More on Shay Given
Description from Wikipedia:
Séamus John James "Shay" Given (born 20 April 1976), is an Irish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Manchester City and the Republic of Ireland. After leaving Celtic in 1994 having been deemed surplus to requirements and after just 19 starts for the club, Given was part of the Sunderland team who won the Football League First Division title in 1995–96, while on loan from Blackburn Rovers.
He was signed by Newcastle United in 1997, and it was there that he began competing to be a first-choice Premier League goalkeeper. Given was part of the teams who came runners-up in the 1998 and 1999 FA Cup campaigns, and was named in the Premier League Team of the Season for 2001–02 and 2005–06. He has played in the Champions League and UEFA Cup with Newcastle, and was involved in the club's title challenge in 2001–02. Although he submitted a transfer request during the 2000–01 campaign after losing his position in the starting lineup, it was denied, and Given went on to regain his place. On 1 February 2009, Given transferred to Manchester City for an undisclosed fee reported to be around £5.9 million.
