In the current edition of the EURO and Copa América, goalkeepers have proven to be very important in saving their teams at crucial moments. However, did you know that the father of England's hero, Jordan Pickford, changed his son's surname to avoid problems?
Pickford was instrumental for England during the penalties against Switzerland and also played a crucial role against the Netherlands.Before becoming the savior of the English on several occasions, his father changed his surname from Jordan Pigford to Jordan Pickford, an action that spared the player from bullying during his childhood. This change was crucial, as the original surname could be translated as "Pig Crossing."
Sometimes, heroes need to be rescued, and in this case, Pickford's father saved him by making that legal change to his name.
