Cascarino: Given should ‘check his facts’ about my Irishness

“I played with Shay Given for Ireland for 3 ½ years. He never once questioned my Irishness then, so I am surprised he’s done so now.”

Tony Cascarino has reprimanded former Ireland team-mate Shay Given for casting aspersions on his Irishness and affiliation to the country.

Given was questioned in the run-up the FA Cup final about the situation with Jack Grealish, the Aston Villa teenager who has yet to decide whether to play for Ireland or England.
