Stoke City goalkeeper Shay Given has enjoyed a decorated career both in the Premier League and internationally.

The 40-year-old, who is still plying his trade in the top flight, has made well over 600 career appearances and is perhaps best known for his 11-year spell with Newcastle and then further stints at Manchester City, where he won the FA Cup in 2011, and then Aston Villa and Middlesbrough.

To date, Given has been capped 133 times by the Republic of Ireland.
