He let Ireland down when we needed him 😡
@@glengathousethink The irish Fa let Ireland down and Roy was standing up for Ireland. Are you someone who sits and talks or stands and fights ??? The greatest Irish men stood up for more and that's what Roy did so "feck off"
I've been a Man Utd fan for 40 years now. I've seen a lot of great players come and go. But Roy Keane was the only player that made me cry when he left the club.
Becks was bigger news
Cr7?
@@J1122Keane is a bigger United Legend
@@JPhilocypher he's in my FIFA squad snm
@@HealthyHappyThankfulno chance, United fans aren't CR7 fans, we don't care what a player has done at another club we care about their impact at United and Keane had a much bigger impact at United than CR7 ever did, he's considered as United's greatest ever captain for a reason.
One thing about Keane that always gets overlooked....his first touch and short passing were immaculate. He never gave the ball away.
Agreed mate. There’s technical players around him to do the fancy stuff. Probably the best in the world at the time at doing the simple stuff and keeping the game ticking. His attitude towards the game was elite as well. Can’t really coach that, so that makes him one of a kind in my eyes. And I’m a Leicester fan who didn’t even like him in his playing days haha
100% agree
@spiffydaily8855 Would you believe he used to get dogs abuse from Irish TV sports pundits for playing too many simple passes. I remember Johnny Giles and Frank Stapleton both being critical of him about this. They were always saying he wasn't world class because he wasn't making enough assists. I think they saw in Keane a rival to their own past greatness and wanted to put him down.
@@killbotone6210 I completely believe it. I suppose in a Man Utd team full of flashy gits, it’s probably easy to see Keane as the weak link in that regard? But imho, you have to appreciate him for what he’s there for. That said, was he ever really appreciated before he was gone? Lots of players seem to be labelled as world class these days, but it’s usually once they’re gone!
He had a god like piece of control v Bayern away.
Schmeichel ,facing his own goal had to hoof a back pass straight up into the air ,so high that it floated enough to drop into the left wing where Keane was.
Elber ,seeing this , started to press but immediately gave up with a slump when Keane dragged down the ball ,swiveled and successfuly passed forward ,in one motion.
Ball didn't touch the ground, it's in the Roy Keane passing compilation.
Everyone talks about Roy the way Roy talks about Dennis Irwin 😂
They should have a statue of keane at old Trafford most successful captain ever at the club
Need a Cantona one as well
They where almost invincible
It was blood, sweat and tears from Keano. I used to get pumped up just watching Keano coming onto the pitch.. focused, grit and determination writ all over his face… no time for niceties.
Even as a Liverpool fan you cant help but love roy keane
Love was very strong word...he has become less hated and somewhat likeable later years.....
Why?
As a United fan for 56 years, Roy Keane would be my first name on the team sheet of my all time United best team
I would tend to say Duncan Edwards - but perhaps that was before your time.
That’s a bold statement, what about George?
1958 I started supporting United now 72 he would be my first on the sheet
Same here, I saw Robson in his pomp and he’d be close second . Only going from 1972, didn’t see any before that
Robbo for me with the extra goals. But what a two to choose from.
As a swede I was never ever worried when being drawn against England in the euros or world cup. But if Roy Keane was born in England you would probably have won euro 92, gone far in world cup in 94,win 96 and 2000.
This is a good way to see what a difference a hard working Irishman will do for a team. If his name is Roy Keane you have arrived at the top of the mountain. As a Milan fan there I have somebody to compare this man to who are just as crazy. Gennaro Gattuso and Roy Keane, the two only world class tough guys that every team mate loves!
Cristiano Ronaldo also said Keane was the best captain he ever had & that he helped him develop into the player he became
For me Keane is on the top 20 of all time. I am portuguese and a Man United and Benfica fan since i can remember. I remember and love alot of players that played there, but Keane and Scholes were on other level. A short skinny artist guy and a psico killer protecting him 😂 it was fun to watch . Great memories 😊
Great video, brought back very good memories. Thanks 👍
Of all the players I've seen in my almost 50 years of supporting United, prime Keano is the player this current team could do with the most. Read the game well, positionally sound, strong defensively, very rarely gave the ball away, bossed the middle of the park, a true leader, determined, passionate, demanded 100% from everyone on the team, high energy, covered box to box, and popped up with a good number of goals and assists. In essence, everything this current team isn't.
He would do as a sub for Bryan Robson. The game didn't start with tge Premier league
@marktaylor5722 Thanks, I'm well aware that the game didn't start before PL, having watched it since the early '70s, but for me Keano still just edges Robbo (as much as I loved him) - though I'd happily have both in the current midfield.
As much as Keane is #1 on the teamsheet, current team is absolutely dying for any of Ruud, Rooney, Yorke, Ole, RvP, hell I'd take Forlan, just someone to stick it in the onion bag!
I think half the team would quit within a week if keano was captain, the shock they would be in for is unreal!
@@marktaylor5722sub if they were playing cricket maybe. He's the best midfielder ever to play for united.
Probably the most underrated "footballer". People think he was hard, aggressive and a leader. He was all of those things but for those of us lucky enough to watch him for united for many years also realise this man could play. He could pass, he scored important goals, he put his body on the line. He was a much better player than a lot of people give him credit for. Would be my first name on any team sheet
Never been a United fan , but Keane is a legend, a fooking
field Marshall 👊🏽😎
Roy Keane was a player that everyone who wasn't a Man U fan loved to hate and give stick to, but, given the choice, would've loved him to be in their team. Quality player. wish he had played for the Toon.
Same my man. As a toon fan hated the prick. But I love the guy now and if we'd of signed him we would of won the league in the 90s
Greatest United ever had.Its not unusually to have a player that gives it his all but keane got the best out of everyone he drove the team on like no other player could do.
Keane and Scholes really was the dream combo... really suited one another! And Giggs on the left, Beckham on the right... bloody hell!
It was like a boy band with four distinguished characters
@@BinhNguyen-qm5ji lol don’t know how they hell they let Roy Keane in 😂😳 he must have been the one who could actually hold a tune 👍
No one will ever have that passion again for the game . True leader
No one? Ever? Big words.
Almost invincible like Vieira

Greatest captain the Premier league has ever seen. God how utd could do with a player like him now.

Stevie Gerrard says hello 👋🏼
@@theguvnor2695lmao Gerrard wouldn't say boo to a ghost 😂
@@theguvnor2695 how many Premier League titles did Slippy G win again??? 🤣🤣🤣
@MrBounce66 He is 100% the best United Captain. Its not even a competition. Who are you even thinking about?
Amazing how all the best players of his era named him as the best including Gerrard and he was the leader of the greatest team, but he is not considered as the best in the media. If he had been English England would have won 2 major trophies and he would be seen as the greatest without question. Because he is Irish he is not. Every player has different traits and his traits were unique which elevated him above the rest. Without a doubt the best player in PL history.
Roy Keane is highly rated. Obviously English Media is going to talk about English players, specially since players like Stevie and Lampard are more recent. I am pretty sure the media of your country talks about your players and not Steven Gerrard.
Part of makes him Roy Keane is the fact he is Irish though. You still make a decent point though.
HI, I AM FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪 ROY DEFINITELY WAS A BRILLIANT PLAYER 👏 ,I WILL SAY HE WAS A HARD,MAN ON THE PITCH, ALSO HE BECAME THE MAN HE WAS BECAUSE HE HAD BRILLIANT PLAYERS AROUND HIM THAT MADE HIM THE PLAYER HE WAS,AND THEY DESERVE MORE FOR MAKING ROY THE PLAYER HE WAS BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND HIM,SO THANKS TO ALL THOSE LADS .THAT MADE MANCHESTER UNITED THE BRILLIANT TEAM THEY WERE. FABULOUS ALSO FABULOUS ALSO BRILLIANT. ❤🎉😢😮
THANKS.
A traitor to his county
Even Cillian Murphy mentions him. That tells you how much he's admired.
He was almost invincible like Vieira
@tevildo45 The greatest player the country has ever produced. The traitors were those who stuck by whilst a non Irish Manager kicked Keane out of our team.....disgrace
We need another video of this type with other legends of the game! Great video
Cheers!
@@footballuncontext1166could you do one on Tony Adams at all. He's a legend too
The most important player to have ever played in this country. Others may have had more ability but he had enough to be a true great because for him it was more his mentality and football intelligence that set him apart.
Hum....that sounds woke talk to me
@@daverannJesus Christ, please tell me you’re either a bot or joking around……..! What the fuck does that comment have to do with being ‘woke’
He was almost invincible like Vieira
I've heard that story from Kammy before,but what a great way to finish that clip 😂
Roy Keane the Legend 👏❤
Legend...We love you kid 🇮🇪💪
If Keane was English playing in the England national team I believe they would have had two world cups. His leadership and will to win would have put them over the line.
Agree but Bryan Robson was the closest thing to him if he wasn’t injured so much for England
Nah not even with Messi 😂
There's no way, too many of our players were busy injuring each other in the prem league.
If Keane had played in the world cup for Ireland we might have won one too 😅. C'est la vie.
If England had more faith in Matt Le Tissier, you would have won a major trophy.
Keane was an amazing player
What an exceptional footballer! He was never afraid to stick to him principles and demanded the best from everyone be it on the pitch or the commentary box
Roy Keane was all of this but also a baller. Great first touch, never lost possession easily or misplacing passes. Tackling master and also great decision making when in the box. Closest to the complete player imo
Add the boss Stevie G to that

United’s most important player & one of( if the greatest player) the greatest players in United golden erea
'Roy always kept you on your toes' I'm starting to think Scholesy is obsessed
Man utd had some great players over the years but Roy keane for me is the best player I've seen at utd never gave the ball away ever gave Zidane a lesson against juventes in the second leg champions league
Stop exaggerating - Keane himself said he couldn't do a thing with Zidane.
@ngc-fo5te yeah only walk all over him in the semifinal that night how do you think they got through
@mayopower3372 Go and watch Keanes comments about playing Zidane.
Also when you state Keane never gave the ball away - I have to ask, why are you lying?
You haven't got a clue
@mayopower3372 Says the kid who states Keane never gave the ball away. Again, are you just lying?
You kids today need to stop stating lies and stop using the word great too easily.
And for the 3rd time - go listen to Keanes comments about how he struggled against Zidane.
Roy was standing behind the camera in all of these interviews 😂
People talk about Roy Keane as an inspirational captain, a winner and a leader but I still think people underrate him as an actual player. Utd broke the transfer record to sign him from a relegated club for a reason, he was the best young central midfield player in the country at the time. He transitioned from an attacking midfielder to a box to box and then to a DM. He could play RM, CB and RB without any problems. He was exceptional.
Talk about warrior, determination, fierce does him little service. His reading, passing, positional and the only player ever physically able to turn a match when things were going wrong were his greatest strengths
Fan since the 80's. Still my captain of captains and probably forever will be.
One of the greatest players ever. Most important player in our most successful period
100% agree
@@footballuncontext1166You two need to think rationally.
@ngc-fo5te He was definitely Utd most important player during the late 90s and early 00s. Beckham come close, Scholes comes close, Schmeichel comes close, but for me, he has to be the most important.
@@ryanergo754 No mention of Giggs?
Whenever i see Roy Keane, you dont need to have a great talented nor skills to be a great player when you have the mentality and all you think is about Winning the game and if you are willing to give everything you got to Win it.
😊
That video was top class the story Chris Kamara was telling iam still laughing at 😂
He is the name that first comes when i hear man united. Even now.
My favourite captain 🙌🏽
Best leader ever ! He would have been the best at ANYTHING he chose to do.... joiner/selling fruit/running a business/mechanic.... A propper stand up example of a man !
He wad almost invincible like Vieira
Always had the team ahead of his own personal glory. You wouldn’t catch roy trying to lift the European cup with a full kit on despite not playing a second of the final.
MYSELF I AM IRISH, AND FULL OF PRIDE FOR THE, ABSOLUTELY 💯 BRILLIANT 💯 👏 COMPLETED WORDS, FROM THE BEST 👌 PLAYERS IN THE WORLD 🌎. THANKS FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪. ❤🎉
Keane is the best prem player ever...proper legend 🙌
😂😂😂😂
He wad almost invincible like Vieira
Brilliant video. I would choose Roy Keane all day long. No messing manager and takes no prisoners. Legend of a midfielder and passion over money 👍
I think the emergence of Paul Scholes in the last ten years as an underrated player has made Keane criminally underrated. He was by far United's best midfielder until his final game in the shirt. Everyone talks about the 99 Champions League final and how we were terrified that Keane wasn't playing he was that important. But Scholes was out for that final too and it's not mentioned. Keane was top 5 in the ballon d'Or that year even though he missed the biggest game.
Imagine what that man would be worth now??? Priceless
Keane is warrior. If I could bring 1 player back it would be him!
Rooney would be a close 2nd to bring back but we need a Keane right now
Roy Keane roomed with Denis Irwin. Both from Cork. Both were fantastic players too!
Great leader best that you can get man u now needs someone like Roy hard an no nonsense i saloot him the best
Absolutely banging Stone Roses sound track too. Iykyk.
Does anyone know from which documentary the first clip of ryan giggs is from?
Liverpool fan here, but all the b.s aside, Roy Kane was one of the best ever CM's to play the game (let alone in a Man U shirt.
Absolute weapon keano
Roy keane and zinnadine zidane in the centre will be devastating for any football team
United have never been the same since they lost him as captain
legend
"Stalker."
- D. Irwin
Crazy to me that both Ole and Giggsy picked Keano not only in their "best ever" teams, but the absolute first name on the team sheet. He was made for Old Trafford the lad !
Stone roses 'hidden track' in the background...✊💙
Was wondering what that was - was that the one that was something like track 90 on the Second Coming?
1st game I went to in 1974, Old Trafford. Since that day I've never seen anybody as good as Keane. '99 in Juve, he dragged the team by rhe scruff in f the neck, even realising the Final was now impossible. True Great..
Roy is the player, leader that all United players need to aspire being .........winner, he cares!
Imagine if every club had a player like keane still, proper football man didnt care about money just winning
This day an age I dont think you'll find a player like him
Keane was a one off. There was no one like him back then either
Cantona said Roy would be his team any day
If we do have a Roy Keane in our current team, we will never be hammered the way we did against Man City, Liverpool, or Arsenal. We will be fighting to win the league every seasons.
One of Ireland's best ever. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
100%, with up there with Robbie, McGrath and Given, but for me Keano’s the best Irish player ever.
@@footballuncontext1166 it's close, But I would go for Georgie Best though.

Never heard of Liam Brady, Johnny Giles, Ronnie Whelan, Paul McGrath?
Rory was an engine. I kept everyone working hard because he worked hard.
it's all about winning and making the winning plays and leading by example in that. Keano was exactly like that
Obviously all his teammates considered him a legend. Pity his manager threw him out when he didn’t need him anymore
That ruthlessness made Sir Alex one of the very best. Even Roy admitted it was time to go.
@@no.6259 I didn’t say he wasn’t one of the best. But he was definitely ruthless and Keane can’t stand his guts
Kean + Cantona ......Perfect .......the benchmark for today!
Great player, great grudge holder.
Solid 🪨
Kean and Cantona where good bad boys. Great captains.
There's not one player on the planet nowadays with half the passion and commitment to the game anymore.
Kammy at the end🤣🤣🤣
I remember that interview with Ian Wright and the cardboard cutout of Sol Campbell 😂
Keane is actually the greatest Prem Midfielder. Biggest talisman in Utd most successful period
Without Keane Man U never woukd have been as good 👍
Best player ever
Idolise this man!
Lmao the last story is brilliant 😂😂😂
Yep keane world class amazing skill ability beat a player cross a ball scoring record vision complete player ill never forget the game he played a one touch pass 1 2 ran length of pitch beat last defender smashed it top corner when that happened please tell me the game because i forgot
United (my team) have had some great players, really great players, but I wonder whether their gradual slide into what to be honest is playing pretty ordinary football didn't begin when Fergie retired in 2013 but a little earlier, in 2005, when Roy Keane left 'by mutual consent'.
From what I hear Fergie had some reason started to take against him - Roy's habit of always speaking his mind did not help, there was no side to Keane - and that was it. United lost a great player but more than that a great inspiration to the other players.
your a united fan but u dont know the story ? really? the team got pumped at boro and it was keanes turn to do the interview for MUTV afterwards,he threw all his teamates under the bus naming many of them,fergie got wind of it and stopped it being broadcast,he called a team meeting and the whole squad including keane watched the interview back,fergie and keane had a shouting match then everyone went home,fergie announced at training the next day that keane would never play for the club again,he soon left for celtic,nobody messes with sir alex
Kammy is undefeated, only a proud smoggie says that to Keane!
irwin about keane changing channrls, brilliant 😂
In my opinion, the greatest player Man Utd ever had
What would the Irish management learned from this experience pre Saipan!! Always prepared.
Cool video
its old...he stole this
Maybe the greatest ever player. Doubt it? Right, what do youGreatest player ever for me. Doubt it? Right, what do you want when your team takes the park? To win. True box to box legend. There have been very few players in history who have been able to do that. Close to never responsible for a goal conceded. Close to never gave the ball away. Great passer. Brilliant tackler. Bossed the midfield. In the toughest of games he would always come through for you. Man of the match in he vast majority of games he played. Improved the performance/contribution of every player around him (not quantifiable what that gives you). Never allowed standards to slip. Best captain ever. Scored a huge number of goals for a midfielder (that was a box to box player so spent a lot of time in defense). Drive off the charts. Just would not accept defeat as a possible outcome. By far the main reason Utd won all those trophies they did during his time there. Away v Juve 2-0 down, Zidane and Davides against him English team not won in Italy for decades - produced one of the greatest performances ever.

Roy Keane most underrated player ever the guy was up there with viera simple as that absolutely general of football
I dont know anyone who underrates Keane ; not anyone who knows football anyway
Whos the last bloke?
Keane united most dominant captain ever...fergie best ever signing
lol Kammy had some balls to come out with that in a lift with Keane tbh
Seems like Roy is some kind of a Grandpa for everyone who was playing with him.
I am lifelong Arsenal fan & obviously I witnessed the rivalry between my team & Utd including the spate with Patrick Viera but am not blind.
Roy Keane was a midfield monster who earns the respect of everybody who knows the duty of a captain.
It's a joke ti see Bruno wearing the armband: no disrespect to the Portuguese but Keane was peerless
Wish Liverpool got him in the early 90s and we wouldnt have had as many seasons or maybe had to wait so long for a league
