Shay "Double" At Awards

Last updated : 27 September 2006 By Footy Mad - Editor

The Toon goalkeeper picked up two awards, while Charles N'Zogbia and ex-United skipper Alan Shearer also picked up awards.

Given was voted North-East Player of the Year, no surprise there then, and he also was given a "gong" for Save Of The Year.

N'Zogbia was Young Player Of The Year, while Shearer was awarded the 2006 "Recognition Award".

Glenn Roeder and Steve Harper accepted the trophies on behalf of Given, who obviously couldn't attend. And Shearer had a dig at TV pundits when asked how his new TV job was going: "I've learnt from you lot over the years ... how NOT to do it!"
