As temperatures continue to plummet across the country, cold days out at the football are always helped by a scalding cup of Bovril to warm your cockles.

Luckily Bovril’s manufacturers spotted their pleas for a warming cup of the brown stuff and set off with a jumbo canteen of it to give away for free ahead of the match.
Home fans couldn’t hide their sheer glee at the return of the fan-favourite drink, and some were spotted chanting ‘Bring Bovril Back, Bring Bovril Back’ as they entered turnstiles ahead of the game.
City supporters will be hoping that they will be warming up with a cup of Bovril by the time the team hosts Leicester City in the Premier League on Boxing Day.
