Archie Macpherson, 89, admitted that England have been so jammy in their Euros matches that they could "bring football home".
Asked if he will be supporting England when the final kicks off in Berlin tomorrow, he said: "I admire the English players and I have a hunch they're going to win this.
"Although my own tendency is towards Spain because they've played the best football in the tournament, I have a sneaking feeling England might do it.
"I suspect I might be like my idol Denis Law. On the day England won the World Cup, he was on the golf course not paying any attention.
"I'll be up in Crail and I'm a member of the golf course so that's a distinct possibility." England manager Gareth Southgate brought on a late substitute in Ollie Watkins who scored a 90th minute winner against Netherlands in Wednesday's semi-final.
