Nicholas David Pope (born 19 April 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Newcastle United and the England national team.
Pope started his career in Ipswich Town's youth teams and after being released aged 16, he joined Bury Town. He signed for League One club Charlton Athletic in May 2011, before having loan spells with Harrow Borough, Welling United, Cambridge United, Aldershot Town, York City and Bury. In July 2016, Pope joined Premier League club Burnley, where he remained until the club's relegation in May 2022, after which he signed for Newcastle the following month.
In 2018, Pope made his debut for the England national team, and has been a member of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and 2022 FIFA World Cup squads.
I ask Pope how tall he is. "Six-foot-six-inches-ish," he replies. "The average door is six-foot-six-inches… I've banged my head on a few!"
I'm 6ft 6, so it's easier to imagine myself and build things into my game from goalkeepers of a similar size.
