A man who shares his name with England's goalscoring hero Ollie Watkins has been arrested in Norfolk.
Watkins, 32, of no fixed address, was wanted on recall to prison, breach of court bail and failing to appear at court.
Police said Watkins often frequents the Watton, King’s Lynn, Dereham and Hunstanton areas and confirmed that he definitely did not fire England into the Euros final with a dramatic last-minute winner against the Dutch.

They described him as 6ft 3ins tall and of slim build.
He was also said to walk with a slight limp - but should be fit for Sunday's game.
Police confirmed Watkins was arrested on July 11 - the morning after his footballer namesake's heroics.
The 28-year-old Aston Villa striker - who is definitely not wanted for breaching bail conditions - was a shock substitution in the second half.
It was his 14th appearance and fourth goal for the national team.
