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 #124There’s almost no counter attack available for Villa, Novo. It’s like Liverpool are playing with 15 men.

Comment #125One thing we can predict….there will be 10 minutes of injury time if it’s still 1-0 or tied.

Comment #126McGinn, you might want to maintain some possession instead of taking terrible shots like that.

Comment #129Villa cannot get any foothold in the match.
It’s crazy when you consider how comfortable they were in the first 30 mins.

Comment #137Dr. Gloom, we know it’s going to be a lot. They got 7 minutes in the first half. They’ll get 10 in the second half.
