Big Sam Allardyce is hot favourite to be the next England manager
DUDLEY-born Sam Allardyce looks set to become the next England manager after bookies slashed their odds on him getting the job.
Big Sam grew up in Wren's Nest and played as a youth for Dudley Town before going on to be a professional player and Premier League manager.
The 61-year-old, currently Sunderland boss, is hot favourite to fill the vacancy left when Roy Hodgson quit the national team after a dismal exit from Euro 2016.
Is Big Sam the right man for the job?
