PREMIERSHIP HEROES: Shay Given
Who better to kick off our "Premiership Heroes" feature than Shay Given? It would have been easy to go for Henry, Lampard etc but we felt that Shay is a world-class performer who deserves a bit more recognition.
Newcastle are not known for their defensive solidity but who knows where they would be without such a quality stopper? The Irishman has been one of the premierships top keepers for years now, and he seems to keep on getting better.
Newcastle fans will be hoping (preying!) that rumours linking the Newcastle stopper with a move to Arsenal prove wide of the mark.
