Skirge Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 O0 Cracking words from Shay O0 Shay Given is adamant he will stay with Newcastle for the rest of his career. Given moved to St James' Park from Blackburn in 1997 and has established himself as one the most consistent goalkeepers in the Premiership over the last decade. He has been linked with a move away from the North East but has four years left on his current contract and insists he has no intention of leaving. "I am only a few months away from being at Newcastle for 10 years and that feels great," he explained. "I've played over 400 games for the club and I don't think I'll ever move away, even when I've stopped playing. "There have been rumours linking me with some of the Premiership's biggest clubs but I just ignore that." Given hopes to be remembered as one of the best players in Newcastle's history but is aware he has to help the club capture the silverware that has so far eluded him. He said: "It would be special to be seen as a legend. The big icons are Alan Shearer and Jackie Milburn because they were both great strikers. "They are both legends, but I would be happy if I made Newcastle's all-time XI. "I would love to pick up silverware. I would hate to finish playing having never won anything for Newcastle. "We are still in the Uefa Cup and we have a great chance of winning that as we have a decent squad. "There has been talk of Werder Bremen and Sevilla, but I fancy us and Tottenham to be real contenders for this tournament." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Already a legend, if he stays for the rest of his career surely the guy should be celebrated in the same vain as Shearer, imo just as important to us over the last decade as the big man. Shay's Bar here we come! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shay's Bar here we come! I agree, no reason why he should not be honourd in the same way, well not another Bar but something. He has been outstanding for us.

Well i doubt it will be until he leaves the club or is in his final season. Cant see a Shay send off for about 4 years at least. I WILL be there through.
