Keane would have initially come to most peoples attention as a young midfielder playing for Nottingham Forest under Brian Clough, he was known as a strong box to box player who tackled and scored goals (22 in 114 games), eventually he realised he needed to move on to improve his chances of winning trophies following relegation and although he agreed a deal to sign for ... more

It would be so sad if Roy Keane was to leave Sunderland because he has done so well since taking over from now chairman Niall Quinn last season. The team played amazingly well last season and ripped the championship apart with their free flowing football and attacking flair, which lead them to the title and automatic promotion. Although making many top quality signings this term including Djibril Cisse, El Hadje Diouf, Pascal Chimbonda and Steed Malbranque in addition to the already strong first team squad at the Stadium of Light, the team have struggled and now find themselves in the bottom three. Keane is clearly very passionate about his football, but in ...  Read the complete review

Welcome to my humble opinion!! Before you begin, I feel I must remind you I'm a Liverpool fan through and through, but this isn't going to be a typical scouse opinion slagging the great man off, I'm going to be objective believe it or not! Roy Maurice Keane was born in Cork on the 10th October 1971, which makes him 30 for all of those people out there who can't add up. I know nothing about his childhood and, to be completely honest, couldn't be bothered to find anything out, so I will go straight onto his football career. He was originally thought too small to play professional football and so set upon improving his physique by getting ...  Read the complete review
