Van mad

Landlord of The Bull Inn in Pitsea, Essex, Jim Cosentino is in the vanguard of England’s World Cup support — after creating his own team minibus complete with 12 caricatures of Sven and the lads.

Jim, 26, enlisted artist pal Nigel Shayes, 29, to paint them on his old Transit as a centrepiece for footie mania at his pub.

The publican said: “It’s wacky, but we’ve got to support the football. Everyone was moaning that England haven’t got a chance so I thought I’d raise their spirits. We ARE going to win.”

In the pictures, outgoing coach Sven is in driving with his P45, while skipper David Beckham holds a map of Germany . . . upside down. Nigel said: “It was a challenge.”
