Jordan Pickford’s teenage tweets are delightfully charming

Jordan Pickford is now a national hero

After his penalty heroics at the end of England's round of 16 World Cup tie against Colombia on Tuesday, Jordan Pickford cemented his place in the England history books. In saving the penalty, Pickford became the first England goalkeeper to save a penalty in a World Cup shoot-out since David Seaman against Argentina in 1998. No matter what happens between now and the end of the tournament, Pickford has done himself proud, and achieved things that his younger self would scarcely believe. How do we know what his younger self would have thought? Well, thankfully there's a little something called Twitter, and Pickford has been a fan for quite some time. Now, I know what you're thinking but fear not, this not some sting, looking for bad things, this is merely a list featuring a selection Pickford's numerous funny, innocent and brilliantly charming teenage tweets. Sit back and enjoy. https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/205395194143719424 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/549527131039223809 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/544251632704561152 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/541017165143764992 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/530459739994722305 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/528992403638996993 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/525752158785138688 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/407121523879989248 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/391288671510740992 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/390178018670682112 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/383238943832932352 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/364698827791405056 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/351455863627722752 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/347706322348814337 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/344214639002935298 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/343774588750151684 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/258703437422788609 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/254238090233794561 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/252138360460673024 https://twitter.com/JPickford1/status/188701774239105024
