He shares a name with a notorious film mobster – but the Black Country's own Al Pacino faces a week of housework if his beloved Italy fall to England this weekend.

Alvito Pacino will be locking horns with his wife and son as the Azzurri team take on Roy Hodgson's side at Euro 2012 tomorrow night. And the father-of-one will be handed a humiliating penalty if England triumph.

Mr Pacino will be on washing up, ironing and gardening duties. However if Italy come out on top – 40-year-old wife Sam will be forced to overcome her sea sickness and go on a boat.

Seventeen-year-old son Bobbie is also supporting England as the family, from Queen Street, Walsall Wood, prepare to go head to head.

Alvito, aged 37 was born in Sicily but moved to the West Midlands when he was eight.

Mr Pacino said: "It is going to interesting, they are pretty evenly matched teams."
