Peter Shilton believes Jordan Pickford should be England’s first-choice goalkeeper at the World Cup.
The Everton keeper has been given the England No 1 shirt for the tournament rather than Jack Butland and Nick Pope, who have been given the No 13 and 23 jerseys respectively.
Butland played for over an hour of the 2-0 win over Costa Rica at Elland Road before he was replaced by Pope, but Shilton prefers Pickford out of the three.
He told Sky Sports News: “I would go for Pickford, I think he’s got a bit of character, he looks intimidating but Jack Butland tonight showed that he’s got confidence.
“I think Pickford is a little bit quicker around his feet, big Jack is great on the big stuff but just occasionally he gets done a little bit around his feet. That would be one slight criticism I would make in what is a terrific keeper.”
