GIF: Shay Given caught… eh, we’re not sure what he’s doing here

Shay Given pulled off an immaculate video bomb during Aston Villa’s FA Cup triumph over Liverpool on Sunday.

The Donegal shot-stopper played a starring role in hands down, the greatest football GIF of the weekend.

Given, who celebrates his 39th birthday today, was caught on camera doing a bizarre stretching routine with the football after Ashley Westwood was receiving some treatment during the Villains’ FA Cup semi final win.

Villa, inspired by sensational performances from Fabian Delph and Jack Grealish, went on to book their place in the final against Arsenal, with a 2-1 victory over the Reds.

After watching this, we’re seriously considering starting a campaign to get Irish keeper to legally change his name to Shay GIFen.
