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.

Comment #44I think it is Brooks in the middle and he is letting them play but making the good call when they push it a bit too far….well done so far

Comment #45The Liverpool press worked there but Villa got away with it.
I’m not sure Liverpool will sustain the press, we’ll see.

Comment #49Klopp is going to have a meltdown for the ages if Liverpool do not win this one.
Should be pay-per-view worthy.

Comment #52If he’s banned he shouldn’t be allowed into the dressing room, that’s bs he’s actually allowed down.

Comment #55LiVARpool need to score 2 to keep to catch us, a draw is not good enough as our goal difference is plus 7 as it stands

Comment #63he’s allowed in the dressing room???? I understand it is a “touchline” ban but that is so you can’t have direct contact with your players and coaches. Being the seats above with two-way communication is bad enough if you ask me.

Comment #69can you image the crowd and players going into the last home match not being nervous and just being able to put on a show for the home finale. Will be good either way but I think a festive atmosphere to start vs a nervous one throughout would be great.

Comment #70Let’s hope Villa don’t decide to soak up pressure throughout the second half.
We are 45 minutes away from the Champions League.

Comment #72Liverpool hoyed everything at Villa in the last 10 mins. Villa needed half time to regroup.
Hopefully they will get another goal as I think Liverpool will score.
Villa lost control on the 30 minute mark. They were looking cosy up till then
