New England boss Sam Allardyce snapped at McDonald’s drive-thru in Bolton

Manager all smiles as he poses for photo at drive-thru in Bolton before tucking into a McDonald's meal

SAM ALLARDYCE appears to have lost none of his appetite for the England job after a weekend visit to McDonalds.

The former West Ham, Sunderland and Bolton Wanderers boss was last month appointed as the manager of the Three Lions.

Big Sam was handed the task of rejuvenating England's flops after their dismal showing at Euro 2016, where they were dumped out of the competition by minnows Iceland, costing Roy Hodgson his job.

Allardyce has spent his first few weeks at the helm by acclimatising himself at St. George's Park - and it seems he has built up quite the appetite at England HQ.

The 61-year-old was captured by staff at the Bolton branch of McDonald's on Saturday, and they were quick to share the news of the England chief's visit online via their Twitter page.

After tucking into his tasty treat, which may well have been a Big Mac, Allardyce received a further boost as tickets sold out for his first game in charge of the national side.
