Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira - Who's the better player? | BBC Sounds

I’m an Arsenal fan but have to say it’s criminal how underrated Keane has become since his retirement. There is this myth out there that he was just a hard man leader who was a defensive midfielder. The guy was an amazing player, box to box for most of his career which doesn’t seem to exist anymore. He completely controlled games and always seemed to make the right pass (forward passes). A lot of the time people who perpetrate the myth about Keane aren’t old enough to have seen him play.
Who underrates him? He's often cited as the best midfielder in Prem history, usually ahead of Vieira
@@kevinb9830 no, you might hear that every now and again but he is mostly drastically underrated. Keane was the best midfielder in Europe for long periods, let alone the premier League. No one dominated games like he did.
@@benitotommassi5820 Well yes, Vieira did. That's why their rivalry is always cited.
Keane was so underrated technically if he was English he would be held in a higher regard ,Keane over viera all day
@@_Snapper England would have probably won something too.
Keane got injured Sept 97 united were unbeaten had 12 point lead over arsenal lost league following season he was back they won treble
Says it all
Facts.
Think there was only 1 year in like 6 seasons where utd didn't win the league and that was the year Keane was injured. He also had a season, a SEASON , with a plus 90÷ pass rate!
@@benitotommassi5820 I mean, it's not "facts" at all. The distance between Arsenal and United is not going to be 12 points in ** September **. The distance between 1st and 20th is barely going to be 12 points at that early stage.
They were both good players . Same level . But if I had to take 1 it would Patrick vieria
@@yahyaelmi8435 viera was quality from about 97 to 03 ,Keane was quality from 92 to 03 .
Roy Keane led an Ireland side to World Cups. He dominated Portugal and Holland on the way to an unbeaten qualification to the World Cup. He scored more goals then Veira for club and country, he won more premier leagues. He was a much better performer in the cl. He dominated prime Zidane in Turin. He effectively won the war with big pat.
Viera probably technically better but Keane did more to make his team better and improve them overall. I also think Keane had more tenacity and desire to win. Not that Vieira didn't have a huge desire to win, he probed that with his medal haul, I just think Keane hated losing more.
Excellent comment sir. Keane hated losing more than anyone I've ever seen in any walk of life and that's what drove him on to win. It was probably that same attitude that restricted his managerial career, he couldn't accept that any player at any level was ok with losing. He definitely got the best out of himself as a player because of his strong mentality.
I`m not a united fan but Vieira played at keanes level for 4 maybe 5 years max....but keane saw him off until he retired. He also saw off everyone else he diced with in that position for the 5 years previous when Vieira was a young teen in france.....Keane was better hands down, he played against him one final time in Ireland against france in 2005 and bossed both Vieira AND Zidane in that game at 34 (Vieira was 29 ) and if you want to discuss his younger years he was a box to box explosion until his injury at 27. People can forget, but he was in the top 3 midfielders in the world for a few years and was the best in 99/00.....He was immense, absolutely immense
Roy Keane was in the EPL team of the year at the age of 21 playing for a team who finished dead last. I cannot imagine anyone doing that.
James ward prowse wasn't bad
Scott Parker won player of the year in 2010/11 and being relegated with West Ham who was also last place
@@lllyrio Roy Keane was in the EPL team of the year, not just the player of the year for Nottingham forest
@@geoemm ino but surely being the the player of the season is more impressive than being in the team of the season? I dno. Not trynna downplay Roy i thought he was an incredible player and deserved the awards he got and im an Arsenal fan (i did really love watching Roy play he was brilliant) but im just wondering whats more impressive toty or poty?
@@geoemm gotta mention Juninho too. Ino he wasnt in the team of the year deffo deserved to be in it possibly over David Batty although he was jncredible that season but Juninho scoring 13 in 35, doesnt sound impressive really but gotta remember he was a midfielder and Middlesborough only scored 52 that season. He scored 25% of the goals for them from midfield like what?!!
It's so weird how we look back at Keane as just a hard man defensive midfielder. He was later but for most of his career he dominated all the midfield box to box. There was a period he was among the greatest in the world and arguably the best epl midfielder for a fair few years.
i was shocked to see how many goals he scored ... i hardly remember him being mentioned in that regard
Keane was not only the best midfielder for a few years but the best player in the league for maybe 1-2 years.
@@manusiaganteng2753 Ya I agree!
@@Enigma3
ya I know. He really was box to box but because of how he played later most think of him as more of a CDM
People expose how casual they are when they believe things like "roy keane was just a tough tackler". Outstanding ability
Literally the best way of telling someone they've never watch a game past the 2010's lol.
Keane and Vieira were so far above everybody else in that era that the conversation was always about those two being the very best midfielders in England (from about 1996-2003), but Keane's talents on the ball are criminally underrated by people who assume he was just a 'tackler'. In reality his passing accuracy on opta stats was 88-89% EVERY season from 1999-2005 and his passes were mostly forward: Wayne Rooney said Keane was the best passer of the ball he ever played with in terms of getting the ball quickly into the forward's feet. His first touch was fantastic and his awareness and control of the game was what made United tick. People forget that Scholes was an attacking midfielder and only dropped deeper into the playmaking role after Keane left. Until then everything went through Keane.
On a side note Vieira actually has more red cards than Keane in the premiership.
Keane all day and night, viera was a massive player but keane was a monster, the year they won the double 96 with "kids" keane the best player in the country, every box ticked as a central midfield player and could play multiple positions, viera looked like he had more flair but keane better all round game, viera was never the best player in the league and not as dominant in the champions league
@@kwesiosei5100 Was Keane ever the best player in the league? Cantona was United's best player that season.
@@richardsmith9615 He won the PFA player of the year award in 2000, and was voted United's best player in the treble season (even finished 6th in the Balon d'or that year)
@@richardsmith9615 arsenal won the double in 98 for one reason; Roy Keane for out for months. He comes back, united win treble.
Viera had even more world cups than Keane,say it out
Player: Veira
Leader: Keane
Viera 100% every game and naturally the better player,Keane 1000% and would die rather than get beat,That is the difference to me!
Roy Keane all day. Complete midfield unit that is able to drag his side to glory. Vieira was great, but Keane was on another level. 🇮🇪
You been on the drugs? Not even a debate who was the better football player, its Vieira all day long, in all attributes.
Yeah the level of injuring people on purpose and ending their careers..Vieira was way more skilled than Keane. Keane was a great passer and tackler, but what made him extraordinary was his mentality. Vieira had both extraordinary mentality and skillset
Roy Keane how many World cups won sorry?
@@TheUrbanher0ridiculous comment 😂
@TheUrbanher0 Roy Keane would stroll into any world cup winning side in his prime. Vieira was clearly playing on a far superior French team. I give Keane the nod, though it is close.
Keane won the rivalry definitively in the Highbury tunnel. After words were exchanged it was Keane and United that won the match, in style. It closed the argument for me. The top two midfielders in PL history in my view. If you combined them in a midfield they win against any other two you can pick, they dominated games.
Don’t share that view. Each to to their own though
totally agree, that said it all really. a gauntlet was laid down in the tunnel. If viera was actually top dog arsenal would have won the game but they didnt, and it didnt even feel close on the day. utd strolled to victory on the day and viera was extremely quiet. you hear a lot of this viera was 6'4, a specimen. so he looked more dominant but its not about appearence, at that level its mental fortitude and keane edged it there which is why over all utd won more than aresnal during that period
Utd won that match because of the referee although i agree that keane is better overrall
LOL. Arsenal finished above United that season and took FA cup beating United. And you know how referees helped to win those two league matches
@@cnsaheen clown
For me its Keane>Viera. Ultimately he got the better of Viera overall in their duels
Keane all day long, besides all his other attributes, his ability keep all players at consistent high standard, was second to none,
In his younger days, Keane was a proper marauding midfielder, making runs into the box, getting goals, playing one-twos. He was also great at fizzing the ball between the lines and rarely lost the ball. On a technical level, Keane was a damn good player. People talk about Vieira's technical ability, which was great, but Keane was no slouch in that department.
Add to that his drive, his defensive work and perhaps most importantly his ability to get his teammates to play above themselves and you have the makings of an outstanding footballer. Keane is a player who made other players better and that's priceless.
When it comes to Keane vs Vieira we're really talking about Man United vs Arsenal with those players being the generals for their respective sides. In that context, there is only one winner. Arsenal won a few battles but United won the war.
Vieira was a better technical player, Keane was a more effective team player. Both were the heartbeat of their respective teams so similar in that regard. Keane edges it for me as he probably achieved more with less.
I know you said Keane edges it for you but I actually think you're underestimating how good he was. Keane was very good technically. His pass accuracy was incredibly high and keep in mind, his whole thing was about passing forward, not sideways or backwards. He rarely ever lost the ball and in his younger days especially, he would play one twos, make runs and score goals.
All of that is on top of what people tend to think of Keane, him being a driving force, midfield general etc. He was so much more than that. As Scholes became more prominent in setting the tempo, Keane adjusted his game to accommodate him and they complimented each other brilliantly. People tend to think of Scholes as the technically gifted one of the two and he certainly was more technically gifted than Keane but Keane was very technically gifted too.
Was Vieira a better technical player than Keane? He might shade it but it's a lot closer than people tend to think and in every other aspect, Keane. Plus, in the end, Keane won the war.
If Keane played for Arsenal they would have won a lot more titles. Simple as that.
Vieira had a lot going for him that Keane didn't have but their careers are over now and if I review them carefully I would say Vieira was potentially better, but Keane has been far more consistent.
you have no evidence keane always came out on top v him
Vieira's play was nice on the eye at times but Keano all day for me. If you watch back some of the games or highlights of that era, it's Keane who's not only tackling/intercepting/breaking up play but actually getting United moving forward. Showed up in the big games and actually has less red cards than Patrick
Vieira by miles
Why’s linekar saying “they both won loads of titles”, vieira won 3, Keane won 7.
Idiotic these discussions.
Lol I remember when Keane smacked shearer and shearer just stared him down, top lad al.
It was more of a push really
Shearer knew the ref would keep him safe
Shearer was shook to death
He missed. I think Keane joked once that one of his big regrets is that he didn't connect with that hit. 🤣
Keano 💪
Do they actually do any research to jog their useless memories?! Rather than just make sounds like an old fart, (Shearer and Micah have one brain cell between them, so are excused) Lineker should ask for the stats before stating that Viera could occasionally lose his head!! PV was sent off 8 times - the joint highest in Premier League history ffs!
Keane all day long
For me ,what seperates Keane from Viera and Gerrard ,is their impact on their national teams.
It's often said that Gerrard didn't have the same level of club teammates as the other two ,but it's also often said that Gerrard rare replicated his club form for England ,despite being in star studded teams.
Viera also faded into mediocrity for France albeit with far tougher competition,but Keane was Ireland's only genuine world class player for 5 years ,and not only brought his club form ,but dragged players up a few levels.
Keane Gerrard and vieras positive attributes are too close to properly decide that way , but I know for sure ,that at 3 0 up for a quality team I'd want Keane as cpt ,and I'd definitely want him as cpt of an average team that is 3 p down.
Gerrard Showed up in finals and dragged his team. You said Keane showed up for his country, he also turned his back on them and thre tantrums and was a constant drama queen for them too lol
@@erlinghakaku9967 lol u butthurt gammon always twist that story to feel better about the fact that Keane was better than Gerrard.
No one says scholes,or carragher,or shearer abandoned their country.
They accept the reasons and don't twist the facts for childish reasons.
There's nothing particularly special for me about being a 3 time ChampionsLeague quarter-finalist, especially when you look at some of the clubs Vieira played in.
So it's got to be Keane, he scored in 2 CL semi-finals and won way more PL's & won way more of the head-to-head battles and beat Vieira 6-1.
I get Vieira was 5 years younger but I still think Keane.
What? They played 20 times against each other, Keane won 7, Vieira won 7, and 6 were draws
Vieira also won a Euros so he’s outdone Keane on the European level too
@dalegrant9282 Great achievement to win a Euro's as a Senegalese player, literally against all odds lol he tells RoyKeane he never walked out on his country after Keane's WC02 fiasco but Vieira did walk out on his real one but I suppose he did help Senegal out actually at WC02 😆
ManUtd Highbury 96/97 (Keane stand-in captain, Vieira gave ball away for ManUtd's 2nd goal).
1-2 to ManUtd VillaPark FAcup SF 98/99 (Vieira gave ball away for ManUtd's winning goal).
1-2 to ManUtd Highbury 99/00 (Keane scored brace, Vieira didn't score).
6-1 to ManUtd OldTrafford 00/01 (Keane scored, Vieira didn't).
2-4 to ManUtd Highbury 04/05 (Vieira scored but lost, Keane was involved in both Ronaldo goals).
I don't know where you got the 7 wins for Vieira from. Even including games Keane didn't play (including both 97/98 games) Arsenal only beat ManUtd 6 times out of the 18 PL games they would've played in Vieira's 9 seasons at Arsenal and Vieira didn't play in the 1-0 win for Arsenal in 2000/01.
Are you counting the FAcup final 2005 where ManUtd battered Arsenal if anything that game goes against Vieira not in favour. It should've been another 6-1 (without Arsenal's 1 as you realistically need to have a shot to get a goal). Vieira never really thrashed Keane. He had 1 home 3-0 win against 10 man ManUtd with the 3rd goal being offside.
The FAcup SF 99 first game (0-0) was actually a win for ManUtd Keane scored a perfectly legit goal.
The 2-2 at Highbury 2002/03 both of Arsenal's goals were offside, both ManUtd goals were legitimate and by the way I know Keane didn't play in the 2-0 win earlier that season but the fact PhilNeville bossed Vieira is embarrassing for Patrick (although P.Neville is underrated).
The 1-1 draw Feb 99 ManUtd should've won easily Yorke had a bad day.
I know you weren't including C.Shield games but 1999/00 ManUtd were winning and Vieira got away with murder that game. He was diving all over the place he had tried to win a pen by diving with zero contact and he somehow was not cautioned and then he later won Arsenal a pen from another dive/exaggeration which swung game around. He also escaped a sending off for assaulting NickyButt.
@@FootkerSnookball bro you need a new focus on life good luck with it
@dalegrant9282
So your tactics are, disagree with facts that you don't like to be true, hope someone doesn't actually take you on properly and if they do pretend they're sad for knowing their facts?
I have plenty of things in my life I actually don't watch football like I used to in the era in question I'm not as obsessed with it I follow it still but don't have to watch so many games live you probably watch more live football than me nowadays but I have great knowledge and memory. Your much shorter messages probably barely took you any less time to write I think I just have a quicker brain than you sorry.
Keane influenced the outcome of every match he played in. Keane was better than Viera.
I've been a United fan for almost 4 decades now. I believe Vieira is the better player while Roy played with better teammates.
Gobshite
like arseal had no good players..jog on son
@daraspeight357 Arsenal had some amazing players. Henry, who was possibly the best ever in the league, and Bergkamp who he always praises as sublime. Him and Roy Keane always bang on about different men called Dennis lol. Pires, Vieira, Ljunberg.
I remember matches where Vieira seemed quite intimidated by Keane's fiery temperament and ability.
Vieria for me, but this question has no wrong answer IMO. It's so close
keane for me. people seem to remember him after his injury, before he was box to box and better than after his injury. but also vieira was world class. but because of the injury, came back changed his style and won everything, thats why he shades it for me. very close tho
Keane , no contest. Look at the medals he won
Vieira won the world cup and euros so it's not about medals here
@@mohammedfaiisal Keane won 7 premiership medals and without him I doubt Utd would have won that many. International football is slightly more of a lottery dependent on the country you are from.
@@mikeyk212 I think they would have been fine without Keane. They won league titles without him. One just before he joined and five after he left. Arsenal went on a massive trophy drought after Vieira left. Vieria also has 7 league titles. 4 Serie A and he was a part of the squad that won Mourinhos treble too. They were both great players but there will always be a debate on who was the better player
@@mohammedfaiisal Fair point. I've divided loyalties. I'm Irish and a Arsenal fan. I'd happily have either on my team. Ironically Arsenal doing great this season without a Keane/Veira type player in midfield which I always thought was essential to a successful team.
@@mohammedfaiisal Keane got injured in 97/98. That's the year Arsenal recovered a 12 point gap to win the league. Had Keane been there that wouldn't have happened. The following year, United won the treble and went on to win 3 leagues in a row. United without Keane were good. United with Keane were unstoppable.
Viera by miles..
Keane is overrated. Conte was better
Keane and Vieira were the only 2 midfielders who were able to play dual role of a defensive midfielder and controlling midfield in 1 player. They could win 95% games playing in a 2 man center midfield against opposition 3 man midfields.
United had to play both carrick as a defensive midfielder and scholes as a controlling midfielder together to replace Keane.
But both Keane and Vieira's ability to control a midfield like Tony Kroos does and not require another midfielder to do the defensive role along with them is criminally underatted.
Liverpool fan, Keane is the greatest PL player in history. Back of the Times for a decade, 8/10 every single week.
I'd rather have Keane beside me on a pltch than Viera.
That's what the difference is.
Keane would run/lead/drive a team ON the pitch but Viera just led one.
when Lineker says a few cowarded away from Keane was he aiming it at shearer?
of 🤣🤣course
I'm an Arsenal fan, and I must admit it's a very difficult decision. I really enjoyed their rivalry too
Keane wasn’t talented as Patrick who won everything.
You reckon Vieira would have won the World Cup if he was Irish???
The tie breaker for me is that Vieira was more technically gifted than Keane - otherwise, it's a toss up. They epitomised the rivalry between Utd and Arsenal and between Wenger and Fergie. Miss dem ol'days.
Was he though? Keane was a very technically gifted footballer, something he's not given credit for because people focus on his drive and determination. It's a lot closer than you think when it comes to technical abilities and even if Vieira shades it in that regard, Keane comes out on top in every other metric.
Vieira was a brilliant player, don't get me wrong, I'm not denigrating him in any way, but ultimately, for all the talk of the rivalry, it was Keane and United that came out on top. They won the "war" so to speak.
@@jedsithor I hear you and won’t dispute what you say. But yeah technically I think Vieira was better without a doubt Keane my have exhibited more drive and has his other attributes better than Vieira. And reason Keane almost always came in too was because Utd were generally a better side. Nothing against Keane either - that’s why I have to look for a tie breaker where Vieira was undoubtedly better.
Vieira the better player obviously but Keane i feel was the better leader
Prime Keane against prime Vieira, Keane takes it. Vieira had the edge physically, but Keane had all the intangible qualities. He got everyone around him playing better
lol
Viera had way better dribbling technique etc what are you smoking?
Regarding loosing there heads kean defo lost his more than patricks just my opinion 🤷♂️
Not even a debate. Keane all day long
Vieira! Man was an absolute unit
Disrespectful for both scholes and Keane, just for the sake of variety I think.
1. Keane, the most dominant footballer I've seen, certainly midfielder.
2. Scholes. Most technically gifted midfielder of his generation. Genius.
3. Vieira. Take Keane out of united and Arsenal would have won one or two more titles because of this behemoth.
4. Gerrard. All rounder who stood out in a dreary Liverpool team. In 4th because, in a better team, I think he isn't the same superstar (see veron for comparison).
5. Lampard. Had a team that played for him but, still, his goal tally is nuts.
6. Silva
7. Yaya toure
8. Essien
9. Fabregas
10. Kante
11. De Bruyne (he will be much higher by the time he retires, maybe top 2).
Keane: literally wins 7 pl titles, Champions League, FA cups & more. Linekar: It's hard to separate them, isn't it?'
There has never been a player like Vieira. Ever
Roy Keane
True. There was one better though, Roy Keane.
@@croissants1280ya roy keane helped france win a WC like viera
@@kimweroIsmail this is the silliest thing I’ve read
@@kimweroIsmail Yep Vieira even changed his name to Zinedine Zidane in that 98 world cup mental right?
I wished Bryan Robson was Irish ..Some wish Keane was English ...Enough Said..ps two great players.
You can’t compare those two. It’s like comparing a Rembrandt vs a Constable etc.
I am picking Keano.
Physically? Vieira was the bigger man. Technically? Vieira had better technique. Tactically? Viera could play equally as good as a DM and CM...
BUT - with all that being considered - i would still pick ROY KEANE.
Why? Because of the unintangibles - because of his drive to win and how he pushed his teammates onward...
You swap Roy and Patrick Arsenal become the dominant team during that Premier league span! I'll let you determine what that means! Both all time greats though!
Vieira is comes higher in Premier leagues Greatest players list.Only utd players think differently
The difference between viera, and keane was
Roy keane would be roy keane where ever he played
Patrick viera was only known because he played for arsenal
After viera left arsenal, like most arsenal players back then there career went down
Roy keane could of went to play for any team in europe and been the same player
Viera was very good player, but part of that was playing for arsenal back then. No one had heard of patrick viera before he was brought by arsenal.
He left arsenal, and turned into a nothing player even though he had many years left, like so many who left arsenal in those years.
Both viera at arsenal, and keane at man utd were at same level. But keane would of played at that level for any big team across europe
Viera played at that level because he played for arsenal back then.
Thats the difference
Look at petit, overmars, anelka, all left arsenal and were rubbish after, anelka was truly rubbish at real madrid. Petit left and was rubbish, and overmars played at a lower level for barcelona, than he did for arsenal in those years.
Patrick viera only got known due to playing for arsenal in those years. Yep, he was a great player in those years, but people ignore, the vast majority of players who played for arsenal in those years, played there best football for arsenal
Only 1 player i remember played rubbish at arsenal back then, and then left and was better, and that was andy cole.
For what ever reason andy cole just was rubbish at arsenal, and played far better elsewhere. He is the only player i remember like that. Normally players who played for arsenal in those years, played there best football at arsenal, and when they left were going down hill
Petit was good example, you only heard about him, because he played for arsenal, when he left, he never played like that again, same as viera.
Roy keane, would of been roy keane for any big club
Patrick viera was known and played at that level as he played for arsenal in those years.
There is a big difference between the two, but while both were playing for arsenal, and man utd, they were on similar levels of performance every week.
Who was the better player it was vieira . PV was better than Keane and I’m a Utd fan . I think Keane knew he was better that’s why he had to be the way he was when Utd faced arsenal
Keane all day. No doubt.!
They were both great players. You would want both of them in your squad any day.
But is it fair? Cause Vieira had different technical skills than Roy, But roy pulled his entire team together. They similar yet so far away.
People will pick Keane because of cultural familiarity. A blind man could see Vieira was more talented.
Keane was very very good was vieira was other worldy
Individually Vieira is better - but Keane made his whole team better by screaming at them to
Micah is an awful pundit, awful knowledge
Most footballers say Vieira.
vieira was technically slightly better than keane but the attributes they were the same
Technically Vieira,but Keane mentally.
lol what a question. veira was obviously better
Keane’s the better leader, Vieira’s the better player.
Vieira is the better player, Keane is the better captain
Keane can only play in the UK and probably Italy 😂. Vieira is miles ahead. It’s like comparing Thomas Gravesen to Ruud Gullit, y’all better stop fooling around 😂😂
Keane played brilliant against juventus in 1999..Zidane couldnt handle him.. Viera is average play in champion league..Thats the different.
Keane all day long. Good to see shearer has moved on 🙄
As a Liverpool fan, I hate Man United, but there’s few players for them that I have nothing but respect for and one of them is Roy Keane
I’m afraid shearer is not giving an unbiased view stemming from personal animosity towards Keane and Gary backs hi view point naturally . He of course dident make this obvious. If Keane was English he would have been the greatest ever
Both captains. Viera just pips it for me
No way keane was better than vieira
Who's Patrick Vieira?
Keane all day and Lineker 😂 fool!!
Keane all day long.
I'd like to see David Hirst do some punditry. He seems very witty, good storyteller, bit of a comedian. He's joke about scoring against New Zealand. He seems perfect for TV.
Has to be Patrick Vieira
It's funny how there's almost a silent agreement as to what the best era of football was.
I wud pick kean any day easily
Vieira is clear
Micah is unwatchable
Over the top laughing is beyond a joke
No one played that role like Patrick Viera! But there was someone better, Roy Keane.
In all honesty, Yaya Toure was the modern patrick viera, I find it tough to find a comparison to roy keane because he was 75% Fight, Personality, Toughness, Never give in attitude, You could almost compare him to the prime Kante if you think about it, Nothing special, Nothing over the top just simple and effective.
Both said Patrick
11 vieiras beats 11 Keanes.
Not even close Keane was a great leader but as a player Viera all day💯
so why did keane get the better of viera ever season bar 2?
@Laoch because he played in a better team does keane have a World Cup medal or a Euros? No he doesn't because Viera played in a better International team!!! Does that make sense mate?
@@laoch5658 Absolute nonsense,
Viera won the world cup in 1998 and European championship in 2000 and then led France back to the world cup final again in 2006,
He was captain of the greatest premier league team in history the invisible arsenal team who didn't lose a game,
He then went to Italy and won the Italian league like 3 years in a row with juventus and inter milan,
Both Viera and Keane were top class players but for me Viera is the best all round midfielder of the modern era and has the trophy cabinet to back it up in England and in different countries
@@ggmm6182 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Big pat all day
Two woke Moran's
Keane led that comeback against Juve in Turin against a Juve team full of... look it up.
The jury is out
Keane was an extremely intelligent footballer who like the really great players could take the pulse of the game and modulate the tempo in a appropriate way to achieve victory. These men aren’t qualified to discuss this level of the game because they didn’t operate at that level.
Keane's performance against Juve in 99 was legen (wait for it) dary. He got a yellow card so he was going to miss the final. But he was a class act and got Man Utd to the final.
Roy Keane any day.
Keane the best all round midfielder ever to play in Premier league,better captain too "pick on some on your own size patrick"❤
thats a really difficult choice.... Vieiras football was a bit more slick and pleasing to the eye but i think Keano edges it for me
Lads if u didint know Gary literally shat his pants live on the pitch England vs Ireland look it up. 💩💩
They dont make em like keane and Vieira anymore its crazy monster players both leaders and both goats ❤
Sorry keane all day long and if he was English he would go down as the best player ever but because he is Irish he doesn't get the recognition he deserves 😉 the best ever.
Bailed out on his country. What a hero
