Erm……
Jordan Pickford still wears football boots with the slogan ‘get the rave on’ stitched into them and England’s number one is on course to top the European Championship charts.
Should Pickford keep a clean sheet and make six or more saves in Wednesday night’s semi-final against the Netherlands, then the England goalkeeper will eclipse the save percentage of Spain legend Iker Casillas in the competition.
Pickford currently has a save rate of 85 per cent over the course of his 12 European Championship appearances, which is better than Gianluigi Buffon, Edwin van der Sar and Andreas Isaksson all achieved during their careers.
Casillas finished his career with an 87 per cent save rate from his 14 appearances in the Euros, which gives Pickford the chance to leapfrog him either on Wednesday night or over the course of the next two games if England reach this year’s final.
He still gives his defenders an earful and screams in delight at the England fans, as he did after grabbing hold of the ball at the end of the last-16 victory over Slovakia. But Pickford has also proved a master at peaking when the stakes are at their highest.
