- An England fan, Andy Milne, is selling his second home to fund an extensive trip to the upcoming World Cup across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
- The 62-year-old retired teacher aims to raise £350,000 from the sale of his property in northern England to attend what will be his tenth World Cup following the national team.
