Stunning mural of footballers Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers eating orange chips appears in Birmingham

A stunning mural of England players eating orange chips has appeared on the side of a chippy in a Birmingham suburb.

Dudley artist Dion Kitson praised the owners of the Classic Fryer in Hagley Road West, Quinton for being “good sports” after he was able to put up the mural yesterday (July 10).

The artwork, which was created using photoshop, depicts Stourbridge-born midfielder Jude Bellingham and Halesowen-born attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers eating the Black Country staple.

The artist claims no one asked him to put up the art but “people love it” and that he was given some free chips for his efforts.

And it appears he is right as fans of the artist have taken to social media to praise the work. One user said: “Iconic.”

Another added: “Genius,” while a third commented: “Saw this yesterday and wondered who it was, great work.”

The latest mural was erected ahead of tonight’s 2026 World Cup Quarter Final match between England and Norway, which will kick off at 10pm (July 11) from Miami.

The artist previously went viral after combining two Black Country icons, orange chips and the former England manager, the ten foot mural appeared on Union Street last year, sparking a flurry of headlines. 

Depicting the Dudley born 70-year-old tucking into a bag of orange chips, its origins still remain a mystery. As does Mr Allardyce's attitude to the Black Country's beloved orange chip.

But Big Sam, known for drinking red wine by the pint glass, told ITV News, he was chuffed with his hometown homage. 

He said in a video message to ITV News. “Just seen the mural. Absolutely privileged to be honest with you, I thought it was a very good likeness.

“Chips look a bit hot, but I really enjoyed seeing it. Whoever did it, thank you very much.”
