Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been England’s number one for several years.
Jordan Pickford made his debut for England in November 2017 against Germany, and since then, he’s not been displaced despite stiff competition.
Pickford has collected a whopping 78 caps and has played at four major tournaments, helping his nation to two European Championship finals.

Jordan Pickford shares his favourite moment for England
Asked what his favourite moment has been in an England shirt, Pickford was quick to name one that may come as a surprise.
“There’s been loads,” Pickford told England’s website. “Being at four major tournaments – World Cups every four years and EUROs every four years – is always great, to represent your country at major tournaments.
“Colombia is probably the one where when I look back now still – obviously our aim is to win the World Cup next year – winning that penalty shootout at the Russia World Cup was a big moment as in England itself, not just for me making the save or Eric scoring the winning penalty.
“It was more that we’d been written off and we had no expectations but the country started to believe more and that’s what we started to do as well from that moment.”

Jordan Pickford reveals his favourite moment watching England
Pickford also shared what his first moment was watching England as a supporter, although it wasn’t a happy one.
“It’s not a good memory but probably my first memory of the World Cup was when Ronaldinho scored against David Seaman,” the Everton star said.
“I remember being at school, getting to school early and watching it on one of those big, old TVs in the dining hall, just sat on the floor watching it.
“And when I was starting to get a bit older, when I was 14, when Lampard scored that goal that didn’t count against Germany. That was another memory for me as well.”
