Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given says his great reputation counts for little unless he's winning trophies.

He told the Sunday Times: "I don't think adulation amounts to very much unless you've got trophies. You look at the great keepers through the years, [Ray] Clemence and Peter Schmeichel, they're remembered for what they won in their lives as much as anything else.

"I'd hate to look back on my career and have won nothing. I want people to say, 'He was a good goalkeeper - and he won some silverware'."
