AN ENGLAND revealed he was better off asleep after he was pictured dozing off during England's 0-0 draw with Slovenia.
Freddie Hahn, 32, nodded off in the stands during England's bore draw in their final game of the Euros group stage.
The pensions manager woke up to booing with several fans disappointed with the team's performance.
Freddie, from Crawley, Sussex, claimed to have had a great day out until the football match ruined it.
However, he has enjoyed his newfound fame after a picture of him sprawled in his stadium seat featured on The Sun's front page.

But to be honest, I could probably do a better job than him

The dad of one will continue to back manager Gareth Southgate on the condition that England improves and lifts the trophy in Germany.
He said: "It was a very dull game.
"There wasn’t much going on and I thought I was better off asleep.
"There was a lot of booing at the end and that woke me up.
"I was actually having a nice dream about England winning the tournament — but I woke up to the nightmare of England’s performance.
"I’d been on the beers all day and just thought it’s better to close my eyes than see what was happening on the pitch."
The England manager had plastic beer cups thrown at him by a section of the fans following the draw in Cologne on Tuesday night.
It was the latest in a dull campaign that saw the supposed tournament favourites secure the top spot after scoring just two goals in three games.
Freddie paid just £25 for his match ticket and flew to Germany with pals from the local soccer team, Crawley Devils — from Southgate’s home town.

"We actually attended the same secondary school," Freddie added.
"I didn’t boo him when I woke up because he’s from the same place as me and I didn’t want to be too harsh on him."
"But to be honest, I could probably do a better job than him."
Southgate will be hoping for a better performance from his £1.2billion superstar squad as they look to lift their first silverware in 58 years.
The England fan admitted that the seven or eight pints he had during the day caused him to doze off even before kick-off
"We came into the city very early, had a fantastic lunch and started drinking," he added.
'GOOD LAUGH'
“There was a real party atmosphere and no trouble.
"It was a fantastic occasion.
"The only thing that ruined it was what happened on the pitch."
Freddie, who has a one-year-old son with his partner, Tash Copsey, said he is known for falling asleep, especially at parties.
He said: “I didn’t realise a picture of me sleeping would become such a big thing. My partner and family are having a good laugh about it.
“I’ve had lots of messages. People find it really hilarious, really funny.
"I’m the most famous England fan in the world at the moment.
“A lot of people know me as the bloke who falls asleep at parties, but I’ve never done it in a packed football stadium before.
“I put it down to my busy life and the fact that I’ve got a young child.
“It was nice to get out to Germany and spend some time with the lads.”
Freddie, who manages a football team in the Mid Sussex league, added: “I think I put my players to sleep sometimes with my team talks.
“I love going to watch England away and I’ve had a great time and hopefully Gareth and the boys can turn it around.
"It was a frustrating game because we have so much talent at our disposal."
Freddie flew back to England yesterday — and has no plans to return to Germany.
