th1stleandr0se Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I actually think Roy Keane is more understanding than he lets on I can't make up my mind whether he's playing the part to sell the books or not. On balance I think he is actually a bit of a nasty, based on some of the stuff on the field and in the tunnels and dressing rooms, but I can't help warming to him. We need characters like him.

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 That Savage quote has me in tears everytime I read it. Imagining Keane's face when he hears him shout "Whazzzzuuuuupppp" down the phone I pictured him holding the phone at arms length and staring at it with a thoroughly disgusted look on his face.

H_B Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I love the fact that Gordon Strachan utterly owned him. Quotes here: Real Madrid offered me a year and a half. Emilio Butragueno made the call and said ‘Roy, we’ll be glad to have you’. “I met David Moyes at his house and was impressed with what he wanted for Everton. “When a club is interested the manager generally sells it to you. “I met Gordon Strachan in London at Dermot Desmond’s house. Gordon told me ‘I’m not really worried if you sign for us or not. We’re okay without you.’ So I said to myself ‘F*** him, I’m signing’ “When I phoned Gordon at the end of the season to tell him I was going to have to call it a day because of my hip Gordon went ‘All right, it’s for the best’. And I was saying to myself ‘Try and persuade me, for f***’s sake. At least pretend’.” Yep. I like how he's indignant at Strachan, when he was proven completely right.

Yip, definitely not an absolute w****r then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 A quote from Roy (loyal to former team mates)Keane a couple of years ago ....... It doesn't bother me too much what he has to say about me but to constantly criticise other players at the club who brought him a lot of success, I find very, very strange … I just don't think the manager needs to do that. "I'm not sure how many books he has written now but he has to draw the line eventually to say: 'Listen, these players have all been top servants to Man United.' And a lot of these players helped the manager win lots of trophies, so imagine if we never won a trophy what he would have said. We brought success to the club, we gave it everything we had when we were there. It's just part of modern life now that people like to do books and criticise their ex-players."

KnightswoodBear Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I'm about halfway through this and I'm really enjoying it. I'm not usually a big fan of footballers books either. To be honest, he doesn't miss a few folk in it but it seems to me he's harder on himself at times than others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
