Shay Given Is Crowdsourcing His Autobiography Title And The Responses Are Outstanding

Saturday's Game 4 Grenfell charity match was a great occasion for a great cause as footballers and celebrities united to raise funds after such an unfortunate event.

Some big names volunteered and we even saw Jose Mourinho playing as a goalkeeper, but there were some actual professional goalies on hand including our own Shay Given.

The former Newcastle and Man City goalkeeper snapped a tunnel selfie with Belfast native Jamie Dornan, actor of '50 Shades of Grey' fame, and when posting it to social media he jokingly suggested that he's considering making the title of his autobiography a play on the title of that film.

He also asked for other suggestions from his followers, and some of the proposed titles gave us a good chuckle.

It's been a while since we've had a good autobiography from a retired Ireland international, and we're really looking forward to Shay Given's story, especially if it's titled as one of these...

Even Alan Shearer got involved.

'Donegal Catch' is by far our favourite in the office, although it may be lost on the UK market.

As for the Shearer comment, Shay got his own back with interest:

It would be rude if we didn't suggest a few ourselves, so how about:

-Eat, Shay, Love.
-Given A Chance, Gave It A Lash
-Never Shay Never

Awful, we agree, but we'd love to hear some more suggestions and hopefully the book isn't too far away from release as we are genuinely looking forward to it.

Of course, he could have just been having a laugh and he's not actually going to call his book any of these things, but when Robbie Fowler asked Twitter for titles on behalf of Jason McAteer for his book, one of the tweets ended up actually being the published title:

So you never know.
