Since making the switch from Sunderland in 2017, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been a mainstay between the Everton posts throughout a tumultuous nine years for the club, and his loyalty has been rewarded with a chant from the Toffees faithful.
The Merseysiders are enjoying some stability under the guidance of David Moyes, but the supporters at the Hill Dickinson Stadium waste no opportunity to belt out the Jordan Pickford chant when they remember how the shot-stopper's heroics saved them from relegation more than once.
Pickford's consistency has seen him join the small club of goalkeepers to have kept 100 clean sheets in the Premier League, a feat worth extra credit considering the lacklustre, ever-changing defences that he has had to play behind during his career.
Additionally, England‘s number one goalkeeper holds the record for the most save of the month awards in the top flight, and has shown no signs of slowing down as he eyes European qualification in 2026-27.
Read on as Football Ground Guide covers all you need to know about the Jordan Pickford chant, including the song's lyrics, tune and origin.
Jordan Pickford chant lyrics and tune
The Jordan Pickford chant is sung to the tune of several other popular football chants, including the Wayne Rooney White Pele chant. The lyrics are as follows:
He's a Mackem, he's a blue,
He's a Toffee through and through,
He hates Newcastle, he hates the sh*te,
Jordan Pickford is Dynamite

The first airing of the Jordan Pickford chant came around the same time that it was announced that he was set to commit his long-term future to Everton.
Considering he is England's number one goalkeeper, and has been for nearly a decade, there would be plenty of potential suitors for him, so his commitment to Everton is admirable and clearly appreciated by the club's supporters.
The song refers to Pickford's proud North East heritage. He grew up in Sunderland and lived his dream by playing first-team football for the Black Cats. The chant also refers to his adopted state of being an honorary Everton fan, and his hatred for Liverpool (or the sh*te in this case).
Whilst the chant brings together supporters of both Sunderland and Everton, the two clubs were pitted against each other for the first time since September 2017 in the 2025-26 campaign, when the Merseyside outfit made the trip to the Stadium of Light.
In a weird moment, Pickford was forced to line up against his boyhood club at the Stadium of Light, with the England international making 35 appearances for the Black Cats before securing a move to Goodison Park in June 2017.
The shot-stopper was unable to keep a clean sheet on his return to Sunderland, though, with Granit Xhaka equalising for the hosts in the Premier League match following an early opener from magical winger Iliman Ndiaye.
Everton and Sunderland clashed again during the penultimate round of the season, with the North-East side winning 3-1 on their first-ever league trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

FGG says: A long time coming
Jordan Pickford has been a consistent top performer for Everton in recent seasons, especially during the years of battling for their survival, and his commitment to stay at the club during their difficult spells is certainly admirable.
As a result, the goalkeeper has undeniably deserved his own Everton chant for a long while now, so it is great to see the club's supporters finally giving him one – and a good one at that.
With the England shot stopper set to stay at the Hill Dickinson through to 2029, expect this song to grow even more in popularity in the coming months and years.
