This Is England's Thomas Turgoose Sends Brilliant Tweet To Jordan Pickford

Thomas Turgoose is Jordan Pickford's doppelganger, so it makes perfect sense for him to play the England hero in a potential movie when it does comes home.

Pickford starred between the sticks against Colombia as England booked a spot in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in dramatic fashion.

He not only produced a breathtaking save in normal time, but also denied Carlos Bacca from the spot in the penalty shootout.

England eventually beat Colombia 4-3 on penalties, securing a tie against Sweden for a place in the semi-final.

Not to mention 'This Is England' star Thomas Turgoose sending him a message: "Ay @JPickford1 if we win the World Cup can I play you the bioepic please ?"

People have already thought of a title:

While plenty corrected his Tweet:

Thomas Turgoose as Jordan Pickford? Yes please. Make it happen!
