One person wrote: ‘Hahah he’s back! The Steve McLaren lookalike #england’
Another said: ‘Of course that bloke who looks like Steve McLaren is right in the front row. Only spawns for these games.’
A third added: ‘Cameraman at England games don’t find the Steve McLaren lookalike challenge impossible.’
While another chimed he must be ‘Steve McLaren’s long lost brother.’
Steve McClaren was the manager of England from 2006-07, spanning 18 games in 16 months.

England stars are reportedly set to pocket a share of a £14m pot if the Three Lions win Euro 2024
England players are reportedly set for a bumper £14million payday should they end 58 years of hurt and win the European Championship this summer.
England came agonisingly close to winning their first ever Euros title three years ago but fell to Italy on penalties at Wembley. Victory in Germany would secure only the second major trophy in the country’s history.
But if the motivation of writing their names in the history books wasn’t enough, according to The Sun, Three Lions players will be in line to receive a share of a £14m bonus if they are the ones lifting the Henri Delaunay on July 14.
They report that players have negotiated a share of the £24m prize the FA will pocket for the victory. Captain Harry Kane and Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham will reportedly share a pot of £9.6m.
According to the report, Southgate will be the biggest monetary beneficiary of the triumph, with him set to receive a £4m bonus, while assistant Steve Holland has also been promised an unspecified sum.
That leaves around £14m for the remaining 24 players in Southgate’s squad. That figure represents a record high, eclipsing the £13m bonus for the 2022 World Cup.
