A goods entrance at the plant has been rebranded The Nissan Southgate, with his name and face etched on a mound nearby.
The entrance, which has been known as ‘The South Gate’ since the plant first opened 35 years ago, is used by thousands of staff and part delivery drivers every day.
Nissan said they wanted to show their support for Southgate as England will play in the semi-final against Denmark tonight.
Michael Jude, HR Director at Nissan Sunderland Plant said: ‘Thousands of our team here at the plant and supplier delivery drivers use the Nissan Plant South Gate every single day.
‘To show our support for Gareth and the lads for tonight we’ve renamed it the Nissan Southgate, complete with a picture of the man himself. Come on England.’
