Shay Given has unreservedly apologised for using the term "Holocaust" to describe Wilfried Nancy's brief tenure as Celtic manager on BBC's Final Score. Given, a former Premier League goalkeeper, admitted he did not fully understand the meaning of the word and will never use it again. He is donating his fee from the show to the Holocaust Educational Trust. Wilfried Nancy was sacked after just 33 days and eight games as Celtic manager, following a string of losses. The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews by Nazi Germany during World War Two.
