Sky Sports News were embarrassed after conducting an interview with someone impersonating goalkeeper Shay Given.

The Stoke City stopper was a surprise caller to give his views on the news of England goalkeeper Jack Butland being ruled out of Euro 2016 due to injury.

It quickly became clear that the caller in question sounded nothing like Given and just gave the Republic of Ireland international’s name for a joke.


Sky did their best to end the interview quickly, but the damage was already done.
