Jack Butland (born 10 March 1993) is an English footballer who plays for Birmingham City. A goalkeeper, Butland has represented England at all levels up to the under-21 team, and was called into the Euro 2012 squad to replace the injured John Ruddy. He made his debut in the Football League in September 2011 while on loan to League Two club Cheltenham Town.

Butland was born in Bristol. After playing for Clevedon United and the Bristol-based Jamie Shore Academy, he joined Birmingham City as a schoolboy in 2007, and then, after leaving Clevedon Community School in 2009, began a two-year scholarship in the club's youth academy. While still aged 16, Butland made his reserve team debut, and signed his first professional contract, of two-and-a-half years, as soon as he turned 17 in March 2010. Named Birmingham City's Young Player of the Year at the end of the 2009–10 season, his progress was interrupted in October 2010 by a broken hand requiring surgery. By the following April he had recovered well enough to be given a first-team squad number before the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers as cover, in case Ben Foster's injury or Colin Doyle's illness prevented either from taking part in the match.

Jason John Lowe (born 2 September 1991) is an English footballer who plays for Blackburn Rovers. Lowe was raised in Leigh and is a keen supporter of Leigh Centurions rugby league club, using his Twitter account on several occasions to voice his support for the Centurions. Lowe is primarily a midfielder but can also play at right back. He made his senior debut on 8 January 2011 in the FA Cup and his Premier League debut on 15 January 2011. He captained England U-20 at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup and made his U-21 debut on 10 October 2011.

Lowe joined the Academy of Blackburn Rovers when he was 12 and had progressed to the Reserves when he signed his first professional contract with Blackburn on 4 September 2009. On 8 January 2011, Lowe made his senior debut for Blackburn in the 1–0 win over QPR in the FA Cup. On 15 January 2011, he made his Premier League debut, as a 24th minute substitute for the injured David Dunn, in the 2–0 loss to Chelsea. He was set to join Aberdeen on loan in January 2011 before the deal fell through due to injuries in the Blackburn first team.
