Jordan Pickford’s Biography

The English goalkeeper was born Jordan Lee Pickford on 7 March 1994 in the English city of Washington in the town of Sunderland. Unlike many other children who grew up playing football because their parents had something to do with the sport, the Everton striker’s father was a builder, while his mother was a housekeeper.

As much as he loved football as a child, Jordan began his education at St. Robert of Newminster Catholic School before attending Sunderland Academy when it was obvious he was destined to play football.

In Sunderland, he grew up with his older brother Richard Logan in a house that was not rich. As he would later reveal, it was Richard who set him on the path to becoming a footballer.
