Paul Ince's wife is in charge as son Tom shines

Claire Ince showed the Guvnor who was in charge at the Banks's Stadium last night – slapping her husband on the back as son Tom bagged a brace for England Under-21s.

The 21-year-old Blackpool ace scored twice at Walsall last night, as England U21s beat Sweden 4-0, to spark very different reactions from his parents with Claire jumping to her feet in celebration and giving former Wolves skipper Paul a smack for not celebrating.

Tom joked afterwards: "My dad will probably still criticise me for part of my game! Seriously, though, I'm so grateful for their support. They are always behind me. It means a lot."
