Jordan Pickford has taken the world by a storm as England's goalkeeper, with fans being particularly taken by his passion for the game. The Everton goalie is back on our screens once again as England enter the final for the 2024 UEFA Euro tournament.
After the Lionesses won the Euros in 2022, now it's the men's chance to take the trophy home - their first major victory in the tournament as they go head-to-head with Spain.

Jordan and his wife Megan are childhood sweethearts. They met while at school and have reportedly been together since they were 14.

They went on to legally tie the knot in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, but were unable to have their dream wedding due to restrictions. In 2022, the couple had a fairytale ceremony in the dreamy Maldives complete with pink roses and pampas grass.
Their wedding was an intimate affair with just 13 guests in attendance.
Alongside a carousel of stunning images taken during their big day, Megan gushed: "Worth the wait for the most magical day with my soulmate. Introducing The Pickfords 18.06.2022."
Megan's support for Jordan
Megan has been at the frontline supporting Jordan at every moment throughout the Euros, proudly wearing the Number 1 shirt to each game.
Ahead of England's game against the Netherlands, she wrote on Instagram: "Please don’t take me home @jpickford1".

They went on to welcome their second child - a daughter called Ostara - in 2023. The couple announced her birth on social media in a sweet post that read: "Welcome to the world Ostara Haze Pickford. Our dinky dotty dream come true."
In order to protect Arlo and Ostara's privacy, Megan and Jordan keep their children's faces hidden from social media.
