Last season, our Socios at patreon.com/grahamhunter got an exclusive interview with Shay Given. For the first time, here’s the full episode.

In part two, Shay speaks about the loneliness of life between the sticks, who the world's best No1s are and why, and why we now live in such a golden era of goalkeeping. Former Newcastle stalwart Shay also describes his best-ever save, denying Kevin Phillips with his fingertips in a Tyne-Wear derby, and the ecstasy of narrowly clinching a World Cup place in front of 100,000 passionate Iranians.

If you would prefer not to wait 12 months to listen to these extra interviews, it’s time to become a Socio at patreon.com/grahamhunter
