INSIDE SPORT: English football and fans fair-play ranking excellence, the beer brand hoping to sponsor European football with mammoth £176m-a-year deal - and how Everton passed their rugby league audition

English football fans are officially the best behaved in Britain and Ireland - and England is the home of fair play, according to UEFA.

European football's governing body has published its fair play rankings for 2024-25 and some may be surprised at the results.

Countries are ranked on the overall fair play of themselves and their clubs in UEFA competitions, improvement in score from one season to the next and behaviour of supporters.

In the fan behaviour section England finished sixth, Northern Ireland 12th, Wales 14th, Scotland 19th and the Republic of Ireland 23rd.
