A huge effigy of German goalie Oliver Kahn will be burned in a town's bonfire celebrations.

The 25ft papier mach figure will go up in flames at Battle bonfire on Saturday night.

Previous effigies at the event have included politicians, sportsmen and Jurassic Park dinosaurs.

But this year organisers plumped for the German goalkeeper who let in five England goals earlier this year.

The celebrations, organised by the Battel Bonfire Boyes, will start with a torchlit parade and end with a spectacular firework display in aid of local charities.
