Jordan Pickford boards England team bus with custom family-themed backpack as he leaves Qatar hotel after World Cup KO
ENGLAND goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has wife Megan and son Arlo with him everywhere he goes.
The 28-year-old stopper was seen sporting an adorable family-themed backpack as he boarded the bus for the airport after last night’s heartbreaking defeat to France.
Pickford was spotted with the custom bag as the Three Lions left their Souq Al Wakra hotel in Qatar.
It shows a cute cartoon picture of himself and son Arlo, three, with Wembley Stadium in the background.
He also has personalised badges of his own initials on the bag, plus “Megs” and “Arlo”.
Megan, 26, and Arlo flew out to Qatar to cheer on Pickford at the World Cup.
They were in the stands for last night’s 2-1 loss to reigning champions France.
Arlo went to the game with a sweet homemade sign that had pictures of Pickford on and the words: “Go daddy we love you.”
Pickford and Megan are childhood sweethearts, having first met when they were at school.
The pair welcomed Arlo in 2019, before they tied the knot a year later in a stunning Maldives ceremony.

Stopper Pickford didn’t put a foot wrong for the Three Lions in Qatar, and was powerless to prevent either of France’s goals on Saturday.
Aurelien Tchouameni opened the scoring with an arrowed long-range strike into the bottom corner, before Olivier Giroud’s header took a deflection off Harry Maguire for the second.
England skipper Harry Kane missed a late penalty to level the game up at 2-2, having earlier converted emphatically from the spot.
