Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given says Brad Guzan can be proud of his performances this season.
The two custodians enjoy a close working relationship on the training field and Given heaped praise on his team-mate for the way he conducted himself on and off the pitch.
"Brad's a great guy away from football, and around the changing room he's a really good character as well.
"When I got back in the team he wished me really well and he took it on the chin.
"Brad should be very proud of how he played for the club and I think he showed a lot of fans, not just Aston Villa, but a lot of fans around the country how good a goalkeeper he is.
"I think he can take great credit from his performances when he did play.""He's still in good form, to be fair," said the 35-year-old to Villa's website.
