'You have done our club and city proud' - Sunderland's support for Jordan Henderson and Jordan Pickford ahead of Euro 2020 final

Sunderland-born football stars Jordan Henderson and Jordan Pickford have been flying the flag for their home city in the delayed tournament.

And now, with just hours to go until the final, Wearside has united once more to cheer the lads on and help bring football home.

The midfielder and goalkeeper have been hailed as legends and heroes by fans in their home city, with a stream of good luck messages coming in on social media.

Sunderland Empire joined in with the support for the lads with a post on Facebook on Sunday.

It said: “Wishing the best of luck to the England football team tonight - especially local heroes Jordan Pickford and Jordan Henderson.

"We’re lighting our iconic tower red and white again tonight to cheer you all on.”

Henderson and Pickford, who now play for Liverpool and Everton respectively, came up through Sunderland AFC’s academy.

SAFC posted a tribute from the club to the pair, and the national side, ahead of the game.

It read: “You’ve made us proud, but now it’s time to bring it home … Wearside is with you, Jordan Henderson, Jordan Pickford! Come on, England!”

Here are some of your messages for our two Jordans on Euro final day:
