Team mates - Newcastle

Shay Given dishes the dirt on his Newcastle team mates, Micahel Owen, Steve Harper and Stephen Carr.

Each week Soccer AM asks players to dish the dirt on their team mates. This week it's the turn of Newcastle's superb shot stopper Shay Given. The Republic of Ireland international will have some explaining to do when he next sees fellow goalkeeper Steve Harper, after breaking the goalkeepers union to dish the dirt on his clothes. BEST TRAINER
The best trainer I would say is Stephen Carr. He trains like it's a match day and he's shouting and bawling people but he works his socks off as well and really gives his all. WORST TRAINER
Probably Michael Owen I'd say! He just come in and goes out there for whatever length of time he has to and then just goes straight home again, but then on a match day he turns it on, so it's ok. QUICKEST PLAYER
The quickest... I don't know Michael Owen would be up there, Charles N'Zogbia's pretty quick and even Claudio Cacapa at the back; he's pretty quick as well. THE JOKER
There's a few of them, but probably Nicky Butt. He's always doing something, hanging up people's dodgy gear up in the changing room or doing something to someone's car. He thinks he's a joker but he's not that funny really! BIGGEST MOANERBR> Either Stephen Carr or Nicky Butt. They're always complaining about something no matter what, even if everything played out perfectly they'll find something to complain about, but it's a bit of banter as well. MOST INTELLIGENT
Probably Steve Harper I'd say. If he specialised on Mastermind his specialist subject would be everything! He's pretty clever. LEAST INTELLIGENT
The least intelligent would have to be Steven Taylor I would think. He makes out that his bright but he's definitely a few slices short of a loaf of bread! WORST DRESS SENSE
There are definitely a few candidates for that! I would probably say Steve Harper is close to being the worst dresser and he won't thank me for saying that, but his gear needs a bit of work! BEST DANCERBR>I don't know, probably one of the young lads either Charles N'Zogbia or Shola Ameobi would be pretty special I would think. LONGEST IN THE SHOWER?BR>Possibly myself because I bring my gloves in and wash them in there as well so it takes a bit of time. But there's a few big boys in there! Hahahaha!
