England fans are celebrating football’s imminent return home – but some of their antics since the win over Sweden have rightfully drawn criticism.

Overexcited supporters were seen climbing on top of an ambulance near London Bridge as they celebrated reaching the World Cup semi final.

But as many England fans rest sore heads today following the wild celebrations, others are keen to make amends.

Millwall Supporters’ Club has started a fundraiser to repair the wrecked vehicle, which had to be taken off the road, the London Ambulance Service said.


Their JustGiving page aims to raise £5,000 to cover the cost of repairs.

If an insurance company coughs up, the money raised by the page will instead be donated to the ambulance service.



The page reads: ‘At the Millwall Supporters’ Club we think it is very important to help our local community, so we want to help to raise funds to help with the repair of an emergency response vehicle that was damaged after the England v Sweden game in the World Cup 2018 quarter final.

‘We are very grateful for any donations and support you can offer.

‘If the insurance company pays for the repairs, all monies raised will be donated to the local ambulance service whose vehicle has sustained this damage.’

Dozens of supporters gathered around the ambulance following Saturday’s game and egged people to climb aboard.

A woman was pictured flashing her bra while standing on its roof, while a man dressed as Gareth Southgate was one of a number of others to clamber on top.

It left the vehicle with a dented bonnet and smashed windscreen.

Taking to Twitter, the London Ambulance Service wrote: ‘We’re delighted with the result, but this has put a big dampener on the celebrations for us.

‘While our officer attended a call nearby, this car was damaged in Borough High Street during the celebrations after the game.

‘It’s now off the road to be repaired.’
