Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope will jet out to Qatar later today as he hopes to impress for England on the biggest stage of them all. The Magpies star was part of the 2018 World Cup setup but failed to make it off the bench as the Three Lions made it to the final four.
Pope became a social media sensation earlier this season after a viral Twitter poll propelled him to brief and bizarre internet fame. However, he has also been making headlines in between the sticks for Newcastle, who boast the best defence in the Premier League this term.
Pope is flourishing right now but the story of his footballing career is one of early heartbreak followed by incredible resilience on his journey to the top of English football.
