #GarethSouthgateWould probably politely ask football if it wanted to come home first, then contact its parents and ask if it was okay.

Wrighty (@neilwrightlegal) #GarethSouthgateWould listen earnestly to all that Glenn Hoddle has to say

There would be no disruptions from kitchen appliances

Jellybeansean (@Whathaveyadone) #GarethSouthgateWould stop the microwave at 0:01 so that it doesn't go off and wake everyone up whilst they are sleeping

There would be no fights over selection boxes at Christmas

LouiseMankau (@LMankau) #GarethSouthgateWould never put empty wrappers back in the Quality Street tin.

He would have got on very well with JRR Tolkien

Tolkien Society (@TolkienSociety) #GarethSouthgateWould take the Ring to Mordor... and throw it into the fire once he got there.

He would prove very polite on public transport

Ronan (@_RonanKelly) #GarethSouthgateWould respectfully put in earphones to watch something on Netflix on public transport, but throw on the subtitles just in case anyone wanted to watch over his shoulder

He would respect fast food

Jack Mull (@J4CKMULL) #GarethSouthgateWould never drive past McDonald's and tell you that you've got food at home

...and be clued up on restaurant etiquette

Richard Peach (@RichardCPeach) #GarethSouthgateWould Pay an equal share of the restaurant bill, even though he didn't have a starter and only drank the tap water.

He’s your man if you’re struggling with furniture

Helen Chamberlain (@HellsBellsy) #GarethSouthgateWould Know exactly at what angle to PIVOT when helping you upstairs with your new sofa.

He would be considerate at gigs

Callum (@cal_thornhill) #GarethSouthgateWould stand in front of you at a gig, realise & immediately apologise and move a yard to the left

He would have his own interpretation of neighbourhood watch

IronLion (@scott161) #GarethSouthgateWould know what day to put the bins out after a Bank Holiday. And would let all his neighbours know just in case.

Elaine Rush (@chubachups) #GarethSouthgateWould Knock and tell you if he was having a bbq next door and you had your washing out.

Georgia Sanders 💖💜💙🏳️‍🌈 (@UpAndGeorgia) #GarethSouthgateWould bring your parcel straight round as soon as you got home instead of waiting for you to come get it.

Jane James (@TheJaneJames) #GarethSouthgateWould Run out and get your washing off the line if it started raining and you hadn't noticed.

He would be the perfect office manager

Dating Dad (@aDatingDad) #GarethSouthgateWould throw away a pen which didn't work rather than just putting it back in the communal mug for someone else to pick up and deal with later.

He knows a thing or two about checkout etiquette

Tom Logan (@tominatorlogan) #GarethSouthgateWould let you go in front at the checkout with a full trolley when he’s only got a pint of milk

He would be a librarian’s dream

Sharron_P (@Shazzapre) #GarethSouthgateWould use a bookmark, instead of turning the edge of the pages down, if he borrowed a book from you.

He would make sure your wedding day goes smoothly

Sharon Edwards (@Sequins71) #GarethSouthgateWould reschedule Saturday's match for all those stressed "brides to be" out there who booked their weddings 18 months ago for 2pm on Saturday 🙄

He’s not a fan of spoilers

Мiск Соорег (@themickcooper) #GarethSouthgateWould stop a conversation about Game of Thrones half way through and say “Has everyone seen it? Dave? No? Right then... let’s talk about something else so we don’t spoil it for Dave”

He would keep ITV2 ratings steady rather than spectacular

Dave Goodings (@DavidGoodings) #GarethSouthgateWould have stayed loyal in Casa Amor!

He would be perfect for No10

Michael Morrow (@MichaelMorrow93) #GarethSouthgateWould never run through a field of wheat

He would live and learn
