EVERY day is a flag day at the moment for Anthony Baddams and his family thanks to their passion for the World Cup.

They have decorated their home in Derby Road, Southampton, with dozens of England flags.

Chelsea fan Anthony, 38, said: "I'm enjoying the World Cup and I really hope we win it. Everyone is saying Brazil will win but I'm not so sure I think they will have a harder time of it this year."

Anthony's wife Anita, 35, and four children Tanya, 20, Carl, 15, Danielle, 14 and Ryan, 12, are all as keen as their father to see England bring home the trophy.

Anthony's neighbours are delighted with his decorating skills.

"People have been coming up to me in the street shaking my hand and saying they're really pleased with what I've done," he said.

Meanwhile, committee members at Shirley Warren Social Club decided to give the club a lick of paint in the red and white colours of St George.

Vice president Chris Jewell, 47, said: "We needed to give the club a a facelift so we decided to go one better by painting a giant England flag on the outside walls.

"We have never done anything like this before but it is a community club and we are all behind the England team for the World Cup.

"The club was in a right mess but now it looks really good. People drive past and tell us what a good job we have done."
