Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford celebrated his 30th birthday in style this weekend and a number of famous faces were in attendance.
On Saturday afternoon, the England international featured in Everton’s 2-0 defeat to Man United, with Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes striking for the hosts.
Hours later, it appears that Pickford spent the evening celebrating with his loved ones and close friends after turning 30 last Thursday.
Pickford’s wife Megan took to Instagram on Sunday to share photos from the event, writing: ‘What a night for the man’s 30th birthday.
‘You mean the world to all of us. Thank you so much @jonnybongolacey for the best night ever’.

The photos she shared showed the glitzy ballroom designed for the event at Merrydale Manor, as well as pictures of herself with the Everton star.
The account Megan tagged belongs to ‘Jonny Bongo’, the founder of Bongos Bingo – which according to their website is ‘a crazy mix of traditional bingo, dance-offs, rave intervals and audience participation’.
Described as ‘the definitive bingo experience’, it offers guests the chance for gamblers to win a range of prizes including giant pink unicorns, Henry Hoovers and karaoke machines.
A private Bongos Bingo show can cost up to £14,500, with the event accommodating a minimum of 150 people.
‘Bongo’ took to his own Instagram page to share a photo from the evening, which showed Wayne Rooney, Tony Bellew and Seamus Coleman all attending the event.
Rooney had also been at Old Trafford earlier in the day for United’s clash with Everton, where he heavily criticized Bruno Fernandes for allowing Marcus Rashford to take United’s second penalty.
Fernandes scored the first penalty of the match after James Tarkowski fouled Alejandro Garnacho, and looked ready to step up again when the Argentine was brought down by Ben Godfrey just minutes later.

However, he passed the ball to Rashford instead. And despite the striker scoring, Rooney, speaking on TNT Sports, claimed it was the wrong decision to pass the ball.
“I think every club should have one penalty taker,” Rooney said. ‘I understand if a player is going through a difficult period, but when it is 1-0 it is risky.
‘The goalkeepers are studying so much now that Jordan (Pickford) would have known his favorite way, but it’s a cat and mouse game.
‘I always practiced and told the goalkeepers how. If I know them – I’ve outscored them all – but it can be a bit more nervous.’
