Praise for Randolph

Republic of Ireland U21 boss Don Given has revealed he rates Darren Randolph as possibly the next great Irish goalkeeper, reveals Charlton's official E mail Bulletin.

The 20-year-old Addicks stopper was in top form as Ireland beat Sweden 3-2 in a friendly in Uppsala on Friday night, making some crucial saves, particularly in the first half.

Givens said: 'He is very laid back and takes everything in his stride. We'd have been 4-1 down at half-time if he hadn't been at his best against Sweden. The Swedes probably would have been choked to create that many chances and not scored, but Darren was very impressive.'

'I feel he has the potential to be the best Irish goalkeeper we've seen in years.'
