Despite Fabio Capello's no-WAG rule this World Cup, the England boys definitely needed some moral support yesterday. And who better to provide that than their loving wives and girlfriends, some of whom defied the Italian manager's request and flew into South Africa for Wednesday's crucial match against Slovenia. First in was Emile Heskey's fiancée Chantelle Tagoe, who arrived in Port Elizabeth with the couple's two sons Jaden, four, and Reigan, two.

Relief: The solemn face is replaced with a smile as England beat Slovenia 1-0 They were seen in the crowd at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, with one of their boys proudly wearing a tall St George's Cross hat as they watched England beat Slovenia 1-0. She was joined in the stadium by fellow WAGs Ellie Darby, who is the girlfriend of Matthew Upson, and defender Glen Johnson's wife Laura. Laura clutched their baby daughter as she watched the match from the stands, while Ellie looked nervously on.

With her mother holding baby Ruby, she checked she had all her bags and everything she needed for her flight. And while most of the team's other halves have stayed at home, Coleen Rooney is said to be on standby to fly out to South Africa to support husband Wayne.
