And you listen to the many top players and when they are asked who they would have as captain, it's nearly always Keane.
Very good player, and an even better leader.
Screw loose undoubtedly.
It would have, but I reckon he was a smart enough footballer to adjust (although we will obviously never know for certain).
He didn't manage to adapt his outlook when it came to his foray into management and the game's since moved even further away from his playing era since then.
I don’t remember him two foot tackling any journos in the pressers?
In this context it is.
They aren’t scared of him being violent, it’s a turn off phrase to mean they respect his authority
Ended players careers as well mind you...
There is no evidence Keane directly ended any player's career, although his infamous 2001 tackle on Alf-Inge Håland is often cited in football folklore as doing so.
Nothing like the truth. Not even sure why you felt the need to bring it up.
Keane was a magnificent leader and a very good player. He was actually hard as opposed to our captain..
If you like players stamping on people and kicking them studding them in the knee, fly kicking and punching fellow pros then we know where you plant your flag.
I loved Roy Keane but the over glazing is embarrassing, he was a thug on the pitch and say what you want about Romero he is nowhere near as dirty as Keane was
Pure folklore.
It came out some time afterwards that it was a problem with the left knee that ended Haaland senior’s career and Keane had taken out his right leg. The rumoured legal action against Keane was dropped after the medical evidence came to light, but the folklore continued.
Other than a few really nasty challenges, a lot of the Keane thuggery has been overblown and nothing we still don’t see on the pitch even now.
He got a red for throwing the ball at Shearer FFS and the handbags that followed. We saw worse than that in our own Battle of the Bridge.
IMHO the thuggery has been overhyped over the years and Keane has done nothing to talk it down himself as I think he likes the image.
Should have got a medal for stamping on Southgate!

Romero haters think he is the aggressive players that Keane was which is quite ironic
Maybe being a liability goes wayyyyyy beyond just being over aggressive!Romero haters think he is the aggressive players that Keane was which is quite ironic
Did AI write this?
Tbf all of that pales next the outright brutality of Romero's challenge on Bambi Casemiro

Should have got banned for a year and done community service
I mean if the FA won't do it then the Club should - we need to set standards at our club and it begins with volunteering to execute our Captain by immolation in a Wicker Man Basket. It's the only way to prove we're serious as fanbase.
