Jordan Pickford
Goalkeeper · Everton
Jordan Pickford started every England match at a third consecutive World Cup in 2026, breaking the Three Lions' all-time World Cup appearance record for a goalkeeper as they went on to win bronze.
Career
Everton's captain and undisputed number one for close to a decade, Pickford started all 38 Premier League matches in the 2025-26 season.
He has represented England at three World Cups — 2018, 2022 and 2026 — and became the Three Lions' most-capped World Cup appearance-maker after starting the 2026 quarter-final against Norway.
How they play
Known for his distribution as much as his shot-stopping, Pickford has been England's first-choice goalkeeper since 2018, prized for his composure in shootouts and his willingness to play out from the back.
Where they are now
Pickford started England's run to the 2026 World Cup semi-finals, where they lost 2-1 to Argentina, then started the third-place play-off win over France that secured bronze.
