Proving that he's not only a great 'keeper, but also a better person, Butland reached out to fellow shot-stopper Rob Elliot, who was injured during Ireland's draw with Slovakia on Wednesday.
With Elliot poised to join his colleague Butland on the sidelines for Euro 2016, the Stoke City player offered the Newcastle netminder a place to watch the matches come June.
