Stephen Alan Harper (born 14 March 1975) is known as 'the most patient man in football' after sitting on the Newcastle United bench for 16 years during which time he made numerous abortive attempts to kill Shay Given. In 1993, Newcastle signed Harper from Seaham Red Star - the County Durham-based feeder club to Red Star Belgrade. Although a decent enough 'keeper with a pleasant demeanour, Harper would play second fiddle to trouser-wearing Czech Pavel Srnicek, Shaka Hislop and Shay Given for the next 16 years.

  • Stephen Alan Harper (born 14 March 1975) is known as 'the most patient man in football' after sitting on the Newcastle United bench for 16 years during which time he made numerous abortive attempts to kill Shay Given. In 1993, Newcastle signed Harper from Seaham Red Star - the County Durham-based feeder club to Red Star Belgrade. Although a decent enough 'keeper with a pleasant demeanour, Harper would play second fiddle to trouser-wearing Czech Pavel Srnicek, Shaka Hislop and Shay Given for the next 16 years. During his long, long spell on the St James' Park sidelines, Harper had several glimmers of hope. Under Ruud Gullit, he seemed to have deposed Irish international Given, but more or less everything Gullit did was wrong and his departure sent Harper back to square one. Whenever Given picked up injuries, Harper deputised ably. But as soon as the first-choice 'keeper was back, Harper would return to the bench.
