The sort of thing you never thought you needed to know, until you hear it

We thought that Wayne Rooney not having a shot at goal in the league in 2015 (still intact after last night by the way) would be our favourite stat of the week but Opta's Ryan Keaney has produced an absolute gem. If Shay Given plays for the new boss at Aston Villa, he will have played under 17 different managers in the Premier League, more than any other player. Keaney also tells us that right now, Given is tied with James Milner and Damien Duff on 16 different Premier League gaffers. Perhaps it is no suprise that all three men played for Newcastle at one stage or another. And, for all you completists out there, Keany has also named all 16 of Given's Premier League bosses managers to date. Marvellous
