Striking Jude Bellingham mural added to Nuneaton’s famous Three Lions wall – more England Euro stars could follow

An incredible portrait of Jude Bellingham has been added to Nuneaton’s famous Three Lions wall. The midfield maestro joined the likes of Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane, Raheem Stirling, Leah Williamson and Sir Bobby Moore on the huge wall below the Williams family home at the Bull Ring.

It took talented artist N4T4 nearly 10 hours to recreate a striking version of the Real Madrid star’s official Euro 2024 image. To mark England’s place in the finals, the Williams family decided they wanted add another face to their wall – but who it will be has been kept a surprise.

“I had no idea, I left it to Nathan (N4T4), a lot of people were saying it should have been Watkins, but I think Jude was the perfect choice,” says Kate Williams.

“(The portrait) just looks incredible, no one can get over how real it is.”

Should the Three Lions roar to victory in tonight’s final, there will be more additions to the wall. “There is a space between Harry Kane and Leah Williamson where the Euro trophy would fit perfectly.

“We also plan to find another player alongside Jude, hopefully whoever scores the winning goal for England tonight.” Once again, the community spirited Williams family have created a place for England fans to visit, admire the murals and share their excitement ahead of the final.

“We had so many people turn out on the last day, it’s such a good atmosphere, there’s so much belief in the team. Everyone thinks they are coming home and we have booked next week to add more. to the wall he returns home”.

As well as creating a legacy for the England football team, Williams are using the wall murals to help raise money for good causes.

The first mural helped raise more than £10,000 – which bought eight life-saving defibrillators. Then, when Leah Williamson and Bobby Moore, all donated funds were used to purchase soccer equipment for local girls’ teams.

Now, they hope to buy specialized “bleeding kits” for the city. Each is priced at around £200 and the target has been set at £2,000. Hundreds of pounds have been donated so far.

“People have been really generous, but it’s not just about the bleeding kits, it’s about raising awareness of knife crime,” added Ms Williams. “We want to hit the knife.”
