Trapattoni Shay Given the best in the World!
By Martin Sanders • Nov 19th, 2008 • Category: Keeper NewsRepublic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has taken the surprising step of touting Newcastle keeper Shay Given to clubs in Italy.
The veteran Italian coach recommended the Newcastle and Ireland No 1, named as stand-in captain for his country’s friendly with Poland tonight, to at least three top Serie A clubs.
Trapattoni said: ‘I speak to two or three big managers who are my friends and they ask if I think Given can play in Italy with them. ‘With his personality and quality, I feel he is as good as Gianluigi Buffon Shay is one of the best keepers in the world.’
