Celtic were initially alerted to Given's potential during a pre-season tour of Ireland in the early 1990s and with fellow Irishman Liam Brady as manager as well as a rich history of having signed and nurtured Irish players over the years, Shay felt comfortable with a move to Parkhead.
Shay's father had predicted his laddie would play for Ireland before he was 21 and true enough, his son did just that when Mick McCarthy handed the rising star a full debut against Russia at Lansdowne Road back in 1996.
Not much is known about Shay Given the man, but what we do know is that he is married with kids, is very much a private family man dedicated to his profession and is known as a gentleman, always eager to sign autographs and give up his leisure time to good causes.

 Shay Given
Sharing the goalkeeping duties with Steve Harper, Newcastle’s Shay Given started fewer than half of the Magpies’ matches in the 1999-2000 season, but he did finish the campaign as Bobby Robson’s first choice for the Toon Army’s number one spot.
Newcastle did concede at a rate of just over a strike per game when Given was between the sticks and the 24-year-old would want to improve the fact that he is beaten by 33% of shots on the Magpies’ goal.
But a run in the team at the start of the 2000-01 season could be enough to prove to Robson that Given is the undisputed number one in the Magpies’ goalkeeping pecking order.

Given had two loan spells at Swindon - the first coming midway through the relegation season of 1994/95, when he acted as backup to regular choice Fraser Digby, and the second at the beginning of the following season, when, with Digby injured, Given made five appearances.
Obviously talented, Swindon boss Steve McMahon tried to extend his loan spell, but Blackburn refused - eventually allowing Given to go to Sunderland on a longer loan deal, whilst Swindon brought in Blackburn's fourth choice keeper, Frank Talia.
Given went on to become the Republic of Ireland's first choice keeper, playing in the World Cup Finals in 2002.
