  • given is better than all the goalkeepers of today players like casilas will struggle to go as long and be so good as this man has done. thumbs up if you agree

  • ah.. took a Real Sociedad keeper error to point me here. As a newcastle fan i might be abit biased but Given to me is one of the EPL best keepers. Extremely consistent. He might be poor in claiming crosses and lacking command in the box prob because of his small stature. But he make it up with his excellent shot stopping skills and with a positioning sense and reflex 2nd to non.

  • @aznwokbox Even Cech is overrated

  • @mccoolboii Go back and look at clips from 2005-2010, i dont think he is overrated :)

  • He's the only reason I stuck with goalkeeping my entire soccer career. A true inspiration.

  • Great Goalkeeping

  • The man is just class - whos buffon and cas :) .

  • @tinywhatyouwant spain and italy goalkeepers. They're supposed to be rated as the ''best'' in the world

  • @goungoun2 they are the 2 best keepers in the world m8 - but Given is in the top 2 for the prem league easy with Renia.

  • @tinywhatyouwant You must be kidding me, Reina is far away from the best goalkeeper in premier league this season. Clearly Michel Vorm is the best so far.

  • @tinywhatyouwant or cas and akinfeev?

  • WOW, those 2 free kick stops he had from Nasri that were going right to the top corner and he climbed all the way up that incredible goalkeeping!

  • Nice tribute to former NUFC goalkeeper...

  • Respond to this video...

  • Hope he has a good spell with villa now, he played brilliantly against chelsea in their pre season

  • amazing goalkeeper...

  • absolutely amazing keeper, and hes just signed for The Mighty Villa Boys!! :0D

  • What a save from Kompany's bullet shot... Cant think of many that would catch it and hold onto it.

  • Man U sign this man right now!

  • Man City are such a bunch of wankers lettin a keeper of this calibre just go to waste and for Joe Hart ffs!

  • @dbar1086 Personally i think football is for ginger losers and ageing virgins, but sir you do have a point, Man City are a bunch of no talent wankers; i think the whole city, including the club should be levelled with an atomic bomb. i do not know who Joe Hart is, but i trust your assessment when you cast doubts on his abilities as a goal keeper, you seem to posses an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of football . I offer you congratulations on your humorous comment and look forward to the witty

  • @MrBackdoorable then why aRE U on a football video u fucking sad prick

    

  • @dbar1086 as i was saying i look forward to the witty exchange that is sure to follow. Good bye

  • @MrBackdoorable you sir are a troll of the highest order, in fact it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if you were the type of person who would go and create a 2nd YouTube account just to try get a laugh outta winding people up. God your life must be so empty, and as for criticising "ageing virgins and ginger losers" i suggest, sir, that you take a long hard look in the mirror. If you can reach one.

  • @MMAC0RE for his size ?! he is 6"2 .. and is one of the best in the world

  • Joe Hart made 6 accounts to dislike this video

  • @MMAC0RE well and why not?

  • Master Shay..

  • im a MAN U fan, but shay given is one of teh best goalkeepers ever

  • Thanks for 12 long hard years shay......

    number 1

  • great tribute,some footage there i ve never seen before .The man is class

  • @RossByrne96 arsenal would have been a good move for given. sczesney ( i try to avoid spelling that!) looks good but really should be given a few years to get together- i think he'll turn out a good premiership keeper but he'll make mistakes which could cost arsenal while he's learning. given on a two year contract would be a good move. but city won't sell to a rival, of course.

  • @RossByrne96 they're fairly equal in terms of shot stopping, but hart has far better aerial ability, command of his box, kicking and communication skills. he's the future and will be a top world keeper.

  • @RossByrne96 Hart is younger and a better player all round

  • hes not the best goalkeeper in the world but the goalkeeper with the best character

  • man city has been made into a money machine that will just use players and show them no loyalty. shay given was the best keeper in the world and still is the best keeper in the prem

  • He'll Be Back in January!

  • One of the greatest goalkeepers ever to play the soccer. He should be an inspiration to all young goalkeepers as Shay sets a good example whenever he is on the field and is a hero in everyones eyes. Great video.

  • he'd be an amazing addition to the reborn Newcastle as they're in the tops of EPL now. I'm not saying that Krul or Harper are bad keepers, but Shay is just top top class. I just wish he didn't ever play in Mansour Casino, but well, good luck for him wherever he is. 

  • hero!!!!!!!

  • amazing goalkeeper!

  • why is roony hugging him?

  • he'll come back to newcastle :)

  • @UnFoR1988 I hope this guy never returns. 

  • what a save on 3:31

    The shot was a real rocket and he saved it with such easiness, like he is playing against little children

    great goalkeeper indeed

  • gotta admire the effort he puts in, one of the best goalkeepers to ever walk on the pitch in my opinion. he's way underrated, he should be up there with casillas and cech. thumbs up if you agree.

  • hopefully mancini make hart no.1

    and given comes to us

  • Wenger should get him Immediately

  • Great shot by Stephen Ireland and equally superb save by Shay Given...now, for the time being at least, Manchester City heroes...

  • One of the best keepers the grace the Premier League.

  • amazing tribute

  • getting rid of him and milner are the worst desicions newcastle have made

  • if only he was born in england, only then we would have atually won the world cup

  • given is a two faced wanker. hope he fails at man city the money taking wanker

  • @mfraser1975

    How is he a money grabbing wanker? He gave a small club 11 years when he could have moved to a big team if he chose to do so, he deserves a chance at success with a big club.

  • @jonconlon Good point except I wouldn't call NUFC a small club...ever. They are anything but small.

  • @yourswiththestars

    Ah they're nothing special in fairness, haven't won the top domestic league since 1927, FA Cup since the 1950's and have never won a Champions League.

  • Comment removed

  • hope this man come to arsenal instead of the clown almunia

  • rooney starts shaking him in anger lol

  • Lol liverpool must hate given, lmfao

  • Shay given we miss you here at Newcastle, i like Harper but he just ain't good enough for the premier league.

  • @KOkingnufc07 harper's a great shot stopper but he's not commandin enough

  • shay given is the best ..i want to be ireland keeper , i live in berlin and im one of the 4 best goalkeepers in my year(97)

  • fucking class

  • shay came 2 my high school today

  • The big man will be back soon

  • Shay the best when it comes to goalkeepers! shame he wont get another world cup :(

  • @joeharklad2008 He will get another world cup for sure

  • Newcastle is going to need a top quality keeper like Given if they want to stay safe in the EPL next season, steve harper just isn't gona get them to where they need to be

  • How name is that song?

  • name of song?

  • Given is the absolute best. The only reason he wasn't famous or called best by critics and so on was because he was in a small club. If he was like Casillas, Buffon or Julio Cesar, inside a big club where everyone pays attention to, he could've easily been the best among all.

  • :( hope harps can manage all season in the prem

  • the best keeper in the world 2 bad he had 2 go 2 man city because he was amazing

  • one of the best keepers this country has ever seen (safc fan) he was amazing in the loan spell he had with us probably newcastles best player for the 12 years he was there and thats not a dig at the likes of shearer etc....

  • shay the legend!!!! you are my idol!!!

  • I still remember the match liverpool against newcastle, if it wasn't for given, Liverpoool would have score more goals than just 5.

  • @Jimmyoneleg y? he did so gd for us..

  • i just thought it was quite shit of him to fuck us off tbh

  • @Jimmyoneleg You spend 12 years gettin' ass raped thx to a shitty defence and see how long you stick around. Man City are headed for bigger and better things than Newcastle ever could have, he paid his dues to the Toon.

  • @Fawkon Hey Fawkon....a fan from overseas wants to tell you you have no class whatsoever. You disrespect first of all yourself with your comments, but above all Shay Given - one of the best keepers in history. He spent 12 years with world class Newcastle United and he deserves your respect, no matter your team loyalty.

  • @yourswiththestars You're an idiot... "he paid his dues to the Toon." He has my respect, you on the other hand have not ;)

  • he is one of the best keepers of all time. for newcastle, for ireland, and now for city he has been amazin.

  • @fitzyjr couldnt have better said it my seld NUFC 4 life

  • what do you know about soccer? he's prob the best goalkeeper to grace the prem if not the world

  • @nuttynatasha123 ur mom is shit he owns you

  • @nuttynatasha123

    your clearly an idiot with no knowledge of soccer

  • you shut the fuck up, you know nothing fuckface

  • he is the only goalie i have seen who is more concerned about players being offside, than actually making saves.

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkk given quem e esse vcs ingleses se humilham por causa de um goleiro ruim julio cesar the best of word

  • there is no better then this man he may not catch them all but he is a better goalkeeper then any, he still gets them away from the goal and thats wat counts LEGEND

  • He's good, but he doesn't really catch any ball, he just pushes them away.

  • barton is scum

  • as newcastle fan shearer is always going to be seen as the hero but shay given is best player newcaslte have had in my life time even surpases shearer

  • This is quality. Best keeper in the world.

  • " He is always right on top of you ..the finest goalkeeper I have ever faced" ..Steven Gerard

  • I have been watching goalkeepers  ply their art for around 30 years and this man is without a fucking doubt the finest I have ever seen ...

  • Comment removed

  • after shearer, he was the toon fans favourite.

    best goalkeeper around at the minute. he's immense.

  • how cant you cant see that he tipps the ball away... idk how you dont see it change direct

  • never understood why Ferguson never went for him

  • @007wonton As Given gets older, he'll deteriorate faster than other keepers. His game has always been about reflexes and and his diving saves, shotstopping. As he becomes less agile, he'll become worse faster- because his distribution, commanding of area and punching are all very average

  • @Robotdrummerzzk your argument deteriorates the more I read on. The reason he is a great goalkeeper is because he's more agile, better reflexes and shot stopping than most of the goalkeepers in the world. That just guarantees him more longevity than the average goalkeeper.

  • @MrHopeTelevision Maybe so, but in 3/4 years time, he'll deteriorate a lot faster once he cannot get down as fast as he used to. And he isn't the tallest either, so he won't make up for it with command of area, or punching

  • @Robotdrummerzzk i have to disagree there mate but you could also argue that hieght isnt everything because given six foot but casillas is only five foot eleven and because there are only short periods of explosive movment you can say that you do not need to be as fit as an outfield player like van der sar must be near 40 and hes still on the go

  • @gerrygadrumsee Height isn't everything no, but Shay has never been very good at commanding his box or coming to collect balls from corners and crosses. Tim Krul at the moment is excellent in that department.

  • Given is the best goalkeeper in the world with Casillas.

  • fuckinh intro

  • if it wasn't given there no such thing called nufc he wears the kit with pride and dignity he makes saves that noo such keepper in the world could save them hes truely hes a world class keeper he deserves this nik nam (magnetic hands) NUFC and arsenal 4 life and given 4 life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • wat 4 u on about cassialls has been really dodgy lately his decision making has got poor

  • Like dropping crosses

  • i couldnt agree with you any more given is the best alongside oliver kahn nufc 4 life

  • -----butt yy all the people say buffon is better cuz buffon won some medals not just any medal indiviual medals for ex e best goalie in wc2006 etc. and don't forget that buffon got the credict for his prefomances and saves but, given did't cuz given is (under rated) ---- wish the best shhayy :)

  • continue -- but hes simply the best goalkeeper in the epl right now its not an opinion its a fact as the coach of Ireland said given is beter than buffon what he meant is that given is better than buffon with his preformance and fantastic saves

  • to be honest shayy given is one of a goalkeeper i think with his quick response 2 the ball and with his brillaint saves willmake himm the besst goallkeeeper in epl

  • One of the top 5 keepers in the world.

    It's a huge injustice that he will not play in South Africa!

    Love you Shay.

    - Liverpool fan.

  • Well done you will always be respected by the gerodies

  • my fave player

    City til i die

  • Brilliant tribute. Shay is amazing. Right up there with Keane, Brady, Giles as the best Ireland has produced. Doesn't get the credit he deserves.

  • man city's best buy!!

    worth every penny!!!

  • final half season at nufc

  • Best Keeper Ever .....

    Newcastle misses you .

  • amazin keeper. biggest mistake City made was lettin' Richard Dunne go.. the new defence is shocking

  • as a city fan....

    i wil defo say dat he's our best signing so far

  • Awesome keeper

  • Hopefully he can do it tonight for us

  • The Liverpool game was the straw that broke the camels back. I was there and it was totally an embarrassing match (I knew we'd go down after watching that). It was basically Liverpool v Shay Given!

    Fantastic goalkeeper, stupid Ashley sold him for hardley anything!

    Given= Best Goalkeeper in the world. Hope he wins something with Man City and goes to the World Cup with the ROI

  • sentimental. the liverpool match was a classic. great vid.

  • he had 4.5 stars out of 5 (91% skill) in fifa 2005

  • Funny when Rooney grabs him like... PLEASE JUST LET ONE IN :D

  • god, this video made me cry

    FUCK YOU MIKE ASHLEY!!!!!!!

  • what a goalkeeper , hes a true professional :)

  • what a keeper, most of them saves are point blank.

    so glad he's Irish, we'd be lost without him.

    LEGEND

  • amazing goalkeeper

    5/5

  • as a man city fan....

    i say he's d best eva signing we eva had!!! dis man has bin our brickwall since his first day

  • im a chelsea fan and i gota say i as well give credit to shay such a poor defence he had and managed to produce some amazing saves no other keeper could. i think he should of stayed at newcastle but had a poor def which is bad but manchester city has a good def and im sure hell still love newcastle the club he stayed 4 12 years

  • Great video... but ur wrong.. tht won't be his last season for newcastle... he'll be back cos he loves the toon too much

  • thanks shay for a great 12 years

  • Leeds fan, But shay given is my fave keeper in and outside the premiership. A True legend to football. Never heard him complain once. An a astonshing keeper.

  • his best game of his career was against liverpool an they still lost 5-1 at home. Also if it wasn't 4 him newcastle wud hav cum last in d league last season

  • Shay was such a legend for Newcastle! He is probably the most popular goalkeeper in the premiership, he's never complaining or whinging, just does his job (and well)!

    Hero and Legend.

  • makes me dead sad watchin this

  • Shay, Sorry we couldn't give u the thropy that u and the toon deserved

  • You spell trophy like that , not like that thropy like you spelt it. Suppose 50 years without one youre excused

  • you picked out the good bits I E every save he made

    A hull City fan

  • shay given is just amazing and no 1 can deniy it he is just so amazing

  • :'(  NUFC 4 LYF

  • I'm Pretty sure this song is by the national, but what song is it

  • this gets me every time NUFC 4life

  • Casillas/Given best keepers in the world.

  • shay givens is an effin rockstar!!!!!!

  • the chaps 5 foot 11. best keeper in the world. trappatoni said he was as good as buffon but i think hes better

  • only Casillas is a beter keeper than Given imo.. Buffon is still immense though!

  • he's 6 foot 2..has said it himself..

  • world class Shay if he has a good defence he could be number 1 without a doubt but now he at city hopefully he gets something

  • what a true legend he inspired many of his fans. love his game.

  • great video

  • Great video, best keeper in the pr£mI£rship! 6 million transfer fee what a fucking joke with the amound of cash city have been splashing around fuck off Mike Ashley!

  • if we did not get beat by fucking liverpool he would of still been here

  • It was that 5-1 thrashing at home to Liverpool that really killed Shay I think. I felt so sorry for him at the end, he stopped it from being like 20-1.

  • Agreed. Im a Newcastle fan and even though he left the guy deserves to win something. Never complained always gave his all for us even in the dark times. A true gent and hopefully he gets some silverware

  • Best reaction keeper in the world without doubt. so fukin glad he's Irish :D:D:D:D

  • Shay given made more world class saves in one match then cassilas and buffon do in a season

  • best keeper in the world and im a safc fan but the only bad thing was he was not tall

  • We wouldn't have gone down if we had kept him, that's for sure.

  • best keeper in the premiership....with out a doubt. world class.

  • At first I was sceptical about shay given when he signed for man city but he prooved himself so far with his performances.

  • This guy doesn't get enough credit for the saves and hard work in goal...
