74 Quotes by Jack Butland

I hardly had any coaching until I joined Birmingham where I had Dave Watson for five years. He's one of the best and I knew how important that was for me.

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.

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.

England is really important to me, and the only way I can stay in there is by playing well.

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

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.

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.
