While many England fans battle for space in crowded pubs tonight, Jamie Pearce will be watching his team’s Euro 2012 clash against Sweden in the comfort of his own shed.

The super fan from Shawbury has transformed his humble garden shed into a mini pub – called ‘The Three Lions’.

Alongside nine other mates, Mr Pearce will be watching the game live on his shed’s two TV screens.

“Its just a bit of fun,” he said. “We watch all the games in the shed, it’s better than sitting in the front room with the kids.”

The 33-year-old built his impressive pub shed in 2010 ahead of England’s World Cup campaign in South Africa. He spent £3,000 fitting out the 12ft by 8ft shed with optics, a fruit machine and a dartboard – but remains unlicensed.

“My mates all bring their own cans along,” he said. The father-of-two has even entered his pub into a national shed of the year competition and is urging people to vote for his pride and joy.

In the meantime he remains hopeful about England’s chances in the Euro 2012 tournament.

Mr Pearce said: “I’m enjoying it. We played very well against France. I think we’ll get through the group stage but it might be tricky playing Spain or Italy.

“In the meantime what could be more patriotic than watching the game in these surroundings?”
