2017/18 Jordan Pickford

Everton's £30m goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been on quite a journey... 'I'd eat my pre-match meal in the back of my dad's car!'
  • New boy Jordan Pickford is determined to impress at Everton since £30m move
  • Britain's most expensive goalkeeper has come a long way since his early days
  • Pickford would eat chicken and pasta prior to games and that remains the same
  • His parents will be at Goodison on Saturday to watch the start of his next chapter
There will be a jolt when Jordan Pickford sits down for his pre-match meal, a stark reminder about the colourful road he has travelled.

The dish, from those early days as a youngster at Sunderland with stars in his eyes, has never changed. The man who became the most expensive British goalkeeper in history in June — when he signed for Everton for a club-record £30million — has always chosen chicken and pasta.

But the jolt will come on Saturday, three hours before kick-off, when he joins his new team-mates and thinks about his route into the big time. One of the sharpest memories will involve being in the back of his parents' car, heading to non-League grounds, with the same food in front of him.

'I'd travel to Alfreton for games and my dad, Lee, would drive,' says Pickford. 'I'd eat my pre-match meal in the back. Mam would make chicken and pasta and she'd stick it in a tub. I'm not sure it was too professional but as long as I was getting man of the match it was all right! They both came to every game, it was brilliant.

'It's the little things you remember. My mam, Sue, would take me to training in a taxi when I was a kid if dad, who is a builder, had to work on a Saturday morning. You look back at the stuff like that and realise the sacrifices were all worth it.'

It's Friday, I'm in love.
 

I watched the Sevilla game last week, and he is already miles better than Robles. He's the best keeper Everton have had since Nev and probably the best signing Everton made all summer.
 
It is a shame that the scores of clueless, cynical melts who populate this forum nowadays will be screaming for him to be dropped the first bad game (and he WILL have bad games, he is still a kid) he has! :(
 
I think he is our best summer signing, I expect him to win us points this year. I can see him as Everton and England keeper for many years to come. We will look back in 7/8 years and wonder how he only cost £30 mill.
