England manager Gareth Southgate stuns pupils with surprise appearance at Lawnswood School in Leeds

The Three Lions boss visited Lawnswood School for a mock press conference, enabling pupils from years 10 and 11 to act as journalists and ask him questions.

Visiting as part of Channel 4’s 4Schools initiative, the intention was to inspire the next generation of sport broadcasters. He fielded questions on a variety of topics, including his primary goal for the national team. During the mock press conference, he said: “Right now I have one goal - to become European champions.”
