Jordan Pickford

Well, yeah, he is a professional athlete and I am a Grimsby Town fan.

And Max basically was signed to Grimsby in 2021 or 2020?

Sounds about right.

2021.

Yeah, sounds about right.

So Max was brought in as a goalkeeper at Grimsby.

And I remember his debut was against Bromsgrove Sporting.

That's correct, isn't it?

That was your debut?

In the FA Cup.

And we won 5-0.

But my overriding memory of that game was not the clean sheet that Max kept, but was that... Because he was FA Cup, lower league, there was just a man rolling a trolley back and forth behind Max's goal, just taking pies to and from...

the various different canteen bits.

And yeah, I mean, from there, then Max kind of went on to establish his position in the team as first choice keeper, and we got promoted that season.

So he's a bit of a legend in the Grimsby circles.

And you've got to say that that is quite a journey, coming from a man pushing a trolley full of pies behind you at Bromsgrove to the World Cup, Max.

That's the home of football, isn't it?

The FA Cup takes you all around the places.

Yeah.

Yeah, such a special place to start, that's for sure.
