The collision was purely accidental, but Given admitted he was aware of exactly who was bearing down on him as he was called upon to deal with an injury-time ball into the box.

"What happened to me at Upton Park a couple of seasons ago is what happens in football. You get challenges in football all the time.
"I have to say, I don't think that Marlon Harewood tried to puncture my bowel. It was just one of those things."
