From Darlington to the deep end at Euro 2020: Jordan Pickford and Kasper Schmeichel both began their journeys with a loan spell at the North East minnows... now two of the tournament's best goalkeepers go head-to-head for a place in the final

Jordan Pickford and Kasper Schmeichel have a fair bit in common. Both are in form ahead of tonight's Euro 2020 semi-final between Denmark and England, and both made their senior debuts at the same non-League club.

The two goalkeepers will line-up beside each other in the Wembley tunnel this evening, having both started their professional football journeys 250 miles away at Darlington.

The shot stoppers have since used other loan spells to rise up through the football pyramid towards the Premier League and the international stage - and are now set to take part in the biggest match of their lives.
