We asked you to design a commemorative Big Sam T-shirt – here’s how you responded…

Sam Allardyce's 67-day reign as England boss came to an end earlier this week, denying him the opportunity to spectacularly fail at a major international tournament.

As the English FA begin their search for their third permanent manager of 2016, it also emerged Thursday that they'd had to bin 4,000 T-shirts that had been printed for England's game with Malta on October 8. To celebrate what would've been Big Sam's first match in charge of England at Wembley, the FA stuck his 'the journey starts with us pulling together' quote on the front of the T-shirts and were due to gift them to some of the supporters at the World Cup qualifier. One high-profile undercover Telegraph report later, and that plan is on its arse. Having heard this news, we decided this was the perfect opportunity to ask SportsJOE readers to produce their own T-shirt designs to celebrate commemorate Allardyce's short-lived time as England boss. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/781443218663669760 As is always the case in these situations, you didn't let us down. Here's a sample of some of the responses we received. Right from the off, a strong gravy theme emerged... https://twitter.com/randallbell/status/781444704282021888 https://twitter.com/bloatyfloat/status/781445944155971584 https://twitter.com/joshuahyman/status/781444278954360832 Some were inspired by the post-dismissal interview Allardyce gave from outside his home on Wednesday morning... https://twitter.com/Jonny_Mackenzie/status/781445863247900672 Others used popular kids TV shows as their inspiration... https://twitter.com/RonanHogan/status/781599850378960896 https://twitter.com/gordo_rob/status/781451934624612352 For some reason, there was also a reference to Only Fools and Horses  https://twitter.com/Lankysi/status/781447148512616449 There was a smug Gary Neville... https://twitter.com/Matty344/status/781452064950018048 This... https://twitter.com/YNWA_Ayersie/status/781446955608207360 This... https://twitter.com/JonnyGabriel/status/781449466792607744 And this. https://twitter.com/jimjimdoherty/status/781469238028566528 Let's finish on a positive note though. Twitter user @SMiTH_DOSxx was determined to highlight how grateful Adam Lallana - scorer of the only England goal during the Allardyce era - would have been to his former boss. https://twitter.com/SMiTH_DOSxx/status/781447565170454528
