Given ready for Russia test

Shay Given will rekindle memories of one of the proudest moments of his international career when he runs out against Russia on Friday evening.

The 34-year-old Republic of Ireland goalkeeper made his debut for his country in a friendly against the Russians at Lansdowne Road in March 1996, and the fact that his side lost 2-0 and had Roy Keane sent off could not spoil his big day.
