“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 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.”

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

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

“I'm massively passionate about playing for my country.”

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

“I would have liked to have played more but injuries are part and parcel of football and you've got to shoulder it, got to take it on and get on with it.”

“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.”

“If you get a career-threatening injury your career is done and you need something to fall back on. But if it wasn't for football I would have played rugby, if it wasn't rugby it would have been basketball and I would have just gone through all the sports.”

“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.”

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

“I've played for England Under-21s, in the Under-20 World Cup and I've been part of the play-offs in the Championship. But in terms of helping my career and getting me ready, going to Cheltenham Town was a massive experience.”

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

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