Given buzzing after debut clean sheet

Former Republic of Ireland number one Shay Given was pleased to get the “buzz” back after ending 10 months on the sidelines with a clean sheet on his Middlesbrough debut against Bolton.

Given joined Middlesbrough on-loan from Aston Villa on Thursday having not played a competitive match since January.

“For me the most important thing was to get off to a good start, keep a clean sheet and get three points. I can’t really ask any more than that,” he said after the 1-0 win.
