Roy Hodgson's men head to Brazil looking to end their 48-year curse and Pringles have decided to introduce the ritual for fans across the country

Superstitious England fans can bring luck to Roy Hodgson's men at the World Cup...by rubbing a giant football boot.

Ahead of the tournament in Brazil, Pringles surveyed hundreds of supporters to find out about their matchday rituals.

On the list were sitting in the same seat, drinking from the same pint glass and hiding behind the sofa to increase their side's chances of winning.

And in response, the potato snack company have created the huge boot - made out of a remarkable 1,500 Pringles cans.

The boot, which will go on a whistle-stop tour across the country before the Three Lions embark on Brazil, has been made by a team of designers, sculptors and engineers and weighs as much as 490kgs.

Not only that, it would fit 960 normal pairs of football boots and is equivalent to a shoe size of 700!

Tour: The Pringles boot has made its way across London

Gavin Bower of Pringles said: "The idea of creating the ultimate supersized talisman was to bring our players luck and influence their performance this summer.

"The lucky boot will tour England to get supporters match ready and send positivity and luck to the players in a bid for them to bring home the World Cup."

The tour began earlier today after a blessing by the Rev. Mark Townsend outside Wembley Stadium, before heading to Birmingham on Saturday morning and Liverpool in the afternoon.

On Sunday, the boot will be on show in Manchester and at the city's National Football Museum the following day.

It remains to be seen if Roy and the boys get lucky this summer but after 48 years of heartache and penalty shootout defeats, it's worth a try!
