Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given has compared Vincent Kompany to a politician and claimed he was a better captain than many top captains ahead of Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Burnley.
This weekend will no doubt be full of emotion for Kompany as the 36-year-old returns to the Etihad Stadium as a manager for the very first time. City's legendary captain enjoyed incredible success during his time with the Blues winning the Premier League and League Cup on four occasions each and the FA Cup twice.
But, as Burnley boss, Kompany will be plotting what could be the upset of the round. Ahead of his return to the Etihad, his former teammate Given told LeoVegas that the Belgian's captaincy approach stands him above legendary leaders including Keane and Vieira.
