How Good Was Roy Keane, Really?

- If you've been a fan of football for a while, you're probably familiar with what I like to call the "attitude era" of the English Premier League.
This was essentially a time between the early 90s (when the competition began) and roughly the mid 2000s, when players were far more aggressive and referees were far more forgiving.
In this time period, the roughest of players were famously referred to as 'hardmen'. And although there were several 'hardmen' type players, very few (if any at all) came close to being as successful as Roy Keane.
With that being said, it's been some time, since he retired. We may all be in need of a refresher on how iconic he really was.
So how good was Roy Keane, really?

Not as good as Denis Irwin, but I always did my job.
Thank you for gracing us with your presence today.
Damn
I'm a Spurs fan from Belfast. Keane was awesome. The game against Juventus defined his talent and confirmed just how good he was. We all thought how can he compete with Davids and Zidane? Well he did that and more. The fighting Irish, probably not quite right, but can stand up in a dog fight!
@@FootballIconic Pleasure's on my side Micah
Expected 100% from team mates and always gave 100%. Never flinched in a tackle and kept the passes simple.
What a player.
It's not just a matter of how good Keane was but of how much better he made his teammates play.
Facts.
Yea led by example, great captain ,role model ,
Yup, as a mancity fan i can assure u this is fact. He may not the most skillful, but his leadership shows. Read about it once, how he setup the rules for the first team to follow and kept them in order.
As a Liverpool fan I hated roy keane .. then I heard him on the radio say it's when they stop hating you that's when you know you are losing your edge 😂😂 fantastic player had he gone to Liverpool in the early 90s I'm sure we wouldnt have had to wait until last year to land the prem
@@imedi so true. He would have changed the culture in the team.
Keane's game is fascinating from a psychological perspective.
He admitted in an interview that his main driver was fear. Fear cripples most performances, but he somehow used it to his advantage.
Excellent player. Amazing career.
I was in Turin for the semi final with Juve.
Keane was incredible.
Probably the best individual performance I have ever seen.
wow. he against zidane and descamps who won world cup 98.
@@nikkicherry6559 that Juve team was immense.
All over the pitch there were world class players, United had a team lead by Keane.
I watched a re-run of the game last week, it still sends shivers down my spine.
If you think that was good, you should see Zlatans performance against England 🤣
Only other game that came close was Roy against Holland at lansdowne Road in 2001, a Holland team that had de boer bros, David's, Bergkamp. overmars and more.
Roy Keane was incredible
@@kennywilkinson913 This is the game I remember him most for.
Not only were opponents scared of him but his own teammates knew if they didn’t put a shift in they were in for it.
why what is he going to do, shout at them like a school teacher ooohhhh how scary
@@ruijackson7697 You must be like 9 you probably grew up with fortnite so shut up and watch a bit of football
@@Michael-Cross U must be like an 8 yr old never heard of any club except man U. shut up and watch a bit of football.
@@ruijackson7697 You clearly have never played competitive football
@@Milliardo66 you have clearly never played competitive football.
That performance against juventus epitomises Roy Keane. A captain pushing his team mates to not give up and push 90 mins until they get the win. He’s everything united has lacked this past decade..
I was like 8 at the time but I'll never forget that game. The commentary was unreal... "Beckham, in towards Keane! Roy Keane with a captains goal for Manchester United! GAME ON!"
Especially when he knew he wouldnt play in the final.
90 minutes. That's just doing their job.
Bruno does channel some of it but Keane was an absolute animal. I remember when friends at school would pretend to be this player and that player but no, I was Keane in the middle of the park.
Well.. him and SAF
What the video doesn't note is that in that Semi-final against Juventus, Keane got booked in the 27th minute and knew for most of the game that he wouldn't appear in the final. It's how he reacted to that and whatever he found in himself to do so is what was so astonishing.
That was his job ;)
@@TheLastAngryMan01That gomment makes Roy happy! 😂
He gets embarrassed by this and says “what was I supposed to do”
A lot of these comments saying “Keane was just a player who did the simple things right” yet he was an exceptional tackler, incredibly strong, the best captain in football history arguably and an excellent passer of the ball
Shut up most these comments are worshipping him
Exactly the same fans against Keane, would have loved to have had him on the team at the time - you know you are good when opposite fans hate you. Fantastic teammate, and he had his flaws, and is still 1 of the best midfielders in footballing history
Football history lol
Exactly!
I mean, he was no Pirlo, but a lot of people make it seem like aggression was his only strength was just isn't true.
He was actually quite good technically, his passing was incredibly and his dribbling was quite good too.
Not better than maldini as a captain.
A midfield of Beckham - Keane - Scholes - Giggs is stuff made of dreams.
Not sure that you are in fact Liam Gallagher mate
Best midfield 4 to ever play
The impossible dream 1999
The crosser, the worker, the passer, the dribbler. It is THE perfect set.
I ORDERED keane, Beckham and Giggs jerseys. Should I get Scholes too,?
6:15 worth noting that Keane damn well knew he'd miss out on the final if he made that tackle, but he also knew that not making the tackle could mean they don't make the final at all. That's what made his display so selfless. Hands down the best captain of all time
True that, this shows that how much he had trust in his teammates
most players would do that though
Nah dude. the real performance came AFTER that tackle. He just rolled his sleeves and was ready to die than lose that night. Selflessness was HE KNEW he would miss the Final YET he wanted to win so that his team could go to final.
Jesper Blomqvist gave the ball away when Keane made that tackle on Zidane, then he got up and gave Blomqvist a bollocking for giving the ball away cheaply.
@Jack Lee I rate Keane highly and believe he’s very underrated in terms of his genuine skill compared to just his mentality and physicality. But in terms of captaincy I believe Puyol and Gerrard edge him just barely
Wenger & furgeuson
Keane & veira
Good old glory days where passion for playing the club was everything!❤️
He completely overwhelmed Zidane in 1999 UCL semis
Football will never be The same. Roy Keane wasn’t A footballer, he was A soldier on The pitch, fighting like his life was at The line
Agreed. A true warrior!
Roy keane was one hundred percent a baller and a brilliant one at that
Ameeeeen ... !!! You say it right sir
Being a fellow Cork man, I lost interest in United when Keane left,, What a Player and captain, The best Ever,
Yeah that's actually true in so many interviews Keane even says it but it's the same as who knows what would have happened if he didn't get sent of in that champions League semi final that edged us on to win it
Roy Keane is the most energetic, passionate and dedicated player for Manchester United. He is a fighter, a great leader, most influential player Manchester United ever had.
Not quite true. I saw Duncan Edwards play. Duncan was the best of the best. Think of Keane, Zidane and Pele added all together and then think he wasn't anywhere near the player he would have gone on to become. The World lost not a one in a decade, not one in a generation but a one in a Century player - he was that special. In fact, beyond special, because everyone knew they could never ever compete with him. Think of an athlete doing 1 hour 50 for the marathon as a guide.
Roy Keane and Sir Alex are the reasons why i loved the United. Not the same anymore. Greetz from Switzerland
It was his job.
For me, he is the gratest of all time. He made his teammates better, never gave up, scored goals, took the world on his shoulders. True and original captain fantstic
Without a doubt my favorite captain since I started following in -92. Was 12y when Cantona joined and I have never looked back.
Red 4 life✌😈👹
His passing was so underated, he zipped passes into forwards feet, through lines, rarely ever passed backwards, always looked to play forward. That fact sometimes get lost amidst his reputation of aggression.
I agree. He was a top footballer as well as a ball winner and enforcer. Clough had Keane in a more attacking role where Fergie had him mixing his game.
Brilliant player. Far more important and influential than Scholes
Like Busquets
Ask any world class manager if they want Keane in there team . Personality also a big factor
@@prometheustv6558 Busquets isn't even as good as Kante and Kante is no where near as good as Keane, what a joke. It's like comparing Pele to Peter Crouch.
Keane is one of the best midfielders in history, and possibly the best leader the game has ever seen. Great vid!!
Thanks! 100% agreed. What a leader this man was!
You are a man that knows about football and understands it. Keane is the best ever
He's far from one of the best midfielders, he 'only' did the simple things very well. Was an exceptional leader though.
D M Wayne Rooney has said keane has the best touch and passing range he’s ever seen
Maybe in the history of his home town.
99% of commentary on Keane focuses on his tackling, his enforcer role etc. I watched him many times and people forget how good he was at moving the ball, settling the tempo down, and allowing his team mates find positions to attack. He was brilliant in possession, almost always making the right choice with the pass.
True.
He was a higly intelligent players, besides being aggressive, but people only know about the aggressive part nowadays.
Keane just ran the show in his prime. His performances for Ireland during the 2002 WC qualifying were spectacular. LVG voted him #1 as best player in world that year afterwards when Ireland beat Holland. He knew his football too.
Been watching United since 1975, best player I’ve seen wear the shirt. Passion, commitment and will to win, he had no equal
Everybody speaks about his attitude and agressiveness, no body speaks about the footballing skills he possessed. Hard to find a player with such determination and skillset in today's world
His ability to find a simple forward pass and get the ball into the final third is sorely underrated.
Thats because he was not an outstanding player. If you look at that Manu team there were some great players that you can remember specific things they did in a match, how they were great at doing x or y. Keane was consistent did what needed to be done but he did not shine match after match. In fact he was often overshadowed by his team mates.
Didn't have a big Skillset, just did the imortant things well
I agree I find the closest thing to him today is henderson. A jack of all trades player but it’s his ability to keep everyone focused and the unselfish play that makes them stand out as great leaders. Keane even said Hendo would be a top player cause of his attitude when he managed him at Sunderland
@@watkinsrory did not shine match after match?? What bloody games were you watching? Or are you only impressed by step overs or goal numbers? Nobody was as impressive as Keane throughout that golden era
he was literally the manager ( at the time ) on the field, his command and expectations scared not only the opposition but his own team-mates. a true " captain "
Viera had his number though
@@wilkoten7829 Not according to Viera ...or Gerrard...or Lampard ,who all say that Keane is the best CM in Prem history
@@colloquialsoliloquy6391 not one of them ever said that.

It always surprises me when the Premiership's Best XI is voted for, and the endless debates ensue about which two of Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes should be in midfield. First of all, none of these played no. 4, without which, as England demonstrated over and over again, a team won't win anything. And second, for those of us who followed football in the 1990s, the best player of those years, the player who bestrode the Premiership like a colossus, whose own team mates were only slightly less scared of him than his opponents, who made the hard men in Serie A look like cry babies, who wasn't the most skillful or talented, who didn't score the most goals or make the most assists, but who everyone in Britain recognised as the outstanding player of his generation, who drove his club team onto success after success beyond their talents, and who would have made minced meat of today's candidates for Best ever Premiership Team - was Roy Keane. He regularly got the upper hand of Vieira, his only rival. Scholes, who was many times more talented, played in his shadow. Gerrard and Lampard were terrified of him. The great Zidane, who was the greatest player of that period, couldn't get the better of him. Arsenal hated his guts. Referees were bullied by him. And there's not a player in the Premiership today who could face him. I remember a newspaper article from the time comparing the treble-winning Manchester United team of 1999 to the great Liverpool teams of the 1980s, and while the marks of 8 and 9 were plentiful for both teams, one player from each side was marked 10. For Liverpool it was Dalglish; for Man United it was Keane. Yes, he's an arsehole and a borderline psychopath, and nobody wants to remember the extent to which he dominated the Premier League, which was second only to his manager and fellow psychopath, Alex Ferguson. But Keane was, quite easily, the best player in the history of the Premiership.
Legendary comment for the goat of premier league
Neither roy or ferguson were/are psychopaths.
the best player in the PL would not have a relegation from the PL on his record
@@andrewjohnston2850 what a stupid comment
@@michaeldonne561 but true
world class. Determination, passion, skill, and balls. He played his heart out every single match and while Alex Ferguson deserves credit as the greatest club manager ever.. Roy Keane was the engineer on the field during his times at Old Trafford.
he was world class in many respects
but id still say makelele or kante at their best were a cut above him in terms of pure skill
but roy made up for not being the most technically gifted with that awesome drive he had and he had consistency and longevity
See a lot of people talking about his aggression, determination and passion but nobody is talking about his supreme talent as a football, his passing was phenomenal (rarely giving the ball away) and his tackling. He is the best midfielder of his type the premier league has ever seen and he doesn't get enough credit for it. He was the best midfielder on the planet in terms of all round play between 98-2003.
Absolutely brilliant footballer.
Nah, Vieira and Makelele were better. Especially Makelele since both of them had similar playing style
@@PribumiNusantara45 Makelele was great, but he was a more limited and specialised player than Keane. As others have said, Vieira had comparable all-round ability but I don't think anyone else was similar from that era. It's completely wrong to think of Keane just as an enforcer or a tackler - he was the engine of the team going forward too, and a very smart and precise passer of the ball.
Gerard was also comparable when he came onto the scene, but was maybe the next generation. And he was a bit less tidy than Keane, I would say.
@@PribumiNusantara45 don't follow much football then
Keane's decision making was what set him apart.
@@PribumiNusantara456:35 City won the treble
Remember ladies and gentlemen Wayne Rooney played with Paul Scholes for most of his career and with Roy Keane for two years where Keane was way past his prime. However Keane was still the best passer and player he’s ever played with. Standards.
Bullsh!t scholes had some of the greatest long passing ever
@@ruijackson7697 yeah he did you’re right. But this isn’t my words it’s Rooney’s words. Search it up there’s even videos of him saying it. Someone who’s actually played with both players.
Beckham was a great long passer. Probably had the longest passing range.
@@ruijackson7697 long passing doesnt always mean a good pass. Rooneys words on keanes passing were pretty much that it was always firm, the right pace, easy to control, always the right side of the receiver. I would add that more often than not they were forward too
Well Rooney is completely wrong.
Goes underrated for his ability and quality on the ball, because he was such an animal too. Legend Roy Keane, was a pleasure watching him growing up
Before this starts, I'm hoping he goes into how under appreciated Keano was for his technique and athletic ability. People leave that out to talk about his mental strength, ball winning and work ethic. This man had a clean first touch and passed and shot very well. It was the creative passing and vision that he lacked compared to Scholes, but the touch and pass was always good with Keano, along with having excellent stamina and balance, as well as decent pace, agility and strength. Great player. We need a player like him right now.
Originally from Ireland? When your from Ireland you can’t be from anywhere else.
Dude sounds South African
I think it's because everyone wants to be from Ireland. Even American presidents boast about having a distant ancestor.
Man he's been a lot of different places and left when he was very young get the rod out of your arse.
Some people don't know what specific country in the British Isles players are from when they come through the English Club system. Also some people choose to play for a country other than the one of their birth. Not Keane of course but many other. Of course some of the best and most exciting British Isles players were not from England or did not play for England even if they qualified. Ryan Giggs, Kenny Dalgliesh, Mark Hughes, Ian Rush, Pat Jennings, Dennis Law and of course George Best to name just a few. I am sure I have missed many other legends but I think I covered at least one from each of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic
Originally from a pub in Ireland
One of the very best of all time , never give the ball away ,great reader of the game, mobile, good tackle and kept it simple . Scored important goals and a great captain .
Summed him up perfectly!
To add to that. Not just simple. He knew how to play a line breaking pass quickly when needed. A lot of midfielders nowadays just show off with their passing range when they don't need to do it, but when it matters they don't know how to play the right pass.
Keane kept it simple most of the time, but had the intelligence and vision to hurt the opponent with his passing when needed.
He'd would also make great late runs into the box and score, I'd say he was a very very good finisher.. You could probably play him as a box to box next to a DM and he would score you a lot of goals, but he was mainly that DM.
Great football brain, great competitive brain overall, and a great athlete to execute all that.
Did you ever see him play? He gave the ball away all the time?????????????????????????
@@andylikesstuffchannel hater
@@doomshroom8166 I'm a hater of rubbish fictional stories about a player I saw playing for my football team for a decade + you kids don't have a clue you watch clips of games and think you know hoe these players played well guess what you don't
One of my all time favourite players. And I realized it after he retired. Modern Football is missing players like Keane. He brought flavour and tension to every game. It was a pleasure to watch him. Just as it is now pleasure to watch him as a pundit. His personality brings the best out of everyone.
Souness was a better midfield general!
Nah, diferent era, but same kind of player. Both exceptional at what they did and what they did is what you need to be a superb team. @@kennethelliot4152
Keane once said "don't allow everyone else to bring you down to their level, bring everyone else up to yours" he was unreal
A prime Roy Keane (25 years old) if he was available on the market would be an easy $175m. you'd get 10 seasons of top level competition out of him.

*There's only one Keano*

Best comment on this video yet. Wel saod Sir
How is he the last of a dying breed if there’s only one?
The Attitude Era of Football. That is such a perfect way of putting it. As a fan of Pro-Wrestling for over 21 years and lifelong Man Utd Fan, I really appreciate that.
If Keane had of played in the world Cup 2002, who knows how far Ireland should have gone.
The best midfielder the world will ever see. A legend.
I think about this far too often.
I completely agree!!!
Sorry mate driven as Keene was Scholes is the best midfielder there has ever been and I can go back to Franz Beckenbaur who probably is his equal and that my friend is esteemed company.
Best midfielder. 😂😂
@@EliasRoy99-01 he was hands down the best midfielder in European football. He was best midfielder in England for a decade.

@@samshorto5433 I just spent 10 minutes reading that 😂😂😂. But at least now I know the truth. 😎
For me that was an Epic tackle ... haaland deserve that !! Period
I'd pay 200mil for Keane nowadays. Imagine his impact on a modern dressing room. Might actually see some players that want to win every ball.
Rashford and sancho would cry on social media about it before saying anything in person to him
I'm a Liverpool fan and always will be. But when I was playing football with my club. I would watch Roy Keane especially. I would watch how he got the ball and quick passes he would get free inside the box and get really important goals. It does not matter what club Roy played for its the way he wanted to win was why i watched and tried to learn. He was the best passer of the ball in my opinion. Made the game look so bloody easy that it really is. Steven Gerrard was great but if I was asked who was the best I'd pick Roy Keane all day long. And I bet you even Steven Gerrard would say Roy wad the guy he would look at for clues to play good. Now he is a pundit and people watch and listen and even look up you tube to learn how he made a difficult game look easy. He was able to run all game pass all game and make himself tough. There 3 things you need to succeed. So he was brilliant 👏
Brillaintly put together 👏🏻
I think young players and generations should be watching more videos (or games because there aren't many Keane highlights out there) of Keane and stop wa*king on Scholes, Pirlo, Xavi etc because, let's face it 99,9% can't play like them and yet they still want too.
Keane was a very simple player, but a world class one too, because he knew what to do at the right time.
As a CFC fan I think he was the best, baddest, most dominant midfielders ever! He was the heart and soul of the team and you could see him driving the team on every game. A true icon and role model for any young player..... and he is the most enjoyable commentator around today ;-)
That 98/99 season United were on another level. It all just came together for a team of very talented players
With Roy driving them only him
He was a different class. I can't remember a bad game. Unbelievable player and person.
im a scousser fan (fan of liverpool fc) but I have several friends who are fans of united,and thus Ive built up much praise for Keane over the years! and I think this clip rocks! I find it of quality as high as raymar`s work! but find the speakers accent here much more appropriate, (if raymy cs this just kno I still luv ur work)
He was a great leader, i love his comments on sky. I love that fact that he is cheeky enough to have digs at people when he's really not that serious and people don't realize it. Cracks me up.
He shows up modern television for the pc constipated, humourless and monologue inducing cesspit it has become.
@@paddypenman2682 ditto the modern game. Personally I'm fast falling out of love for it
He's some banter. He just rips the mick out of everyone.
@@barryb90 that's his job.
United won the treble with Keane in the middle. Every great team needs a player controlling the tempo and Keane was that player. BBC pundit Alan Hansen, when asked stated, "Keane would be my first name on the Man Utd team sheet.'"
His leadership, passing, drive and effort puts him on that team sheet first ahead of players with high skill levels.
He was incredible. United have to play two players in the centre of the park to try to do the job he did on his own and even then they aren't capable. He would run games with his passing, protect the defence with his tackling, and control the whole tempo of the team. As I say, United play two players in the position he occupied, and together they can't control the temp, control the game or protect the defence. He was a monster of a footballer.
You don't find players like him today. That endless passion he had, its non existent in the current era. Putting a price on that is hard. He would raise the performance of the whole team and get the best out of them. You hardly find that these days...
@Peppa Pig PESSImissT cr7 is the complete opposite of Keane. Selfish and unmotivated when things go against him.
@@phase_1471 not really if anything one of Ronaldo's driving forces is often to turn things around to prove those who hate and mock him wrong. Look at the come back hat trick against Atletico for example. The man has an incredible work ethic ever since he was a little boy and has incredible tenacity and dedication. The idea that he is unmotivated and easily gives up at the face of adversity is ridiculous. The man is famous for many clutch goals that snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. He is an extremely passionate player love or hate him.
@@masterplokoon8803 CR7 is always about himself not his team, and it backfires at times, that's why the other guy said what he said
@@elijahojo1286 that is not true , that is just some caricature that some haters online and some crappy journalists made up.

Cheers, brother!
Hard as nails. Gifted. Would go through a wall for you on will power alone. Keane had it all.
Just discovered this channel and absolutely love it. Keep up the good work! Oh, and Keane was a Legend 🙌 I was at the game when he got his 'revenge' and the roar from the crowd was like a goal was scored when he made that challenge. He will forever remain in the hearts of United fans as the standard for a player and captain. There's only one Keano 🎶
Roy played with all his heart and soul, the very things that are missing from today's football!
Someone should make our current spineless midfield watch this video on what it is to play for the this badge
Roy Keane was very good! Take it from someone who watched him throughout his career! He was our engine! Won us many games with his sheer will! United legend !
Keane was a tremendous player, with courage, effort and that never say die attitude. If you didn't pull your weight, he let you know. My late father in law used to say, "That bloody Roy Keane, what a player."
Keano God of God's when it comes to having it out in the middle of the park there's only one man who stands above the rest and that is Roy Keane simply the best
Denis Irwin though. Any reviews of this guys career? Stunning player. Ireland was blessed to have had the players we did have back then. And Keano always did his job, in fairness. ;)
I'm an AC Milan fan but I remember how good roy keane was and how good he was is world fucking class. Probably my favourite non Milan player I miss. Some people compare him to gattuso because of his volatility but he was so so much more than that, great passer could dominate games, best captain iv ever seen even better than maldini as a captain. Its a pitty he didn't get a second chance at appearing in the champions league final and he is known throughout Europe for his qualities but maybe not as much is south America etc because his lack of world cup appearances. If he had stayed with Ireland in 2002 world cup I think Ireland could have done very well.
At his best (late 90s to 2003) keane was probably one of the best players in the world, I can't emphasis how good of a player he was and he was the main reason that united team won what they did,
I hope that answers your question haha
Cheers for the answer! Yeah he was pheonomenal in his day. I believe the main reason that many of those United players from the early 2000s/late 90s aren't as celebrated globally is because so many didnt perform on the international stage.
You know football properly. You understand the game. Reason why, you understand Keane... the man won everything for united. The one season he was our in 97 98 they won NOTHING. Comes back from the cruciate.... a Treble
@@johnnytwomey1814 Wow. That’s a significant fact. Man Utd won nothing in 1997/8 season.
Keane is simplicity personified, he did the simple stuff incredibly well. his real genius though is the ability to direct and enforce constant performance on the field, anyone dropped below the bar keane was ready to tell you, Class player.
He never gave less than 100% and he never gave the ball away. A true legend. Man U have never been able to replace him.
Roy Keane and Vinnie Jones were my idols growing up, somehow me trying to adopt their style wasn’t really appreciated in Dutch amateur football 🤣
You have to read the room 😂😂😂
That 4 man midfield with centre scholes+keane and wingers giggs+beckham/cr7 was so godlike.
Ronaldo hardly played with keane?
@@andylikesstuffchannel Keane played 2 years with Ronaldo. The rest with becks. Hence the /
@@ricoriley1321 he was injured most of it if you were actually old enough to watch those games and not some CZcams mufc wanna be fan you would know that but CZcams is full of pretend fans who think they know what they are talking about and put videos up like this with clips saying how good he was when they don't have a clue
@@andylikesstuffchannel I said they were godlike together. I didnt said they played a long time with each other. You dont have a clue how old i am, but it sounds like you know me very well? Without reason you think i am a mufc fan? You really trying to be a smartass while your arguments dont make any sense. And then you start being offensive too? You have no logic.
@@ricoriley1321 I'm no smart arse I'm just sick of Internet wannabes barking about things they don't have a clue about I've been a United fan sinse I was 8 been to see them on numerous occasions every year apart from this one and all I see on CZcams is bollocks from people who don't have a clue. Yeah and I was a fan before Fergie was even the manager
He’s the reason I became man Utd fan back then . The times when man Utd totally dominate games and camp in opposition half . Breathtaking ..
I'm an Arsenal fan but have always admired Roy Keane he was amazing and such a presence on the pitch. A true LEGEND
I needed this video!!Thanks❤️🙏🏾
Minor correction - Notts Forest did not reply to his letter. They were actually scouting someone else on the other team and stumbled onto him by chance.
"Notts"???..
Behave!!
@@cyrilrogan4069 haha my apologies bud. Did some reading there and will refrain from calling them that again!
When football was played by true men.
... Look at his passion towards the game ... He would die for his team.... That's the spirit we miss nowadays
[It's an Irish thing , you would not understand the Irish passion , especially if not from Cork!.
That tackle on Haaland can’t have been as serious as the one he did on Keane Haaland was seen playing a few days later Keane was off for ages People should get their facts right 😡☘️
Real men = Brainless aggressive caveman?
Really enjoyed the video dude! Keane was awesome, work ethic everything. 1 of my favourite 2 watch interviews with atm.
Roy Keane was a fantastic football player - he contributed a huge amount on every level for Manchester United. Great video btw. Cheers 🍻
As much as I dislike United. You have to admire the relentless determination to win that they had. Never gave up, always gave it 100% until the final whistle and had the winning attitude teams need to succeed.
And that treble season epitomised what Fergie's United was all about and that never give in attitude with all the comebacks and last minute goals all season long.
Keane was a powerhouse and would be the biggest single reason for Man U's many league titles. The guy was relentless, fearless and dominated the field. He did not have the skill of a Zidane but he surpassed him in many other regards.
Ferguson was the single biggest reason for Man Utd's success.
At what exactly did he pass Zidane? Coaching? Individual Awards? Titles?
An Iconic player for Manchester United, & Ireland. A player that made the most from his abilities, great first touch, passing was excellent & what an engine Uncle Roy had. I used to buy the match of the day magazine in the late' '90s, he was premier league player for 3/4 season. Players must have thought Roy's here, we're spotty dog. Thanx for the memoirs Roy. Manchester United Legend, & always will be. ✌️🤘

Good video, first time watching, enjoyed it alot
Great video! good to see someone giving Roy his due.
If Keane was English or Spanish you'd never hear the end of him. Because he's Irish he never had the support of the English media overhyping their players like Scholes, Gerrard and Lamoard
I think he got plenty of credit over the years. Scholes was also a bit overlooked by the English media. But then if you just go by what the media says you are nothing thinking for yourself.
@@respectedgentleman4322 scholes was overlooked because he came about 10 years too early in terms of footballing style. In a flat 442, keane and butt was a far better option for united and scholes missed out on a lot of big games
Keane got absolutely bummed by pundits on TV. They thought he was the best player in the league for about 5 years, and so did most viewers. Stop talking shit
This from a City fan Thanks Liam You’re honest 👍🏼🤩🙏🏽☘️☘️
Complete bollocks
I have my signed Keane shirt in my front room and its my proudest possession. Always reminds me to fight hard, never back down, and never give up.
As a Liverpool supporter I hated Keane! But after he left I analysed his game alot More! Leader, Never gave the ball away, Passing through the lines, Stamina/Fitness, Tackles, Box to Box, Good finisher, Headers(at Goal) Just A Quality All Round Midfielders that We Don't Get these days!! Cheers and Another Great upload
Roy Keane was the best Ballon D'or that never was!!
Xavi,Iniesta??
no that title will always belong to thierry henry
Henry for forward, Iniesta for midfield and Maldini for defence.
Roy is below these 3.
@@mridulkc4010 Very good arguments tbf. As is the other 2 replies.
All deserve at least 1 each. Paul Scholes is another.
Suarez, Neymar > Henry
One of the best of all time. Really good video. Well done.
Wish we had him back, all our other greats have been replaced over the years.. Bruce and pallister < rio and vidic, Beckham < Ronaldo, Giggs < Rashford and so on. Nobody will replace what Keane brought to us.. Ever!!
How aggressive he was over shadows how good of a player he was. Great technique a great eye for goal but he didn't have to score goals in that Man U team. His determination was unquestioned his passing range was 1st class, heading, ball winning & his drive. Unbelievable player
He was a great player in his younger days. Then he grew an ego and developed his hard man persona
Best midfielder Man U ever had. Put that man in any top 5/6 team in his era and they would win trophies. Guarantee you that.
My favorite midfielder ever!!! The game misses a player and a leader like Roy
Roy Keane was and will always be my favorite player and in his prime in today's market I'm sure that he would not go for any less than 120 million, the greatest ever
Love his no messing punditry too. To the point, everyone is in no doubt about what he thinks, And he has earned that right from his playing days. Many others opinions don't matter, but when Roy talks you listen. He knows what he is on about and his work ethic was second to none.
Most underrated player of all time !!!
I really love the production quality on this my man. Really good work. Keep it up!
Keano was the Hart and sole of United in today's market he'd be worth over 100 million easily
My uncle was a teacher in his secondary school. He remembers Roy being a small kid but with the most gritty determination ever when playing sports. Had he not played soccer, he may have been a boxer or a GAA player.
Great vid! Keep up the good work and people will discover your channel 👍🏼
Simply the man the leader the winner the captain the one
I've found this channel and binged so hard. I've learned a ton and I love how you honor the watchers of your channel and creatively ask for likes. Bravo sir well done.
This is a great review!
Love the video man, keep going!
Born leader , short tempered , warrior, scary and world class footballer every qualities to be the best midfielder and one of the best captain football ever had .
He gave his all, and that was a hell of Alot,, plus he brought out the best of his team mates, without doubt one of the best midfielders ever.
Keano’s passion and grit determination are what United team now and since his days have seriously lacked. We never replaced him in truth.
