"We need f***ing more from you. We need a bit more, gaffer. We’re slipping behind other teams.” Keane’s great appeal lies in his capacity for violence, even if it’s his tongue that often does the damage, as Ferguson noted snidely in his book last year. The threat of an explosion is always present, yet those incidents that do occur here – shouting matches and grappling with players, arguments with opposing managers and their staff, even the climax to his United career in Ferguson’s office – are often sanitised by humour and so are difficult to reconcile fully with the fearsome character we know. As I walked to the front I heard something going on at the top of the tunnel," he writes. "All I could see was a few fingers, pointing at Gary. I lost it. Five seconds earlier I'd been perfectly calm, in the zone, ready for the match.City leave Haaland to fend for himself". Daily Telegraph. 14 February 2003.

The other main contradiction that an Arsenal fan such as myself may be tempted to call a double-standard is Keane’s supposed unflinching attitude toward the truth. He exemplified a very important aspect of Man United’s greatness, which was a hatred of complacency, a refusal to be satisfied that more often than not spoiled any sense of accomplishment. This ultimately led to his downfall, tragic hero that he is (although the Autobiography was written prior to the event) when he unduly criticized his teammates’ performance on Man U’s own TV program. The contradiction lies not in his ability to be mercilessly critical of himself and his own team, but in the absolute denial of the existence of quality elsewhere. He has some words for Real Madrid and Juventus, and he admits begrudgingly throughout when another team played better than his; but for the most part the successes of anyone else mean nothing to him. As a fan of a major rival of his, it’s easy to see why I would notice such a contradiction; but Keane is not concerned with being a well-rounded individual. He is not concerned with following the Socratic method of argument. The inability to give the slightest shit about competitors doing well, to nonsensically (in logical terms) attribute zero value to the success of rivals, is a major advantage for a competitive athlete. At the office it makes you a cunt, but in the vicious world of professional football it is a valuable—if unconscious—attribute. Roy Maurice Keane (born 10 August 1971) is an Irish football pundit, former coach and former professional player. He is the joint most successful Irish footballer of all time, having won 19 major trophies in his club career, 17 of which came during his time at English club Manchester United. [4] Regarded as one of the best midfielders of his generation, he was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players in 2004. [5] Noted for his hardened and brash demeanour, he was ranked at No. 11 on The Times ' list of the 50 "hardest" footballers in history in 2007. Keane was inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2021. [6] [7] It got really heated between Roy Keane and Ian Wright on ITV after England's World Cup exit". Sports Joe IE. Sports Joe IE.

Sloth – part one: De Bilde mourns dog – Willebroek, 2006". The Guardian. 21 May 2009 . Retrieved 10 September 2010. Keane unexpectedly left Manchester United by mutual consent on 18 November 2005, [61] during a protracted absence from the team due to an injury sustained in his last competitive game for the club, [62] caused by a robust challenge from Luis García against Liverpool. His departure marked the climax of increasing tensions between Keane and the United management and players since the club's pre-season training camp in Portugal when he argued with Ferguson over the quality of the set-up at the resort. [63] Ferguson was angered further by Keane's admission during an MUTV phone-in that he would be "prepared to play elsewhere" [64] after the expiration of his current contract with United at the end of the season.
