@@glengathousethink The irish Fa let Ireland down and Roy was standing up for Ireland. Are you someone who sits and talks or stands and fights ??? The greatest Irish men stood up for more and that's what Roy did so "feck off"
I've been a Man Utd fan for 40 years now. I've seen a lot of great players come and go. But Roy Keane was the only player that made me cry when he left the club.
@@User594gs57no chance, United fans aren't CR7 fans, we don't care what a player has done at another club we care about their impact at United and Keane had a much bigger impact at United than CR7 ever did, he's considered as United's greatest ever captain for a reason.
Agreed mate. There’s technical players around him to do the fancy stuff. Probably the best in the world at the time at doing the simple stuff and keeping the game ticking. His attitude towards the game was elite as well. Can’t really coach that, so that makes him one of a kind in my eyes. And I’m a Leicester fan who didn’t even like him in his playing days haha
@spiffydaily8855 Would you believe he used to get dogs abuse from Irish TV sports pundits for playing too many simple passes. I remember Johnny Giles and Frank Stapleton both being critical of him about this. They were always saying he wasn't world class because he wasn't making enough assists. I think they saw in Keane a rival to their own past greatness and wanted to put him down.
@@killbotone6210 I completely believe it. I suppose in a Man Utd team full of flashy gits, it’s probably easy to see Keane as the weak link in that regard? But imho, you have to appreciate him for what he’s there for. That said, was he ever really appreciated before he was gone? Lots of players seem to be labelled as world class these days, but it’s usually once they’re gone!
He had a god like piece of control v Bayern away. Schmeichel ,facing his own goal had to hoof a back pass straight up into the air ,so high that it floated enough to drop into the left wing where Keane was. Elber ,seeing this , started to press but immediately gave up with a slump when Keane dragged down the ball ,swiveled and successfuly passed forward ,in one motion. Ball didn't touch the ground, it's in the Roy Keane passing compilation.
It was blood, sweat and tears from Keano. I used to get pumped up just watching Keano coming onto the pitch.. focused, grit and determination writ all over his face… no time for niceties.
Probably the most underrated "footballer". People think he was hard, aggressive and a leader. He was all of those things but for those of us lucky enough to watch him for united for many years also realise this man could play. He could pass, he scored important goals, he put his body on the line. He was a much better player than a lot of people give him credit for. Would be my first name on any team sheet
United fan for 40 years here. He was a true allrounder. No weak sides to any part of the game. Even scored the odd header when he rarely had that sort of chance. When he, as everyone else, had the odd bad day, instead of giving his usual 100% he amped it up to 110 to compensate. You can almost see the steam from his nostrils today when he's been watching someone like Sancho or Rashford with sunken shoulders, slowly walking back while shaking their heads after losing the ball. Had Keano still been playing, a very different kind of shaking would have taken place and words which TH-cam comments does not approve of.
People talk about Roy Keane as an inspirational captain, a winner and a leader but I still think people underrate him as an actual player. Utd broke the transfer record to sign him from a relegated club for a reason, he was the best young central midfield player in the country at the time. He transitioned from an attacking midfielder to a box to box and then to a DM. He could play RM, CB and RB without any problems. He was exceptional.
Of all the players I've seen in my almost 50 years of supporting United, prime Keano is the player this current team could do with the most. Read the game well, positionally sound, strong defensively, very rarely gave the ball away, bossed the middle of the park, a true leader, determined, passionate, demanded 100% from everyone on the team, high energy, covered box to box, and popped up with a good number of goals and assists. In essence, everything this current team isn't.
@marktaylor5722 Thanks, I'm well aware that the game didn't start before PL, having watched it since the early '70s, but for me Keano still just edges Robbo (as much as I loved him) - though I'd happily have both in the current midfield.
As much as Keane is #1 on the teamsheet, current team is absolutely dying for any of Ruud, Rooney, Yorke, Ole, RvP, hell I'd take Forlan, just someone to stick it in the onion bag!
Roy Keane was a player that everyone who wasn't a Man U fan loved to hate and give stick to, but, given the choice, would've loved him to be in their team. Quality player. wish he had played for the Toon.
As a swede I was never ever worried when being drawn against England in the euros or world cup. But if Roy Keane was born in England you would probably have won euro 92, gone far in world cup in 94,win 96 and 2000. This is a good way to see what a difference a hard working Irishman will do for a team. If his name is Roy Keane you have arrived at the top of the mountain. As a Milan fan there I have somebody to compare this man to who are just as crazy. Gennaro Gattuso and Roy Keane, the two only world class tough guys that every team mate loves!
@kevinkelly8383 True!! As a Norwegian, that qualifier was magical for us. However the results could have been different Keane on the team if I'm gonna be honest. When that said, Graham Taylor aka "The Turnip" was the coach. His squads were interesting you could say, I'll never forget seing an injured Gazza in Oslo with bandage on his face. The days were the names were more important than fitness😂
@@ZolaMagic25 You are clueless, Gattuso was outstanding. The guy even won a World Cup in 2006. Won everything with AC Milan including 2 Champions League 2 Super Cups and a world club cup. Get off the internet you clueless 🤡.
Greatest United ever had.Its not unusually to have a player that gives it his all but keane got the best out of everyone he drove the team on like no other player could do.
As a Man United supporter, Keane is always the first name on the teamsheet for me. I remember around 1998-2002, if I saw that Keane was playing, I was sure we weren't going to lose that game, no matter who we played.
It's a shame they didn't win more in Europe. Clubs like Liverpool Forest Bayern and Ajax were lucky to be great during an era where it was easier to win the European cup, compared to today. I'm saying this because every club that won the European cup between 70-71 to 79-80 all successfully defended their title at least once. With a couple doing it twice
For me Keane is on the top 20 of all time. I am portuguese and a Man United and Benfica fan since i can remember. I remember and love alot of players that played there, but Keane and Scholes were on other level. A short skinny artist guy and a psico killer protecting him 😂 it was fun to watch . Great memories 😊 Great video, brought back very good memories. Thanks 👍
I'm Mancunian and have been a United and Benfica fan since the European Cup Final in 1968. I've lived in Alentejo since 2002. Almost every Portuguese friend I've got is a Benfiquista. Had some great nights in the village bar, watching Benfica and United on SportTV, Sagres in hand.
Roy Keane would never be out my team he was a leader abd led by example, box to box player, he could tackle, he could pass short or long and he did the dirty side of the game extremely well and had a goal in him too. He might not be everybody's cup of tea but I love his honesty and if somebody wasn't pulling their weight he'd be on them right away and he gave his everything for the club. The semi-final against Juventus in '99 when he got a yellow card that put him out of the Champions League final and to play how he did and got the team to the final despite knowing he was out typifies everything about his character and the player he was, he was an outright winner. He'll always be a legend to the United supporters and everyone he played with, Captain, Leader, Legend.
The most important player to have ever played in this country. Others may have had more ability but he had enough to be a true great because for him it was more his mentality and football intelligence that set him apart.
HI, I AM FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪 ROY DEFINITELY WAS A BRILLIANT PLAYER 👏 ,I WILL SAY HE WAS A HARD,MAN ON THE PITCH, ALSO HE BECAME THE MAN HE WAS BECAUSE HE HAD BRILLIANT PLAYERS AROUND HIM THAT MADE HIM THE PLAYER HE WAS,AND THEY DESERVE MORE FOR MAKING ROY THE PLAYER HE WAS BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND HIM,SO THANKS TO ALL THOSE LADS .THAT MADE MANCHESTER UNITED THE BRILLIANT TEAM THEY WERE. FABULOUS ALSO FABULOUS ALSO BRILLIANT. ❤🎉😢😮 THANKS.
@tevildo45 The greatest player the country has ever produced. The traitors were those who stuck by whilst a non Irish Manager kicked Keane out of our team.....disgrace
Roy Keane was all of this but also a baller. Great first touch, never lost possession easily or misplacing passes. Tackling master and also great decision making when in the box. Closest to the complete player imo
Amazing how all the best players of his era named him as the best including Gerrard and he was the leader of the greatest team, but he is not considered as the best in the media. If he had been English England would have won 2 major trophies and he would be seen as the greatest without question. Because he is Irish he is not. Every player has different traits and his traits were unique which elevated him above the rest. Without a doubt the best player in PL history.
Roy Keane is highly rated. Obviously English Media is going to talk about English players, specially since players like Stevie and Lampard are more recent. I am pretty sure the media of your country talks about your players and not Steven Gerrard.
If Keane was English playing in the England national team I believe they would have had two world cups. His leadership and will to win would have put them over the line.
Man utd had some great players over the years but Roy keane for me is the best player I've seen at utd never gave the ball away ever gave Zidane a lesson against juventes in the second leg champions league
@mayopower3372 Go and watch Keanes comments about playing Zidane. Also when you state Keane never gave the ball away - I have to ask, why are you lying?
@mayopower3372 Says the kid who states Keane never gave the ball away. Again, are you just lying? You kids today need to stop stating lies and stop using the word great too easily. And for the 3rd time - go listen to Keanes comments about how he struggled against Zidane.
Crazy to me that both Ole and Giggsy picked Keano not only in their "best ever" teams, but the absolute first name on the team sheet. He was made for Old Trafford the lad !
@ngc-fo5te He was definitely Utd most important player during the late 90s and early 00s. Beckham come close, Scholes comes close, Schmeichel comes close, but for me, he has to be the most important.
Whenever i see Roy Keane, you dont need to have a great talented nor skills to be a great player when you have the mentality and all you think is about Winning the game and if you are willing to give everything you got to Win it.
What an exceptional footballer! He was never afraid to stick to him principles and demanded the best from everyone be it on the pitch or the commentary box
I met Roys father Mossie once or twice in Canty's bar in Cork...eventhough I did not know him he always said hello..I could hear his conversations with friends and they were always interesting and funny. Now when I see Roy with Gary Neville and others it reminds me he is very like his father with regard to storytelling facial expressions humor etc.
Best leader ever ! He would have been the best at ANYTHING he chose to do.... joiner/selling fruit/running a business/mechanic.... A propper stand up example of a man !
Always had the team ahead of his own personal glory. You wouldn’t catch roy trying to lift the European cup with a full kit on despite not playing a second of the final.
1st game I went to in 1974, Old Trafford. Since that day I've never seen anybody as good as Keane. '99 in Juve, he dragged the team by rhe scruff in f the neck, even realising the Final was now impossible. True Great..
I think the emergence of Paul Scholes in the last ten years as an underrated player has made Keane criminally underrated. He was by far United's best midfielder until his final game in the shirt. Everyone talks about the 99 Champions League final and how we were terrified that Keane wasn't playing he was that important. But Scholes was out for that final too and it's not mentioned. Keane was top 5 in the ballon d'Or that year even though he missed the biggest game.
The biggest benefit other than him being a beast of a footballer and a fantastic leader he motivated the people around him he also got a good % extra out of everyone else around him and that is immeasurable
Its because of his leadership skills on and off the feild commands respect and effort highest standards all that and a great all round player i reckon there aren't many better captains at united ever
Talk about warrior, determination, fierce does him little service. His reading, passing, positional and the only player ever physically able to turn a match when things were going wrong were his greatest strengths
MYSELF I AM IRISH, AND FULL OF PRIDE FOR THE, ABSOLUTELY 💯 BRILLIANT 💯 👏 COMPLETED WORDS, FROM THE BEST 👌 PLAYERS IN THE WORLD 🌎. THANKS FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪. ❤🎉
I am lifelong Arsenal fan & obviously I witnessed the rivalry between my team & Utd including the spate with Patrick Viera but am not blind. Roy Keane was a midfield monster who earns the respect of everybody who knows the duty of a captain. It's a joke ti see Bruno wearing the armband: no disrespect to the Portuguese but Keane was peerless
If we do have a Roy Keane in our current team, we will never be hammered the way we did against Man City, Liverpool, or Arsenal. We will be fighting to win the league every seasons.
When Alan Shearer retired, Alan Hanson said he had had the greatest impact of any player in the premier league - after Roy Keane People forget he was bought as a fifteen goal a season box to box midfielder. Stuart Pearce said he was the best header of the ball he'd ever encountered. But United won everything with possession football - His Passes per game and pass completion ratio were astonishing. Had he been Spanish he'd have been called a genius.
United (my team) have had some great players, really great players, but I wonder whether their gradual slide into what to be honest is playing pretty ordinary football didn't begin when Fergie retired in 2013 but a little earlier, in 2005, when Roy Keane left 'by mutual consent'. From what I hear Fergie had some reason started to take against him - Roy's habit of always speaking his mind did not help, there was no side to Keane - and that was it. United lost a great player but more than that a great inspiration to the other players.
your a united fan but u dont know the story ? really? the team got pumped at boro and it was keanes turn to do the interview for MUTV afterwards,he threw all his teamates under the bus naming many of them,fergie got wind of it and stopped it being broadcast,he called a team meeting and the whole squad including keane watched the interview back,fergie and keane had a shouting match then everyone went home,fergie announced at training the next day that keane would never play for the club again,he soon left for celtic,nobody messes with sir alex
Maybe the greatest ever player. Doubt it? Right, what do youGreatest player ever for me. Doubt it? Right, what do you want when your team takes the park? To win. True box to box legend. There have been very few players in history who have been able to do that. Close to never responsible for a goal conceded. Close to never gave the ball away. Great passer. Brilliant tackler. Bossed the midfield. In the toughest of games he would always come through for you. Man of the match in he vast majority of games he played. Improved the performance/contribution of every player around him (not quantifiable what that gives you). Never allowed standards to slip. Best captain ever. Scored a huge number of goals for a midfielder (that was a box to box player so spent a lot of time in defense). Drive off the charts. Just would not accept defeat as a possible outcome. By far the main reason Utd won all those trophies they did during his time there. Away v Juve 2-0 down, Zidane and Davides against him English team not won in Italy for decades - produced one of the greatest performances ever.

Bit late to this party and definitely not a utd fan - although as a Londoner I guess I wouldn't be alone if i was lol - but gotta say Keane was immense. If I was picking all time premier league 11 he's first on the team sheet 🤷🏻

The greatest leader of a team ever in the Premier league, always demanded more, always gave 100%, never backed down
Roy Keane was all of this but also a baller. Great first touch, never lost possession easily or misplacing passes. Tackling master and also great decision making when in the box. Closest to the complete player imo
Add the boss Stevie G to that

Amazing how all the best players of his era named him as the best including Gerrard and he was the leader of the greatest team, but he is not considered as the best in the media. If he had been English England would have won 2 major trophies and he would be seen as the greatest without question. Because he is Irish he is not. Every player has different traits and his traits were unique which elevated him above the rest. Without a doubt the best player in PL history.
Roy Keane is highly rated. Obviously English Media is going to talk about English players, specially since players like Stevie and Lampard are more recent. I am pretty sure the media of your country talks about your players and not Steven Gerrard.
Part of makes him Roy Keane is the fact he is Irish though. You still make a decent point though.
Imagine what that man would be worth now??? Priceless
Over 25 million easily
If Keane was English playing in the England national team I believe they would have had two world cups. His leadership and will to win would have put them over the line.
Agree but Bryan Robson was the closest thing to him if he wasn’t injured so much for England
Nah not even with Messi 😂
There's no way, too many of our players were busy injuring each other in the prem league.
If Keane had played in the world cup for Ireland we might have won one too 😅. C'est la vie.
If England had more faith in Matt Le Tissier, you would have won a major trophy.
Man utd had some great players over the years but Roy keane for me is the best player I've seen at utd never gave the ball away ever gave Zidane a lesson against juventes in the second leg champions league
Stop exaggerating - Keane himself said he couldn't do a thing with Zidane.
@ngc-fo5te yeah only walk all over him in the semifinal that night how do you think they got through
@mayopower3372 Go and watch Keanes comments about playing Zidane.
Also when you state Keane never gave the ball away - I have to ask, why are you lying?
You haven't got a clue
@mayopower3372 Says the kid who states Keane never gave the ball away. Again, are you just lying?
You kids today need to stop stating lies and stop using the word great too easily.
And for the 3rd time - go listen to Keanes comments about how he struggled against Zidane.
Crazy to me that both Ole and Giggsy picked Keano not only in their "best ever" teams, but the absolute first name on the team sheet. He was made for Old Trafford the lad !
Legend...We love you kid 🇮🇪💪
One of the greatest players ever. Most important player in our most successful period
100% agree
@@footballuncontext1166You two need to think rationally.
@ngc-fo5te He was definitely Utd most important player during the late 90s and early 00s. Beckham come close, Scholes comes close, Schmeichel comes close, but for me, he has to be the most important.
@@ryanergo754 No mention of Giggs?
Keane was an amazing player
Whenever i see Roy Keane, you dont need to have a great talented nor skills to be a great player when you have the mentality and all you think is about Winning the game and if you are willing to give everything you got to Win it.
😊
Till this day, I adore, Respect and love Roy Keane. He is a true leader
What an exceptional footballer! He was never afraid to stick to him principles and demanded the best from everyone be it on the pitch or the commentary box
Roy Keane roomed with Denis Irwin. Both from Cork. Both were fantastic players too!
Roy Keane the Legend 👏❤
I met Roys father Mossie once or twice in Canty's bar in Cork...eventhough I did not know him he always said hello..I could hear his conversations with friends and they were always interesting and funny. Now when I see Roy with Gary Neville and others it reminds me he is very like his father with regard to storytelling facial expressions humor etc.
Best leader ever ! He would have been the best at ANYTHING he chose to do.... joiner/selling fruit/running a business/mechanic.... A propper stand up example of a man !
He wad almost invincible like Vieira
I've heard that story from Kammy before,but what a great way to finish that clip 😂
Great story........I don't know who chose the pictures to clip together but 13mins 42 secs is wild.
Brilliant video. I would choose Roy Keane all day long. No messing manager and takes no prisoners. Legend of a midfielder and passion over money 👍
United’s most important player & one of( if the greatest player) the greatest players in United golden erea
Always had the team ahead of his own personal glory. You wouldn’t catch roy trying to lift the European cup with a full kit on despite not playing a second of the final.
'Roy always kept you on your toes' I'm starting to think Scholesy is obsessed
Had NO idea how much of an Alpha Chad Roy Keane is. Knew he was a legend. But didn't know he was All Time with his leadership.
We need another video of this type with other legends of the game! Great video
Cheers!
@@footballuncontext1166could you do one on Tony Adams at all. He's a legend too
1st game I went to in 1974, Old Trafford. Since that day I've never seen anybody as good as Keane. '99 in Juve, he dragged the team by rhe scruff in f the neck, even realising the Final was now impossible. True Great..
Roy was standing behind the camera in all of these interviews 😂
There's not one player on the planet nowadays with half the passion and commitment to the game anymore.
I think the emergence of Paul Scholes in the last ten years as an underrated player has made Keane criminally underrated. He was by far United's best midfielder until his final game in the shirt. Everyone talks about the 99 Champions League final and how we were terrified that Keane wasn't playing he was that important. But Scholes was out for that final too and it's not mentioned. Keane was top 5 in the ballon d'Or that year even though he missed the biggest game.
Roy keane and zinnadine zidane in the centre will be devastating for any football team
Imagine if every club had a player like keane still, proper football man didnt care about money just winning
This day an age I dont think you'll find a player like him
Keane was a one off. There was no one like him back then either
Keane is warrior. If I could bring 1 player back it would be him!
Rooney would be a close 2nd to bring back but we need a Keane right now
The biggest benefit other than him being a beast of a footballer and a fantastic leader he motivated the people around him he also got a good % extra out of everyone else around him and that is immeasurable
Keane is the best prem player ever...proper legend 🙌
😂😂😂😂
He wad almost invincible like Vieira
Its because of his leadership skills on and off the feild commands respect and effort highest standards all that and a great all round player i reckon there aren't many better captains at united ever
Keane is actually the greatest Prem Midfielder. Biggest talisman in Utd most successful period
Kean + Cantona ......Perfect .......the benchmark for today!
Talk about warrior, determination, fierce does him little service. His reading, passing, positional and the only player ever physically able to turn a match when things were going wrong were his greatest strengths
MYSELF I AM IRISH, AND FULL OF PRIDE FOR THE, ABSOLUTELY 💯 BRILLIANT 💯 👏 COMPLETED WORDS, FROM THE BEST 👌 PLAYERS IN THE WORLD 🌎. THANKS FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪. ❤🎉
I am lifelong Arsenal fan & obviously I witnessed the rivalry between my team & Utd including the spate with Patrick Viera but am not blind.
Roy Keane was a midfield monster who earns the respect of everybody who knows the duty of a captain.
It's a joke ti see Bruno wearing the armband: no disrespect to the Portuguese but Keane was peerless
He is the name that first comes when i hear man united. Even now.
One of Ireland's best ever. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
100%, with up there with Robbie, McGrath and Given, but for me Keano’s the best Irish player ever.
@@footballuncontext1166 it's close, But I would go for Georgie Best though.

@@Humanshieldchorus00who the drunk
@@footballuncontext1166what age are you?
Never heard of Liam Brady, Johnny Giles, Ronnie Whelan, Paul McGrath?
Obviously all his teammates considered him a legend. Pity his manager threw him out when he didn’t need him anymore
That ruthlessness made Sir Alex one of the very best. Even Roy admitted it was time to go.
@@no.6259 I didn’t say he wasn’t one of the best. But he was definitely ruthless and Keane can’t stand his guts
Over 20 years on, and they still haven't replaced him.
If we do have a Roy Keane in our current team, we will never be hammered the way we did against Man City, Liverpool, or Arsenal. We will be fighting to win the league every seasons.
Arguably the greatest captain of all time in my opinion. the premier league’s dying for players to have is football iQ and focus.
When Alan Shearer retired, Alan Hanson said he had had the greatest impact of any player in the premier league - after Roy Keane
People forget he was bought as a fifteen goal a season box to box midfielder.
Stuart Pearce said he was the best header of the ball he'd ever encountered.
But United won everything with possession football - His Passes per game and pass completion ratio were astonishing. Had he been Spanish he'd have been called a genius.
United have never been the same since they lost him as captain
Kammy killed it with the last story 😂😂
The best part about Keane is that he empowered the team mentally to the their best.
United (my team) have had some great players, really great players, but I wonder whether their gradual slide into what to be honest is playing pretty ordinary football didn't begin when Fergie retired in 2013 but a little earlier, in 2005, when Roy Keane left 'by mutual consent'.
From what I hear Fergie had some reason started to take against him - Roy's habit of always speaking his mind did not help, there was no side to Keane - and that was it. United lost a great player but more than that a great inspiration to the other players.
your a united fan but u dont know the story ? really? the team got pumped at boro and it was keanes turn to do the interview for MUTV afterwards,he threw all his teamates under the bus naming many of them,fergie got wind of it and stopped it being broadcast,he called a team meeting and the whole squad including keane watched the interview back,fergie and keane had a shouting match then everyone went home,fergie announced at training the next day that keane would never play for the club again,he soon left for celtic,nobody messes with sir alex
That video was top class the story Chris Kamara was telling iam still laughing at 😂
Roy is the player, leader that all United players need to aspire being .........winner, he cares!
Amazing! A Legend for Football ! 👍😁
Rory was an engine. I kept everyone working hard because he worked hard.
In FIFA 04 I still remember Roy Keane had a special goal celebration. I’ve never seen him celebrate in that way in reality though.
At the end "I've got to tell you my Roy Keane story, have we got time?" ????"
We have always got time for a keano story 😂😂
Maybe the greatest ever player. Doubt it? Right, what do youGreatest player ever for me. Doubt it? Right, what do you want when your team takes the park? To win. True box to box legend. There have been very few players in history who have been able to do that. Close to never responsible for a goal conceded. Close to never gave the ball away. Great passer. Brilliant tackler. Bossed the midfield. In the toughest of games he would always come through for you. Man of the match in he vast majority of games he played. Improved the performance/contribution of every player around him (not quantifiable what that gives you). Never allowed standards to slip. Best captain ever. Scored a huge number of goals for a midfielder (that was a box to box player so spent a lot of time in defense). Drive off the charts. Just would not accept defeat as a possible outcome. By far the main reason Utd won all those trophies they did during his time there. Away v Juve 2-0 down, Zidane and Davides against him English team not won in Italy for decades - produced one of the greatest performances ever.

The best player ? Better than Pelé, Maradona, CR7, Messi ????
Stone roses 'hidden track' in the background...✊💙
Was wondering what that was - was that the one that was something like track 90 on the Second Coming?
Man utd needs to bring back Roy Keane as one of the backroom staff, just to instill standards into the current underperforming players
That Kammy story! I can see Roy’s smirk now 😂😂😂😂
Does anyone know from which documentary the first clip of ryan giggs is from?
My favourite captain 🙌🏽
Without Keane Man U never woukd have been as good 👍
"Stalker."
- D. Irwin
Roy Keane most underrated player ever the guy was up there with viera simple as that absolutely general of football
I dont know anyone who underrates Keane ; not anyone who knows football anyway
Cantona said Roy would be his team any day
Is that the Stone Roses song playing when some are been interviewed
I wish we had some men like Roy in the PL today.
Who is that @12:25?
In my opinion, the greatest player Man Utd ever had
Bit late to this party and definitely not a utd fan - although as a Londoner I guess I wouldn't be alone if i was lol - but gotta say Keane was immense.
If I was picking all time premier league 11 he's first on the team sheet 🤷🏻
In my 50 odd years following football he is the best captain I've ever seen and TBH it's not even close.
