'Brilliant' mural of Bellingham and Rogers appears

A mural of England stars Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers eating orange chips has appeared in Birmingham.

The artwork depicting the Black Country-born footballers tucking into the local delicacy, also called battered chips, has been put up on the side of the Classic Fryer chippy in Quinton.

It was created by Dudley artist Dion Kitson, who posted a video on his Instagram account on Friday, which showed him pasting it to the wall of the Hagley Road building.

"From the heart of the Black Country," he said on the post and in a subsequent one he described the artwork as "two star boys", adding that Classic Fryer were "great sports".

It came as the Three Lions prepare to take on the Norway in the quarter final of the World Cup, with the match due to kick off in Miami at 22:00 BST on Saturday.

Commenting on Kitson's Instagram page, people described the mural as "brilliant", with one saying: "Saw this yesterday and wondered who it was, great work."

Born in Stourbridge, Bellingham has been one of England's star players during the tournament, scoring two goals in 98 seconds as the team defeated Mexico in the round of 16.

He started off at Stourbridge Juniors as a child and went on to join Birmingham City's youth side before breaking into the first team.

The now 23-year-old then moved to German side Borussia Dortmund, where he played until he signed for Real Madrid in 2023.

Rogers, also 23, was born in Halesowen and attended Sandwell Academy, where he was part of the side that won the National Schools Cup in 2017.

He spent his youth career at West Bromwich Albion, making his professional debut for the first team in 2019.

Rogers signed for Manchester City later that year before loan spells at Lincoln City, Bournemouth and Blackpool.

He went to Middlesbrough in 2023 and spent seven months there before signing for Aston Villa, where he has since made 85 appearances and scored 21 goals.
