Former Republic of Ireland legend Shay Given has revealed how former Man Utd boss Alex Ferguson never let him forget how he snubbed the Red Devils for Celtic.

The Lifford man reveals all in an absorbing interview with the BBC’s Holly Hamilton on the station’s Irish Football Icons.

As well as snubbing Fergie, Shay reveals how he has no regrets about leaving Celtic after they made him a new professional terms offer but for very little money.

Given, who went on to have huge success in the Premier league with Blackburn, Newcastle, Manchester City and Aston Villa, talks about his early days living in Donegal.

He also talks about the influence of his father, Seamus, and how his family would pack into their car and go and watch their dad playing in the Donegal League.
