New Manchester City signing Shay Given is eyeing a lengthy stay at Eastlands.
At 32, Given is convinced his best years lay before him, and he looks to the example set by a predecessor of his at City, David James, as to how long he wants to be performing in top gear.
"David is still flying at 38 or 39, he and Brad Friedel probably had the best seasons of their career last year. That gives me encouragement because I feel I am relatively young for a goalkeeper, although I have been around for quite a while," he told City's website.
"I do feel that the best years are still ahead of me, there's always room for improvement and that's what I am aiming for."
