In my opinion, Roy Keane is the best player in premier league history. Now, before my head bitten off, he's the best leader I've ever seen, the most consistent passer, an underrated dribbler, tackled like a center half, and won games. Never has somebody put the team on their back like Keane, never has a man rallied a team, never has a man commanded a pitch like Roy Keane. I haven't seen anybody like him since, and I miss it.

I remember in the late 90s people consistently talking about Keane being denied Player of the Year because of his temperament before he won 1. It was remarkable the difference between Utds performances when he played and when he didnt. When you consider the players they had. What a player.

A game that really showed keane's quality was Ireland vs Holland 2001, he dragged Ireland through the game against a Dutch team loaded with talent.Same vs the portugese, he was main reason we got to WC 2002

Roy Keane basically had Man Utd 1-0 up in the tunnel before the game.

Good to hear Kenny Cunningham's views on Keano - he knows.

Roy Keane the player is the most underrated player the premiership has seen......a true great..... and its used too much...... Keane was class

The more I hear him talk in interviews and as a pundit, the more he impresses me. Top man

Roy Keane in my opinion was probably the best midfielder in Europe in his career

After watching the opening minute of this I was like "yep... knows what he's talking about ".

Keane might be a difficult person but he was & still is one of the greatest midfielders the Premier League has ever seen. He was also the greatest in his position in the world for 2/3 years. I’m not a United fan either.

Bhoy was a winner ,the position he played for the team there wasnt a better player in world football for about 5/6 seasons bhoy was world class player best captain epl has ever seen HH💚🍀

Some individuals have had more skill or more pace or scored more goals but no one has played as well as consistently as Roy Keane during the Premiership era. Without doubt the most influential player and best captain the PL era has seen!!! WTF does Richard Keys know? lol

Keane going on about the mentality a player should have after walking over the white line of the pitch had me welling up inside. How there's fallouts in any industry but that you have to give your absolute all regardless. Playing forward and simple is exactly what United lack today. The tangibles and intangibles Roy brought just don't exist today. Everyone's way too PC and sensitive. Legend end of.

Most important player United had in the time he was there. There were more naturally talented players - Beckham Giggs Scholes Rooney Schmeichel etc but United were nothing without Roy Keane. His commitment, leadership and standards on the pitch turned United from a good team into a great team.

I hated Man Utd because of Keane, He was MUFC. But you look now and realise how good he was.

Imagine Ngolo Kante but better at passing, tackling and with more energy. That was Roy Keane.

Kenny was great at Wimbledon. Very underated always gave 100%

Anytime any pundit even suggests something negative about Keane's playing career, they always follow it with a " don't get me wrong" or some other form of apologetic phrase, as if not appreciating keane's brilliance is some sort of sin Don't get me wrong now!

Difference between Keane and Carrick, Keane always creating, going forward, Carrick was the barber, short, back and sides..

THIS IS IT: 'Experts' and football fans alike, drone on and on about stats these days, as if to suggest the player with the most goals and assists is the most vital player in the team. Keane's killer stats are unimpressive, but as Cunningham said, he kept the ball moving, always played it forward, broke up and ignited attacks. Without that quality, you don't win football matches very often. So, yeah, I'd say Keane was the best player in Premier League history. Shove your highlights reel

It's much easier to 'get' Keane when you play competitive games as a forward, even if it's just Sunday league. He's the player who you make a run for every single time he gets the ball because you know if and when he picks you to pass it to, it's going to be quality.

How many motm awards has Roy won in his career, seemed like he was motm almost every time

Keane in todays game would totally lauded... i guarantee it!! there hasnt been another player since him across the globe who can do what he did. they are a different breed. The man covered every blade of grass on the pitch and rarely did the wrong thing on the ball.

Ohhh Roy Keane's fuckn magic wears a magic Hat 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

If Roy Keane was English he would have been mentioned as one of the world's best 👌 but British media which we all listen to they wouldn't say it enough.. I am a life long Liverpool fan that Always respected and was afraid of Roy against us .

This was great. Well said fellas

Keane would be worth 200 million in todays market

Bobby Charlton possibly gave Keane his greatest compliment by saying he was the only player he had seen that could be compared to Duncan Edwards.

these days we wax lyrical about kante, well Keane and Vieira were few levels beyond kante. cover as much ground, get the ball back as much as kante, didnt give the ball away, winning headers, score the odd goals, in addition to being a leader.

Im a Spurs fan but i can only imagine how good Glenn Hoddle would be with Roy next to him

what are the games on the shelf behind Kenny?

First name on the team sheet.

Richard Keys always shows himself as someone who does not understand football, he has the views of a star struck teenager. Roy Keane is doibtedly the greatest midfielder in PL history. Only Scholes and maybe Gerrard get close.

He done what you want off a midfielder ,he bossed the game , win your battles first ,end of

Love kenny gave his all for us

At this particular moment in time or at any particular moment in time. King Kenny.

Roy kean ALWAYS gave 101% !!!

As a man united fan i wish paul pogba would watch videos of roy keane and learn how to pass a ball .

Very best player ever my God look at his games my God his pace fight to the very last second please don't be ridiculous A warrior

Brian Clough knew how good he was the first time he saw him play a reserve game as a teenager. Brian knew a thing or two about football.

Johnny Giles named, Dave Mackay & Souness as two of the hardest and best he's seen at that position and he was a great footballer himself ✌️

Cunningham was a legend at blues. Him and upson, KRO king kenny

That bit about Kilbane 😀

Saw the Keys comment, was ridiculously poor and I was screaming these examples - Rooney etc. Well done guys.

That was a really good side 2000 - 2002. Such a shame what happened with Keane at the wc.

the one who criticized roy the player is the one that hates united or the one that hasn't seen him play live, or simply doesn't understand football. roy the manager/assistant manager is a complete houseburn though, he has neither the management skills or the coaching skills.

He was one of the last perfect box to box player aside from his leadership

There’s a lad who knows football. The way he is talking you just know he has played 100’s and 100’s of games of football

Best there is...best there was...best there ever will be 😎

His first touch was up there with the best.

Richard “it was just banter” Keys is just a bitter old man. Anyone new at Sky, who’s successful (Keane, Neville, Carra), Keys is envious of.

Let's not forget Kenny cunningham was a quality centre half

killa was a gent and if you gave a pass back to the keeper he would praise you that's just the way he is so that's why they said it

Keanoooo forever...

better than scholes, gerrard and lampard

Best player I've seen too, Xabi Alonso had a lot of his traits, and I think Fabinho and Fernandinho are close too

100% !! Richard Keys clown !

what richard keys knows about football could fit on the back of a postage stamp

Well you never can tell, can you. It's a game of ninety minutes and we're only half way.

Why can’t Irish pundits let the legend of the man rest. Roy Keane is the best Irish footballer of all time. Always a debate, always about Saipan, always debate debate debate. All the time. Irish football needs to move on. My god.

Fantastic leader, with a superb engine but 33 goals in 12 years is not that of legends. Fine competitor but Gerrard was the far better footballer.

Look at the size of Kenny's glasses, they must weigh a tonne.

Kenny Two Banks of Four Cunningham

I wonder if their pants are on

Roy Keane on Kenny Cunningham's true qualities : "Utter nonsense."

Roy Keane was a fantastic midfield player(At one time"Box 2 box")For Man Utd and Ireland..But unfortunately he w/b remembered for his Dirty tackles and challenges..And it does appear he could cultivate a argument in an empty Phone box!.And he always places himself as the injured party/victim..Not so sure about that,he enjoys the controversy &being at the centre of the attention..But as I said,when he was on form,he personified what a leader on the field is meant to be!

Did i just hear "he wouldn't have the technical ability of Gerrard"? This lad has never played football at any level if he's making statements like that. Long range shots which were few and far between and dried up in the second half of his career, and happened because his team was poor, which gave him license to shoot, mean he has superior technique? Roy Keane has scored long range goals, he just played at a better team that won things so he never took it upon himself to smash from long range like Gerrard most games. Look up how many Gerrard missed.

Cunningham was nice to Keane but Keane didn't speak kindly of Cinningham

While he was a classy player, he did have an aggressive, dirty side to his play that went over the edge at times, and his deliberately breaking Alfe Haagland's leg (and then boasting about it in his book, released around 15 months later) did take something away from his achievements and have a lot of people wondering "what the f*** is with this guy?" In addition, his cynical, shoot-from-the-hip criticism of the Irish defenders after the infamous Thierry Henry's handball in 2009 was uncalled for, as were his comments about Irish fans at Poland / Ukraine in 2012 (some of whom, no doubt, had made him richer by buying his shirts over the years) who deserve to be respected. As assistant coach he did give the players that bit of confidence that had been lacking, which I applaud him for, but all in all, he's a complex guy: God to Man U. fans, the devil to others; and this is coming from a die-hard Ireland fan...No offence intended to fanatical RK fans, but I'm simply stating some facts... peace brothers and sisters....

Roy Keane is a great player, coz his from Ireland. The Ireland do. no. have. Any good player.. That's why the Irish people think his a good player. In Brazil he doesn't play in our five player Street team. It is what it is.
