Town boss Joe Royle has flown out to Portugal ahead of tonight's England friendly at the Estadio Algarve. Royle will summarise the game, sat alongside commentator and Town shareholder John Motson.

Royle told the club site: "I enjoyed the experience of working at the World Cup in Japan and Korea.

"It was the first time I had done the job at a big tournament and it's a possibility I might get the opportunity to do so again in Portugal this summer.

"Being at the major tournaments is also ideal for scouting work as well."
