After a lot of thought and consideration, I have made the most difficult decision to retire from international football. It's been a great honour and privilege to play and on occasion captain the team. I shall remain a huge fan of the team as I have been all my life and I wish them every success for the future.I wish to thank all the players,managers,staff & most importantly the most wonderful fans in the world. Finally I would like to thank my wife Jane,my 2 amazing kids and my entire family for their unwavering support over the 16 years & 125 caps Edited by tribalarmy - 13 Aug 2012 at 7:00pm |

Just seen it on twitter myself. Absolutely gutted to hear the news. What a servant he has been down through the years. Complete legend.

From FAI FACEBOOK
BREAKING NEWS: Shay Given has just announced his international retirement. Speaking today Shay said, 'This has been an extremely difficult decision for me to make. I have dedicated 16 years of my life to my country, and I have a great affinity with Giovanni Trapattoni’s squad. I’d like to thank the manager for his support during my time with the team. I will continue to be Ireland’s biggest fan, and wish the lads well as they embark upon their new campaign

Thanks for the memories Shay
 Had a feeling before the Euros he'd be one of the players who would probably retire at the end of them. Westwood a more than capable successor just needs to get a move to a club where he'll get more 1st team time

What a player. Had a feeling he'd go. IMO still had at least 2 years left in him as number 1.
Won't be forgotten and may well be sorely missed in this coming campaign. But he doesn't owe us anything. A few of the players picked in the current squad could learn a lot from his passion and desire to represent their country.

Another one who should get some sort of a farewell game. Would be sad to think his last appearance in his Ireland Jersey was the Italy game at the Euros'
