Roy Keane is held up as the ultimate example of dedication on the pitch, the Irishman signed for Manchester United on 19th July 1993 for a then British transfer record £3.75mil. Keano played for us for an incredible 13 seasons during one of the most successful periods for our club, making 480 appearances and captaining the side from 1997 to 2005. Roy Keane epitomised the winning spirit of Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United sides, an inspirational icon in the middle of the park driving his teammates on. We've spoken to the people who witnessed Roy Keane close up, the players he captained, to hear their views on one of our greatest midfielders.

Looking forward to this. You guys need to get an interview with the captain. The straight up direct answers are mouthwatering for us fans
Hey guys do you have any thoughts on sancho? Do you think there is any truth in Benoit Badashille rumours?
Try get him on this. 💪
How can we ever replace keano?
He snarled and drove the club through our greatest times, what a player and i feel we wont see a player like that in football again ! I see him when im working in hale and im still in awe of him now ! Dave
Best captain Ever Legendary Keano
The most influential player that United have ever had, pure winner
Massive Keane fan. Has winning mentality was unbelievable. He had a way to get the most out of every player. His professionalism was second to none. I’d rate him way better than Robson. As for most “influential” player , it’s got to be Cantona.
100% the most influential player ive seen. Obviously there have been some better footballers, Cantona and Robson mentioned here. Cantona a different type of player and leader, Robson maybe similar to Keane but nowhere near as influential. Loved Robbo as well but didnt have that same influence on teammates. As the lads said in the video as well, the standards were set in training.....standards long forgotten now!
@incogneto Robbo was great, but not as influential as Keane.
Robbo often had to do everything by himself, Keane wouldn't have stood for that... He'd have been ripping his teammates to shreds.
Bryan Robson was as influential as Roy but in a weaker team that Robbo carried at times so for me Robbo shades Roy
@@billybigtime2808 but again i think you mean shades it as a player, which is debatable. But as an influence and having an influence on those in your team, I've never seen anyone like Keane. Same when he played for Ireland, made average players half decent. I loved Robbo too.
What annoys me most is fifa boys these days think he was just a hard man. Kicking and screaming. He was a proper player. Great football brain and technician.
Very true. I mean when his temper did flare up, he would get red cards. But its very very important to remember that 90 percent of the time he was the best player on the pitch.
As an Arsenal fan I agree. People who talk about hin like that either hawen't watcher him or they don't have a clue about football.
Hate the footbal fans nowadays who only appreciate highly skilfull technicians who don't even know how to play football properly and don't see the whole picture.
Eh don't mind them morons. The amount of people who try to tell me that Giggsy was "overrated" because they only started watching him when he was like 35 (and still brilliant by the way). These people never saw a younger Ryan Giggs easily the best winger in the country in his glory days
@@iryaniedit2317 poetry in motion mate.
Why do you care what those wankers think? They probably support Barcelona, man city, Liverpool and psg. Couldn’t give two shits what they think.
Keane was epic, but Scholes was also epic. The two of them together at midfield were probably the best combo in history
Keane may be my favourite player (maybe McGrath?) and Scholes possessed an embarrassment of footballing riches but what of Xavi and Iniesta?
@@motorcitycobra2009 Too hard to compare, ...and Xavi and Iniesta were really a midfield 3 with Busquets (who gave the other two the stability they needed). I was about to say '..but then what would Scholes and Keane be without Beckham and Giggs either side of them?' but realised we did see how influential an older Paul Scholes remained without of any of those guys (with Giggs playing less)
Keano - An absolute monster of a player.
Had bags of ability, which often gets overlooked.
He was a brilliant passer of the ball, zipping it into his team mates feet,ensuring the tempo remained high.
The best tackler i've ever seen.
Could get forward and score goals.
Demanded nothing but full effort and commitment from himself and colleagues.
Had a marathon runners stamina.
A warriors drive,and most importantly of all he was a BORN WINNER.
Oh how i wish this current team had a central midfielder with his talent.
100% about his passing. Ran the tempo of games. Speeded things up but could also take the sting out of games when needed
This 👆
Lets be honest though - his "brilliant trackler" skills, wouldn't be tollerated today. Too physical. But he was perfect for his time, against the behemoths like Vierra who would just constantly push and use his weight to dominate players. Football used to be a lot more physical.
@@FrankLucas-pw5hs Football is just turning into a ballet these days.
pogba should just watch keanes highlights and see what a real midfielder and captain of united is about 👍
I remember the day he left United. I was a student in Galway at the time and the news had just broken whilst I was on a bus heading back home for the weekend. This is before the era of smart phones so the bus driver pulled over and told everyone over the speaker that “Roy Keane has left Man United”...there were gasps and looks of shock / confusion from everyone (young kids, grandmothers, students)! The bus driver sat there for a minute or so in quiet reflection before pulling off again. It demonstrates the aura the man had - we all felt he was invincible at the time, despite the injuries and entering the twilight of his career.
No way, great story mate I can tell you really remember it.
Man its emotional
I live in Galway and love that story, and I am not even a red
Good story but pure fiction. Wasn’t that much of a shock
Don Mac R 😂 says the man who wasn’t there. It was a complete shock and came out of nowhere, most people thought Keane, as club captain, had another 2 to 3 years in him and those would be spent at United. To be unceremoniously dumped on a random Friday in mid season was not expected and certainly a shock, as outlined above.
Roy Keane and Denis Irwin, best signings that Alex Ferguson ever made, and Even better, both Cork men!!
Rebels abú
Mayfield and togher...i knew roy growing up im from the same housing estate in mayfield..hes s top bloke..regulary came bsck to our school st johns and signed autographs for everybody and had a friend that commited suicide and roy would always visit his mother in ballinderry park whenever he was back in cork..top bloke and proud cork man.
@@rossegan7034 brilliant ross love it, sure you'll never beat the Irish
@@ronoc89 I'm guessing you don't know why Cork was called the Rebel County...
Hail Hail up the Cork bhoys
One of the best midfielders I ever saw, such a great leader.......and that's from a Liverpool fan.
Agree as a Gunner.
Roy Keane is the epitome of what a Utd player should be......
Erm SHEEEARER
And pogba is the opposite
Best midfielder in the history of the premier league.
Newcastle fan.
Agreed(Another Newcastle fan)
Roy Keane was a man of focus, commitment, sheer f**king will.
The personification of Fergie on the field.
John wick reference....i like that
Roy Keane was the engine of our most successful team, never again will we see a player with the same drive, determination and commitment to the cause. Keane accepted nothing but 100% , a true leader of men.
Arguably our greatest ever player, certainly our most influential.
Giggs is our greatest ever player, and Charlton our most influential player. Keano was a world class player, but then that should show you just how immense Robson was because he was even better with more goals and less liability in getting sent off in the match for a ridiculous tackle.
Roy Keane was a great player but his greatest ability was that he inspired the rest to the team to give 100% and drove them on. His leadership was as important or more important than his individual skill and performance.
@@mrjones29 keane nevet got sent off in imoorstant games, was not a liability. Keane became better than robson.
@@hotbot4219 What's that word you writing there? imoorstant??? I love Keane as a player and he was just as immense as Robson, but the stats speak for themselves. Keane scored less than 60 goals in whole career, Robson scored over 100 goals. Keane never scored more than 10 goals for his country, Robson scored nearly 30 goals for England, Keane played for 17 seasons, far less than Robson who played for 22 seasons. Robson also won goal of the season in the mid 1980s, shows you how much of a dynamo player he was. Individually Keane definitely was not a better player than Robson, but Keane played in a much better team that brought the best qualities out of him.
Well robson was better at scoring goals obv ,so was zidane. Saying keane was in a better team is stupid, he played just as good for reland, made no difference.
No one worked harder than Keano on the pitch legend💯 💚🇮🇪
Keane and robbo what a pair we had
Roy: "that's their job"
Keane deserves a proper heroic status at utd...he did so much for that club..he really deserves to go down as one of the greats
Schmeichel, he's got to be there.
Fergie made so many great signings, it is a topic of its own.
Keane def played a part in Ronaldo's eternal success
My favourite United player ever. We won’t ever see such a player in modern football again. Players hide behind social media drama and agents now - in my opinion players are too soft now. Roy Keane is a leader who leads from the front and demands everything you have. Legend!
Juventus 99 semi final says it all one of the most passionate dedicated natural leaders utd have ever had
Thee most
Not one of
Watched him as a youngster with my dad at cobh ramblers he was class then signed for forest and the rest is history so proud of our town we made a legend
We? You and your family had literally nothing to do with it
@@wot4606 how do you know, maybe his parents are teachers who thaught him, who do you think paid his salary when he was playing for cobh ramblers, kid it’s very rare for someone to become successful all alone, there’s always someone or a tiny community who had you back and your job is to be humble and have humilty and give respect to those people
I never saw Keano play for United (I was a child then) but hearing the stories of him being a ruthless captain and a workhorse on the pitch sends shivers down my spine. I wish we still had someone like Keano in our team who could be the General for the battalion on the pitch.
Keano was one of the best players of his era. Absolute legend. Well respected here in his hometown of Cork. Great channel lads! I look forward to more of your content! 💯🇮🇪
We even like him in Limerick :P
I'm from Cork.....a spurs fan it was a pleasure to watch him winner leader midfield general......myou favourite player....next to gazza......keano...
Phenomenal player class I'm a Forest Fan,and he meant that much to me that I followed his entire career at Utd I never had no hate for that man always wanted him to do well. I met him when he was at forest through my Job at the time spent a couple hours with him, and the cool thing was that season every home and away game I'd see him outside the players lounge for a glimpse of the team or an autograph and he would always reconise me and say how are you, it blew me away he must see thousands of fans but he remembered me and said stuff like "what are you doing down here" like a cold weekday away match at Southampton like he new it was a trek from Nottingham on a work day lol such respect for that man.
To angry to lose never be replaced Roy Keane United legend
People talk about Sancho to United but it is characters like Keano that United need...never dropped his standards.
Good point but unfortunately times have changed dont get them player's now gattuso another player comes to mind aswell players now its all socal media straight after games
True but it's not about social media alone it is about delivering standards and it should hurt if it's not being delivered. JL for instance has a fashion chain and a social medial serial user but won't care about improving or playing a good game. Keano or someone would have questioned that instead we have Paul joining him dancing in the videos.
Sancho to me is just another Pogba/Lingard
Wow! That's rich coming from a City fan!!
@Laoch never said he could did i just gattuso and keano were both real warriors on the pitch
Roy Keane, Top,Top bloke and unbelievable player!
He kept the standards so very high ....Thankyou for everything you did for United and what a great captain!
My favourite United player by a mile and I started watching United in 1971!
Roy Keane never lets anyone shaft him. Amazing player and leader.
Really dreadful way Ferguson and Utd treated Keane at the end.
He got bombed out for calling Ferguson out for taking its biggest shareholders to court and putting himself before the club when told by everyone to drop it
Which resulted in them selling all their shares and their friends who also had a lot of shares in the club to the glazers
And roy was first to see something like that happening and Ferguson used a pathetic excuse to end his United career and also darken his name with the fans
The class of 92 was special but they would not of been so without roy Keane and it saddens me he don’t get the same love of many fans as the class of 92 as Keane loved United in my eyes more than Fergie as he was all for team but Ferguson let his ego take over and make some bad choices that’s why we ended up with the glazers
I describe Keane in one word.
PERFECTION
Couldn’t of put it better ourselves!🔴⚪️⚫️
The complete player. Roy keane and Paul Scholes were the perfect partnership in midfield
Roy Keane, Scholes, Fletcher. 👍
Keano what a legend
He’s an honest guy who doesn’t shy away from responsibility. Legend.
43 years old and Robson and Keane are the two greatest United players ive ever seen.
Out of all the superstars we have had Roy is up there with the best.. no flair, just honest hard work and gave everything every time he wore the shirt, lead by example.. a WINNER.
Thanks Roy for all the years,
Keane: One of my all time favorite players. :)
Absolute champion, epitomised why teams feared playing United. Game was never over while Keane was on pitch. How we miss him in these times
As a liverpool fan but a Cork man I enjoyed this lads. Nice one.
As a Chelsea fan would have loved him to be with us - 100% commitment !
As an Irish man I hated Keane for the 2002 world cup but I didn't know him. I've had the pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions and I can honestly say that he's a gentleman. He got involved in the life of a good friend of mine who was suffering a lot and he showed himself to be a great human being. A fantastic professional and a great person..
Nice to hear. Keane can come across arrogant etc but he’s not. The guy is a beast
I'm also Irish but after hearing and seeing everything about him over the last few years it makes you think he must have had in his mind a genuine reason for what he did
That is the greatest compliment one Irishman can pay to another ☘️
Motivator, tackler, workhorse, scorer of big goals, engine of the team, perfect passer, warrior. Absolute beast of a player, phenomenal!🙇♂️
My sporting hero of all time barr none
Keane is one of the greatest players ever. His hardman persona has overshadowed his greatness for the younger generation who consider him almost as a tv character. The guy dominated midfield in almost every game he ever played. I never saw anyone get the better of him, ever. I say that as a liverpool fan. No one can compare to him in the modern era. He was unbelievable
Greatest of all time
Not a Man U fan, but really enjoy listening to an authentic voice of the club and its Mancunian fanbase, you guys have some pretty solid content.
That second leg of the Juventus game champions league. It immortalized Roy Keane aswell.
Over the past 33 years of watching football Roy Keane was a fantastic player I have seen in midfield in the PL.
One word = Legend
Roy keane is a real man and a class player. never afraid to speak his mind like these woke lunatics these days. respect to a legend.
I don't think Roy Keane has the ability to stop whats on his mind coming out of his mouth whether he'd like to say it or not.
He's a family orientated, dog loving, funny and loyal decent human being but once a football catches his vision then whoever kicked it and triggered his senses better be certain its a forward pass that gets to a teammate or a goal or he'll fire fucks into them and drive them into the ground like a tent peg.
His reaction to De Gea and Maguire live on Sky Sports 16 years after leaving the club threatening to swing punches at them and kick them from the team bus in the middle of London indicates he's still completely as insane once a football is spotted as he was back then at United.
Gary Neville apparently ran out of the studio down the tunnel and zipped himself up the kit bag wrapped up in pile of sweaty socks as he used to always do when Keanes face dropped a little and a tint of redness started to appear on his face.
Micah Richards isn't even there as a pundit, he's a paid bodyguard to protect the other pundits from being attacked by Roy Keane if he sees Pogba not tracking back.
Evra was that concerned he offered to drive De Gea and Maguire home in a high powered Supercar up the M6 with Roy Keane chasing on foot kicking lumps out of the bodywork and trying to stab out the tyres with studs up slide tackles the whole way.
Its a good job Keane was mid 40s and unfit and had ran out of energy near Stoke or they'd both be dead and Evra too for aiding their getaway.
Keanos passion should be bottled and injected into the lazy bums in the dole queue.
Unemployment would end by the next morning guaranteed.
High praise from Giggs who played with so many people
Keano was top dog, was very underrated ability wise. Never gave ball, rarely caught in possession. Whenever you saw him live at the stadium was class to watch what he did off the ball.
Now I get so frustrated watching utd with pogba prancing around the park not closing people down, not tracking back, getting caught in possession time and time again.
Loved him as a player and the captain of my club. They’re right when he was leading it felt like you had 12 men on the pitch. The day he left a piece of Man Utd left with me. I lost a fair bit of passion and it hasn’t returned and I doubt it will with a lot of modern day footballers just not up to it.
I was privileged to see a born winner, leader and footballer in our greatest Captain ever, Keano. Roy has earned the respect of everyone who knows and loves the game of football. Sadly, he will never be replaced as he was and still is, one of a kind. A true legend of football and certainly of Utd. The memories will never diminish. We all wish you well in everything you do Roy.
Serious player,So underrated remember seeing him for Ireland and everything was controlled with him barking orders serious touch
Fantastic, man and player United unfortunately have never replaced him, the ultimate professional
Watched him live twice at Highbury. Drove Utd to two crucial wins. Awesome. 19 February 1997 & 22 August 1999.
I am just so glad he was the captain, leader and made the game so simple. A born leader and 13 years of greatness and a big thankyou for the game against Juventas....a born captain and he kept standards so very high.
Forever my captain! Keane was an exceptional player but he was the greatest captain you could ever have!
Great players led by a great captain.
Cork man like myself and great player never gave up or gave in gave it all for our team.man Utd in his blood forever
What a player what a leader...above all a winner
As a kid supporting United you told him for granted because you just thought that was the standard...Havnt seen his like since
Well said! What I'd give to have a midfielder like him in the current squad
Roy Keane not only set huge standards as a player, he did as a manager too.
As a Sunderland fan, since the 1960’s, Roy Keane is for myself, clearly the best manager we’ve ever had.
His departure remains a huge mystery and boy do we miss him.
What impressed me most was that as a manager, he was completely different to the Roy Keane, we used to watch as a player.
Quiet, thoughtful and able to carefully plan the way forward.
I do enjoy him as a pundit, yet I feel his undoubted talent as a manager should be recognized and rewarded by an ambitious club with directors with both a backbone and some vision...x
Brilliant player and born winner. United's best ever captain for me
Let me tell you a story about Roy Keane, a friend of my uncle played semi pro in the League of Ireland for Dundalk. Towards the end of his career he was playing against a team called Cobh Ramblers. On the Cobh team that day was a young lad of about 17 called Roy Keane. Word had got out that this young lad was good so my uncles friend decided to hit him early and let him know he was in a man's game. An opportunity presented itself so he hit Keane with a tackle as hard as he could. Both went to ground. My uncles friend got up expecting to get the ball and leave Keane in a heap, however the ball and Keane were already 20 yards away. He said in all his years playing football Keane, at 17, was the hardest player he ever played against.
@incogneto Ah I see reading comprehension isnt your forte. Keep trying and perhaps one day you will master it.
Inspiring story mate.
As a Liverpool, I have the utmost respect for Roy Keane. He was a true professional and a leader. The best midfielder in a quartet which is one of the best in English football history. There is no denying that.
You wanna know what's the definition of Engine player in football?
: it's Roy Keane.
A player any manager would want to have. Great leader also.
roy keane lead by example, best captain of all time
Keano is magic, he wears a magic hat,
When he saw old Trafford he said “I fancy that”
When he got subbed off, united lost all their structure, and looked much weaker. Truly one of the best captains the game has ever seen.
All around best midfielder ever!
Brilliant video guys--there's only ONE Keano!
He was one of the great players I never played with
Great video lads and good to see the thoughts from the class of 92 legends on the best captain we have ever had. When we had a midfield of Keane and Scholes in the centre of the park you knew they would always give it their all and get stuck in. Natural born leader. I remember the incident in the tunnel at Highbury when he had a go at Patrick Viera. He didn’t care how big they were. Nobody was messing with his teammates.
Liverpool fan here good stuff this video ,Keane was next level .
Manchester United legend for sure
Keane is leadership personified - brilliant player - in the top 10 most influential players in EPL history - outstanding 👌🏻
100% agree with you in every way, brilliant player, high standards, an absolute red and never been replaced but in saying that who could ever replace him??? Love the guy, can’t hear a wrong word about him, top top class 👌🏻
There is only one Keano. I wish we had more players like him today.
Captain FANTASTIC!!
Fantastic video, especially the part were you two spoke about Roy. You spoke with passion and clearly enjoyed watching Roy play. For me, that is what the game is about, passion and enjoyment.
Roy Keane was a brilliant player and sometimes I feel his leadership qualities get spoken about so much that his actual football ability is disregarded. I thought he was a world-class player, his passing, first-touch, positional play and reading of the game was outstanding.
He was also a decent finisher, you didn't see him miss many 1v1 opportunities. He played the game with aggression but also with a calmness.
Aside from McClair (hero as a kid) he is my favourite United player and I will never forget how much joy watching him play gave to me.
Excellent video. Roy and myself are from the same city (Cork). Best captain ever. Best midfield line ever. Would have loved the opportunity to see Becks and Ronaldo play in the same team at United. Becks on the right Ronaldo on the left unstoppable 👍🏼
Keano keano legend
Best and hardest worker leader legend
THEE greatest united player period!
The most influential midfielder (along with Vieira) the premier league has ever seen. I'd always pick him in central midfield in my all time best eleven. He's everything you want in that position as well as being a leader and a captain - and that's coming from a Chelsea fan!
Super team of great characters and mutual respect Roy was doing his job and I bet he has few regrets not care what folk say about him , he’s that strong and honest . Give me a Roy figure any day of the week on a football pitch .
THE GREATEST KEANO. A TRUE LEGEND. PASSION, DETERMINATION ,DRIVE JUST THE BEST.
Nothing else to add to yeer video lads, it's all been said in it. He is an Irish hero too 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Keane was a great captain but imo people forget how good a footballer he was
What a player
Greatest player to ever play in the premier leauge . Look at what he inspired his teammates to do count all the trophies they won. It will never be done again. An incredible record United have through those years. Wish we could roll back the clock and watch it all unfold again. I am from Cork City living now in Virginia USA . He makes Corkmen feel proud and Denis Irwin also. What a great team inspired by Keano only one Keano !!!
Yeah, better than Henry!, calm down mate, have a lie down.
Roy was the best and he is just so funny I just love watching him
Carried Ireland to the 2002 World Cup was brilliant in the qualifying campaign and a huge loss for us at the tournament an inspirational leader a winner and an excellent player
He did not carry Ireland to that WC. Not having that!
He 100% did.
@@declanobrien1283 In your opinion. I was at every game so I'll make my own judgement. Ireland had alot of very good players. Not sure what your definition of carry is.
@@niallglennon83 He was simply the best performer, they may well have had a lot of very good players he was undoubtedly the standout.
He was the most professional player in the team and their best player who dragged them to that world cup.
@@declanobrien1283 never said he wasnt the best player. But "carrying" is a different matter. He didnt even play the 2nd leg of the playoff for a start.
Roy Keane would be an amazing general in a world war. Great Leader
Great skipper ever, midfield juggernaut that set standards, motivate and captured hearts and mind of his team mates to deliver. The Juventus game says everything about Roy Keane!
The Juventus game was where everyone saw who Roy Keane is. He would not be in the final but he still left it all on the pitch.
Love Keano. Modelled my game on his. High expectations at all times
Same man. I miss that grit and aura he brought to those tough fixtures.
Great video boys and Keane was the benchmark, fantastic captain and player.
Best centre midfielder we ever had.
Be it Vieira, Lampard, Gerrard, Petit, Batty or whoever else, Keane pocketed them all 9 times out of 10.
Even past his peak years at 33 years of age at Anfield and Highbury in 2005, he destroyed Vieira and Gerrard.
The only player who could put it up to Zidane at the time.
If he was guilty of anything, it was that he cared almost too much, which ultimately led to his fallout with Fergie.
Love him, maybe someday we’ll see him back at the club in some role.
As much as I love him, Brian Robson and Sir Bobby Charlton were better CM’s for United.
Fred The Red that’s your opinion and you’re perfectly entitled to it.
Both absolute world class players.
I’d edge Roy, personally.
His influence on the team was unmatched.
One thing’s for sure though.
They don’t make them like any of those three anymore.
kylereese2000 Roy didn’t win the Ballon D’or, Sir Bobby won it when he guided England to the WC in 1966. Robson was in a much worse team than Roy in the 80’s. It could be argued that if Robson was in his prime under SAF instead of Keane, then United probably would have won just as much.
