Everyone loves Shaka Hislop - there is simply no way they couldn't. The 26-cap Trinidad and Tobago international has the broadest smile imaginable and just seems like a genuinely nice bloke. Between 1995 and 1998, the 6ft 6ins goalkeeper made 53 Premier League appearances for Kevin Keegan's Entertainers, competing with Pavel Srnicek for the No 1 shirt during that time. He kept 15 league clean sheets during his stay on Tyneside.
A colourful character who was loved in the North East, Hislop left for West Ham in 1998 and became their first-choice stopper - keeping an impressive 31 clean sheets in 105 league games during four years at the club. After moving to Portsmouth for three seasons, Hislop returned to Upton Park for a year and kept another five clean sheets in 16 league games, before heading to FC Dallas. Since retiring, Hislop has worked as a television pundit.
