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.

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.

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

I love playing any sport.

I am very proud to represent my country and the honour of being captain.

I want to be playing in the Premier League.

It's difficult to get away from the media, from social media. It's a big thing in society and in football, in particular.

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

I've played for England, played in the Olympics and made my Premier League debut.

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.

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.

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.

I am not someone who enjoys being on the bench.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Sometimes you have a good game and mentally you are very tired.

You've always got to back yourself.

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

I don't prepare to sit on the bench, I prepare to play because you never know what is going to happen.

The most important thing for me is being part of a successful England squad and being as big a part of it as I can.
