England’s Under-21 stars let their hair down in style after retaining their European crown – and for one player, the celebrations may have gone a bit too far.
The Young Lions were crowned back-to-back Under-21 European champions after a dramatic 3–2 extra-time win over Germany in Slovakia. It was Jonathan Rowe, off the bench, who sealed it with a stooping header in extra time.
What followed? A party – naturally. After a gruelling few weeks, the squad toasted their success in Bratislava before continuing the celebrations on the flight home.
Tyler Morton seemed to be one of the liveliest, spotted chugging a beer on the plane – earning the nickname “Tyler De Bruyne” from Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, a nod to both his assist for the winner and his standout second-half display in the final.
Harvey Elliott, who scored in the final and was later named Player of the Tournament, also enjoyed the moment – seen rocking sunglasses and posing with the trophy and his teammates.
But Jack Hinshelwood may have taken it the furthest. The Brighton youngster was caught on camera by Elliott lying down on an airport luggage conveyor belt, cowboy hat still on, water bottle in hand, struggling to gather himself after the wild night.
It came despite manager Lee Carsley’s warning to “have a shandy or two” and go easy before the early hours flight back to Birmingham.
Let’s just say… Hinshelwood missed the memo.
