Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakakitea e Shay Given te mamae e mau tonu ana i te whakatau a Ruud Gullit ki te whakakore i a ia mo te whiringa toa o te 1999 FA Cup i waenga i Newcastle me Manchester United. I tākaro te kaitiaki o te Reipa o Ireland i ngā rauna katoa o te oma o Newcastle, engari i tukuna ia ki a Steve Harper mō te whakaaturanga o Wembley, i toa 2-0 ki te taha o Sir Alex Ferguson. Kāore anō a Given kia kite i tētahi haerenga tino pai ki te taiwhanga ā-motu. I takaro ia i te 1998 FA Cup whakamutunga i ngaro ki a Arsenal, tae atu ki te hinganga haurua-mutunga ki a Chelsea i te 2000. Ka tīmata a Shay Given mō Aston Villa ki a Liverpool i te whakataetae haurua whakamutunga o te FA Cup i Wembley i te Ratapu. Kei a ia tetahi mētara toa FA Cup mai i te 2011 engari he whakakapi rereke mo te whakamutunga ki a Stoke me Joe Hart i te kupenga. Kei te whai ia ki te whakatikatika i a ia ki a Liverpool. "He mea pai ki te whai wāhi ki te wikitōria ki a Man City, engari ki te kore koe e tākaro, kāore i te ōrite te uara", i kī ia. Kāore au i te mōhio kei hea tōku mētara kia pono ai. Ko te <unk>1999 he iti noa iho i te mata. E whakaaro ana ahau ka taea e koe te tiki i runga i te reira? Ehara i te mea ngāwari. Kāore a Ruud Gullit i kōrero mai ki a au, i tono ia i te kaiako kaitiaki Terry Gennoe kia kī mai ki a au kāore au i te tākaro. Engari kāore e taea e koe te titiro ki muri i te whutupaoro, me titiro koe ki mua. E hiahia ana ahau ki te wikitōria i tētahi tohu me te hanga i tētahi hītori iti ki Aston Villa. Ko te 38-tau-tau kua takaro i nga whakataetae e wha o te Ipu FA a Villa i tenei waa, a kua puritia e ia nga pepa ma e rua. I whakapumautia e te kaiwhakahaere o Villa, e Tim Sherwood, ka tīmata a Given i te Rātapu, kotahi rā i mua i te 39 o nga tau o te Irishman. Kua whakapumautia e te Kaiwhakahaere Tim Sherwood ko Given, e 39 nei āpōpō, ka pupuri i tōna tūranga i te Ipu, kaua e whakakapia e te Nama 1 a Brad Guzan. Kua purei a Given i nga rauna katoa o te whakataetae, ka tiimata i raro i a Paul Lambert, me te whakaora i nga mea nui i te huarahi. I whakaae a Given i kite ia i nga tukinga o tenei rahi i paahitia e ia i a ia i te wa i utua ai ia ki Middlesbrough i te tau kua hipa, i a Lambert e maka ana i nga kaitakaro e hiahia ana ia ki te tango i te pire utu. I te marama o Paenga-whāwhā o te tau kua hipa, i te wāhi o ia e āwhina ana i te kaiwhakahaere o mua o Villa hei kaiako, i te wā i haere a Ian Culverhouse rāua ko Gary Karsa...
I whakawhiwhia a Shay ki te tiimata ki a Liverpool i te FA Cup i te ra i mua o tana 39 tau. I whakapumautia e Tim Sherwood te rongo i a ia e whakarite ana mō te whiringa toa o te Rātapu. Kua tākaro a Given i ngā whakataetae FA Cup e whā o Aston Villa i tēnei wā.
