The inspiration behind many of Ireland's greatest days, Shay Given
earned 134 caps for his country and played in goal for Ireland for 20
years!
From the time he was a young boy playing football with his brothers in
the front garden of their Donegal home, Shay Given dreamed of football
glory. Leaving home at just sixteen to join Celtic, Shay had to face
many challenges on the road to becoming a world-class goalkeeper. He
went on to play for top clubs like Newcastle United and Manchester City,
played in the Champions League, and was the last line of defence for
Ireland at the World Cup and the European Championships. The
inspirational life story of the Republic of Ireland's longest-serving
player.
