Keano


Every day that passes is a day closer to Roy Keane being Sunderland manager again. Hope LJ gets the Ipswich job so we can BHH. This time go one better and take us from L1 to the Premiership.

“It takes a lot of effort and money, a lot of voluntary work, with people rolling their sleeves up and giving a helping hand,” he said. Roy Keane with Caitríona Twomey and Martin O'Reilly (12) from Farranree, at the official opening of the Cork Penny Dinners Caitríona Twomey Wellness Centre on James Street. Picture: Donal O'Keeffe.
 
Read a few books claiming he's a moody bugger but maybe that was when he was younger and drinking to excess.
Everything I see hear or read about him now makes me think he's just a very normal bloke who had a great talent that netted him an unbelievable career and was rightly rewarded financially for it.
I'd have him back tomorrow, absolute top class foot ball man.
 
Jonny makes an excellent point? It s bit like saying the pope is good at religion.

Everyone knows Roy Keane was a superb footballer - at Forest he was outstanding.

In my view his distribution was his biggest asset, finding other players, bringing them into the game and not losing possession.

He was a spirited leader on the pitch and had the right attitude.

He would be in my world 11. Of all time.

I'm pretty sure I remember Maradona saying he was one of, if not his toughest oppenents when Argentina played Ireland. Maradona won't have been at his peak and Keane will have been a young lad but it shows what a player he was and doesn't get the credit he deserves for it at times.
Probably started with Ferguson not including him in his all-time XI due to their fallout and people going off that.

I read it, the article says nothing that isn't said about Keane every week. He had high standards and was a top professional.

Find it a bit boring to be honest.

I think the point that Jonny Evans is making that with so many of Keane's teammates being such quality players Keanos ability as a footballer was underrated.
