I sure talking about Given has already came up on here so sorry it has again but still.

Surely Given is one of city's best ever goalkeepers, he's quick, brave a great leader and just great at what he does. He's kept us in so many games this and last season most rescent being Brum.

One of the biggest points you should know..Shay Given cost only £8mill for a start for a top class keeper thats cheap and also lesscot was what £24mill...that 3x more than Shay and he is mot 3x better than Shay ..no offence to Lesscot.

Sure most of you will come and say Given is good but he not our best keeper ever..well just to say i'm 17 and the keepers i'v grown up watching for city as been:

Weaver - the keeper i seen the most of my years of watching city
Nash - for some reason i thought he was the best keeper ever when i was a kid
Issakson - wasnt a good keeper, came to city cause sven
Peter Schmeichel- woz great keeper but we had him at end
David Seaman - overated
Hart and K Schmeichel - young keepers were ok

So thats why i think Givens best keeper he's underrated in my view and defo one of the top 10 if not 5 best keepers in the world!

Thank you for reading

..oh and only other keeper i know is ofcource bert trautmann but i never seen him play just heard about him brecking his neck and still played..wouldnt see that in this day and age.


ok after reading some comments i guess giving him the title best ever was a lil soon but ok you have to agree shot stopper there aint no one better in the prem and maybe the football world at the moment!
 
He's still a fair way to go to beat Big Bert (I'm not old enough to have seen him but my Dad raved about him and that's good enough for me...), but definitely the best since... IMO
 
Regardless of what lescott cost, you cant compare a defender with a 'keeper in any way.


that said, given is right up there with th best we have ever had.
 
If he came for crosses he'd be the complete goalkeeper. I don't think he commands the area well enough to be our best ever.
