Shay Given is one of Newcastle’s best ever goalkeepers, and he made a total of 462 appearances for Newcastle and 134 appearances for the Republic of Ireland.
And Shay has kept in tough with his former club and like many former players is a stauch supporter of the club.
Eddie Howe has often said he wants the former great players to keep in touch with the club, and he recently welcomed Shay back as he worked with Newcastle’s other goalkeepers in a goalkeeping master class.
You can feel to camaraderie at Benton as Shay gets to work.
And of course they make goalkeepers bigger and taller these days, with Shay at 6ft 1ins and Nick Pope at 6ft 7ins – must be those hamburgers with all the protein in them.
This is a very entertaining video and we hope you enjoy it.

How come you referred to Mig as as nonce during the game against Brighton man?

He missed a sitter.
Later referred to him as a beauty after he laid up Wils for the sealer.
Migs can be very frustrating because of his end product. You can never question his effort.

‘nonce’ though? Not a great word to describe one of our players, where I’m from it is anyway.
Just thought it was a strange one from you.
But yes, there’s nobody ahead of him in terms of effort. He’s coming back from a knock, and getting better game on game.

Comment #9sing in the corner… Agreed, no need in throwing a slur like that around at people, regardless of who they are, also I think anyone who uses it are generally hiding the fact that they’re probably one themselves, an insult for small minded simpletons.

Comment #11Villa with 69% possession against Liverpool. No Klopp on the sidelines either. Things could get interesting.

Comment #12Out of character though, that made it more surprising. Pat, you’ve always come across as canny.

Comment #13Villa are full of confidence. Knocking it around in tight spaces, refusing to be intimidated by the scousers..so far.
Keep it up.
