A 10ft mural of former England and West Bromwich Albion manager Sam Allardyce has appeared in Dudley. <\/p>\n
The artwork, depicting the former Premier League boss eating orange chips, a Black Country classic, is believed to have been pasted onto a wall in Union Street on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Allardyce grew up in Dudley and locals have suggested the area could now have its own Banksy. <\/p>\n
Resident Scot Simmons said: “How did he do it without anyone seeing? Did he just put it up in a couple of minutes? Is he trying to remain mysterious?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Fellow Dudley resident Andy Smith said: “Local lad eating orange chips, what more do you want? <\/p>\n
“There is a genuine Banksy in Birmingham, perhaps this is Dudley’s answer to Banksy.”<\/p>\n
Mr Simmons added: “Looking at it you don’t know how good it is till you come down and see it.<\/p>\n
“It’s put Dudley on the map. Big Sam, immortalised here, yeah it’s brilliant.”<\/p>\n
Allardyce managed Blackpool, Notts County, Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham and Sunderland during his career as well as having a short-lived spell as England boss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
