English football fans have been voted the best in Europe in a Europe-wide poll

The return of the Champions League gives us the chance to see if the fans are right in their assessment of European football.

During the summer more than 35,000 fans across Europe answered a series of questions in a revealing survey compiled by Ford's Feel Football team.

And the good news is English football comes out with flying colours.

When the fans were asked which country was worst for diving, England came fifth with just 3.9 per cent of the votes. The nation branded by some distance as the worst for diving was Italy (43 per cent) - something Manchester United fans hope they don't witness when Roma visit on Tuesday.

Portugal came second (26 per cent) with Spain (14.7 per cent) and France (5.3 per cent) all ahead of England.

The supporters were also asked which nation had the most enthusiastic and entertaining fans. England's fans won this vote by a landslide receiving 52.9 per cent of the votes. Their closest rivals were Spain (17 per cent), Italy (9.6 per cent) and Portugal (5.3 per cent).

the englisg fans are now a credit to themselves, they have cleaned up there act and desreve this award. pity scottish clubs in europe cannot behave as well, secterian singing,shootings in amsterdam, riots in osasuna, planes diverted, riots in airports, arrests made in uefa cup finals featuring scottish clubs and of course the 2 (main) teams mostly being pish. if the old firm were ever in a british leauge they would HAVE to clean up their act!!!!

god knows indeed, riots in airports, stabbings,planes diverted, booing the winners as they collected the trophy,singing secterian bile. if you check you'll find that almost of these awards are made to the beaten finalists of european trophies, like a patronising silver medal.

old firm fans are a f***ing disgrace.
