Pardew confident Newcastle fans will welcome back Villa keeper Given
Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is confident of a good reception for Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given.
Given will be afforded a warm welcome on his first return to St James’ Park.
Pardew said: “Good for him. I don’t know Shay well but I met him last time we played them and he impressed me as a person.
“His record here was second to none. Our keeper is doing brilliantly here and if he can replicate what Shay did here he will have had a brilliant career.”
