Burger van man Neil Walker was ready to cheer Sven's men into the quarter-finals of the World Cup when they took on Ecuador on Sunday.
The fast-food seller has given his pride and joy a Three Lions makeover after his wife banned him from having any more England tattoos.
Mr Walker, 33, of Shirley, Southampton, said: "It was my idea to do the van as I am massive football fan. I saw this little red van in Portsmouth with an England flag painted on it so I decided to do mine bigger and better.
"The reaction to my van has been crazy. I have had other motorists beeping at me and children waving, its been fantastic."
Mr Walker, who runs a mobile catering van in Millbrook, has the St George's flag painted on each side of his van and three lions on each window on the back.
