What height is Shay Given?

Pepe LeFrits · 2007-04-23 20:13:53

This has been bugging me. People keep saying Given is a short-arse, but I seem to recall Shay saying on telly once that people always say that to him, but that he's actually 6'2". Online, various sources have him as either 6'1" (187cm) or 6'0" (185cm), including Newcastle's website. Can anyone confirm for definite what it…

I think he was the smallest keeper in the premiership last season. He was on that Hector show and he said everyone he meets is suprised at how tall he is as he doesn't look it on telly.

(culchie accent) He's a mountain of a man, so he is.

Nah, I reckon 5'11" - 6'

Players do look very small on YV. I was amazed at how big Berger looked the first time I went over to Anfield.
