Roy Keane

Probably Seb - not scrolling through 700 pages to check - but did like this in an article by Sunday Times writer David Walsh today, remembering a relatively recent conversation with Keane in November:

"He’s not arrogant, nor modest. He thought if he was somebody else scrutinising his CV he would wonder, “Why doesn’t that guy get another opportunity?” I wondered if there was a level of club beneath which he wouldn’t go? It didn’t work like that, he said. He was hoping to get another chance with a Premier League or a club close to the top of the Championship but then it wasn’t as cut and dried as that.

What did he mean? It would depend upon the club, he said. And then he brought up Sunderland. The point was that if by some freak of disastrous results, Sunderland lost their place in the Football League and he was asked to become their manager, he would seriously consider the offer. Even if they were non-League, Sunderland, he said, were a club with a fine history, a great stadium, a big and passionate following. What is more, during his 2½ seasons at the club Keane felt he belonged. He liked the people at the club and felt the fans were fair to him. Hardworking people, he said, who liked footballers who worked hard."

Tell you what, that could be completely fabricated and I wouldn’t care. Gave me goosebumps reading that.

Mate I’m serious about being a multi-millionaire and retiring to a life of luxury. Unfortunately I’m not in control of giving myself that opportunity.
