England hero Gordon Banks has backed Stoke City keeper Jack Butland to be England's new number one goalkeeper.

Current no 1 Joe Hart was heavily criticised for his performance at Euro2016 and Banks believes that Butland, who missed the tournament with injury, should replace the Manchester City shot-stopper.

The 1966 World Cup winner told The Sun: "That lad is a terrific goalkeeper and if I was the new manager, if I'd just got the job with England, I would put him in goal and I'd keep him in there.

"He's only 23. I'd keep in him in there to get him the experience of being used to playing there. Because this lad is a terrific goalkeeper, he really is."

"I've seen him play a little bit. I've heard that he practises quite a lot and works hard so you couldn't wish for a better goalkeeper than that."
