I have learned in football that you can't trust anyone and if you listen to what everyone says, more often than not it doesn't happen. So when I'm told 'so-and-so are interested' or 'such-and-such have done this' I don't get caught up in it all.

We are a rugby family really. My dad and both granddads played rugby. Dad was good, on his way to Bath until he broke his leg. My brother Harry got an invitation to go and play for Bristol. I go and watch Sale Sharks and have been to Twickenham a few times.

Jack Butland

Time Good Family

I played rugby until I was 15, 16 and I eventually had to say, 'No, I have to choose one' and it was obviously going to be football, I miss playing rugby a lot.

Jack Butland

Yin Vent Us

I was doing up to 10-12 hours a week sitting on a train to get to training but it was something I needed to do. But I still passed all my GCSEs - two As, six Bs and a C.

Jack Butland

Week Up Two

I am not someone who enjoys being on the bench.

Jack Butland

Who T Someone

There's no reason why we can't win trophies at Stoke, we'll try and win some cups and do as well as we can, but I obviously have ambitions.

Jack Butland

Win Why Well

We can only control what we do on the pitch and what we do on the training ground.

Jack Butland

UN Training Train

I have learned in football that you can't trust anyone and if you listen to what everyone says, more often than not it doesn't happen. So when I'm told 'so-and-so are interested' or 'such-and-such have done this' I don't get caught up in it all.

Jack Butland

Trust You Very

All I can focus on is playing as many games as I can at the highest level. If that leads me to the World Cup, then brilliant. It's certainly a target of mine.

Jack Butland

Yin World Cup World

You reach sometimes when you're at the lowest and times when you don't know if you are going to play again or when the next injection or operation might be. There are sometimes when you are at rock bottom. That's when you need people around you, at the club, the fans, little tweets on social media to give you some reassurance.

Jack Butland

Time You West

To be in the England squad, you have got to be playing well and your standards have got to be up there.

Jack Butland

Your You Yin

There's always people watching you, no matter who you are or who you're playing for.

Jack Butland

You Yin Who

If I could wish to steal anyone's attributes whose would it be? Good question. Maybe not a specific attribute, but if I could replicate the longevity of Buffon's career I'd be a happy man.

Jack Butland

Good Car Would

I want to play in the Champions League and I want to win trophies.

Jack Butland

Win Want Trophies

You never know what may happen with injuries and suspensions.

Jack Butland

You Wit Us

I love watching the Six Nations.

Jack Butland

Love Watching Watch

I feel I have experienced pretty much everything I can in football, winning, losing, the injury side and all the set-backs.

Jack Butland

Experience Winning Win

I am enjoying the opportunity to play in the Premier League.

Jack Butland

Yin Unity Unit

I won't kick up a fuss and I will always be a team man, but ultimately I want to play.

Jack Butland

Won Will Ways

My ambitions are to be the Stoke number one and England number one, but there are other things I want to achieve in my career as well.

Jack Butland

Car Well Want

Communication is something that I find if don't do, I will go missing, I won't be fully focused. If I'm constantly giving messages to the defenders not only do they know where they are but I am switched on and in the right position. It all links together.

Jack Butland

Communication Age Won

It's a good thing isn't it, having competition? I enjoy it.

Jack Butland

We used to go cycling as a family every weekend. I played basketball, cricket, badminton, and was half-decent at them.

Jack Butland

I had dreams of being a professional rugby player.

Jack Butland

We have to be aware of our profile all the time now, there are cameras everywhere. It can be difficult at times, we are young men after all. But we know we have to be careful. We have to be responsible.

Jack Butland

We all know the power of social media, things can get out there so quickly. We are high-profile footballers, we know that.

Jack Butland

Regardless of what happens, I want to be part of a successful England team and if I have to swallow my pride and disappointment at not being the number one, then I've got to do that for us to be successful and obviously to help whoever is in goal perform at their best.

Jack Butland

The Olympics has solely been around other sports as far as Great Britain has been considered.

Jack Butland

I learnt at the Euros that that is the level I want to be at. That is where I want to be. The standard of the strikers there was top class. That is where I want to be for a long period of my career.

Jack Butland

Of course, I want to play for England as often as I can and at major tournaments.

Jack Butland

I do want to play at the top.

Jack Butland

It is obviously wonderful to be linked with a club with the history of Liverpool.

Jack Butland

As a goalkeeper it's so important to be in the right position to come and clear those through balls, to make those right decisions.

Jack Butland

I'm always confident in my ability; you have to be as a goalkeeper.

Jack Butland

I wasn't a goalkeeper until I was 13 or 14 so before that, my heroes were the likes of Paul Scholes and David Beckham, but since becoming a goalkeeper, I've obviously trained with Joe Hart.

Jack Butland

I had a fantastic time at Birmingham and I never regret anything that happened there.

Jack Butland

I want to be playing in the Premier League.

Jack Butland

I've always said and I've never hidden the fact that I want to play at the top, be England's No 1 and win trophies.

Jack Butland

I'm at Stoke, I'm enjoying it, it's not my fault and I shouldn't be discriminated against just because who I play for.

Jack Butland

I want to become the best goalkeeper in the country and the best goalkeeper around.

Jack Butland

Whether you play or whether you're on the bench, or however it may be, at some point in your career you will be one of those three roles. You will either be a young, up-and-coming goalkeeper watching the experienced one, you'll either be on the bench or you'll be in goal yourself.

Jack Butland

I'm confident about playing on the big stage.

Jack Butland

As a goalkeeper experience is a massive thing, and there is nothing better than playing games, which thankfully I managed to do at the Olympics.

Jack Butland

I'm massively passionate about playing for my country.

Jack Butland

I've been fortunate enough to play at all the age groups but I'm not eligible for them anymore.

Jack Butland

I get on with Joe Hart really well. He joined Birmingham on loan when I was there and to see him working day-in, day-out was brilliant. As I've progressed I've tried to model myself on him.

Jack Butland

For me, playing for my country is the ultimate honour, and I've been fortunate enough to do that through many of the age groups. It's something that will never get old or boring for me.

Jack Butland

I want to test myself, playing with the best and against the best. I can do that at international level, so that's my target and what I want to reach.

Jack Butland

The Champions League has always been a target of mine. I do want to play at the top.

Jack Butland

You've always got to back yourself.

Jack Butland

I've experienced tournament wins with younger age groups and I know how good it feels - it's about carrying on.
