This summer, one of England's most experienced players will split a long-standing game history.
England anticipates Gareth Southgate's men's last stages of Euro 2024 preparation.
Prior to Sunday night's opening against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen, the Three Lions club flew over to Germany before this week in preparation for Euro 2020's terrible penalty shootout battle at Wembley.
With only two goals conceded in seven games, England's victory in that competition was largely attributable to its excellent protective performance.
Everton keeper Jordan Pickford will once again be between the stones in Germany.
The 30-year-old did a great job for Everton this year, only barely missing out on the Premier League Glove Award, but he will have the chance to established an England report in the coming days.
To identical Peter Shilton's document for the number of fresh sheets at a major tournament, Pickford must only keep one in order before traveling to Germany for Euro 2024.
Shilton, who remains England's most- capped player of all time, played in 20 championship games, keeping a fresh plate in 10 of them. These all came in World Cup matches, with four in 1982, three in 1986 and another three in 1990.
Pickford however, has played in 19 game matches and has nine blank to his title. He kept one clear sheet in the 2018 World Cup, five in the move to the Euro 2020 last, therefore three at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
If the previous Sunderland person manages to keep the record clean up with another two, he will be in the sole possession of the record, which, more importantly, will increase England's chances of putting an end to their 58-year wait for a major trophy.
Southgate's people kick off their Group C campaign against Serbia on Sunday, with games against Denmark and Slovenia to pursue.
