At his peak shay is one of the premier leagues finest goalies ever
For some reason the scousers hate him. They used to call him "Hollywood" and reckoned he looked great at shot stopping and making the odd brilliant save, but the rest of his game wasn't up to much. Rags didn't like him either. Nothing like the hate they have for Joe though.
Tbf, Shay used to get a fair bit of stick on here because he wouldn't come for crosses and always relied on his reflexes instead of trying to command his area. Once he got a little older and his reflexes started slowing down, his game dipped markedly. Great keeper, but a level below Schmeichel, Seaman etc.
