ENGLAND'S travelling fans could hold the key to Euros glory, according to semi-final hero Ollie Watkins.
Three Lions supporters were outnumbered by their Dutch counterparts in Dortmund on Wednesday- but Watkins says their noise helped spur him on to strike a last-minute winner.
Now, ahead of England's first ever overseas final in Berlin tomorrow, Watkins wants more of the same as Gareth Southgate's side face Spain.
He said: "At one point, the England fans were outsinging the Dutch. It seemed like there were a lot more of them, but you wouldn't have thought that with our fans being so loud.
"They do have an impact on the players. Their support is everything and they've been supporting us so well so far, so hopefully they can keep going and be loud for us on Sunday."
Watkins, who came on as a substitute for captain Harry Kane on Wednesday, said he was ready if called upon again by Southgate tomorrow.
He said: "I've got that fire in my belly ready whenever I'm called upon. It's going to be a very exciting match, I can't wait to be a part of it and hopefully we can get the job done." If they do pull off only the second ever major tournament win for the men's side, defender Kyle Walker has suggested the players should get matching tattoos.
