Eberechi Eze’s whole family visit his mural on the Kirby Estate

A mural of England’s Eberechi Eze, which was painted on the country’s ‘most patriotic estate,’ was visited by the footballer’s whole family.

Residents on the Kirby Estate in Bermondsey had the tribute done after the local hero, who plays for Crystal Palace, was called up for the Euro 2024 squad.

Chris Dowse, who lives there, said they were elated when his family surprised them with a visit on Friday (14 June.)

He told the News, “His mum and dad, his sister, his brother, his wife, some of his cousins and then a lot of his friends came down.”

“At one point there were about 40 cars parked on the estate.”

Although Eze couldn’t be there in person, they were able to speak to him from Germany.

“We Facetimed him,” he said, “it was pretty special.”
