    Here's a tale to warm the cockles of your heart. Jack Butland is not just a top goalkeeper...he's also a generous guy too.

    The Stoke City stopper has donated £5,000 to Great Britain's women's deaf football team to help them attend June's Deaf World Cup in Italy.

    "I've learnt a lot from major tournaments, experiences I'll never forget," he wrote on Twitter. "I'd love for you to experience the same!"

    England internationals Lucy Bronze, Jade Moore, Jo Potter and Fran Kirby have also supported the appeal, along with Wales international Jess Fishlock. The team's campaign will cost £20,000.
