Ad Max Huge rivals and two opposite styles.It was fierce at times but as we get older we respect it more.Not only for the level of intensity but both teams playing out of their skins.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Too true mate 👌🏽

Ad Max I used to say to pals in pub watch and absorb this football.Man Utd were a machine 👏🏽 The treble in 99 if only Bergkamp scored the penalty at Villa park 90 mins too 👀

Not sure class act describes him the best but he was a warrior willing to die for his shirt

I agree mate. I'm a season ticket holder at Utd. those 90s clashes at Highbury and old Trafford. those were the days eh!

Spot on .

Ben Carter person*

Def a mutual respect there... You can sense Keane kind of doesn't want to like Wrighty but actually can't help but love him!

Niall Heaton go to bed you sad twat 👍

Add Micah Richards to that now

Viera as well

Spot on, even when they lost, keane never let his performance below a certain point. true professional

Neutral Observer. I agree bro after watching 28 years of it . Cnt ever remember keano having a bad game.

Agree,but don't forget Denis Irwin. Ferguson has always said it was his best buy.A consist 8 out 10 in every game. Incredible. Liverpool supporter for over forty years now.. you gotta respect the greats and ignore the tribalism sometimes.

Amazing reply. I thought i was the only person who thought this

@@robertpirsig5011 - "even when they lost" As a neutral observer myself, I remember on one occasion Man U getting stuffed 6-2 by Southampton in a league game. I realise I'm flying in the face of the most relevant statistic here but Keano was the standout player on that field.

+Danny Muirhead true its all to floppy now

the game these days your barely allowed to tackle. he would be banned well over half the season!

He'd be wasted in this era. I don't mean that in a sentimental way, just his style and personality suited late 90's period so well. Was still quite old school then where players weren't going to the gym or on special micro managed diets. Keane was way ahead as a professional athlete - along with the rest of that united team - in a way that he wouldn't be now. Players aren't better, but they're more precious and better looked after

They are all pampered over paid soft bastards. No leaders in the game anymore.

Ee by gum. In my day "we used to live in a water tank on rubbish tip."

Same as Paul McGrath (born in London) ... if they played for England they'd both be in the XI.

@@Nautilus1972 Paul McGrath drank far too much unfortunately. Great talent but not a Ferguson standard player.

Great player.

He would be one of the best but the greatest ever was Scholes.

@@keshavsharma7913 they were very different type of players. But if you were in a real battle you would need a Roy Keane.

Until you go down to 8 men lol

Johnny Williams well that's not 11 then is it

@@Toetothunder idiot.

He never said that

bansheewhiskey i believe messi is the best of all time but i don’t think 11 messi would it’s not about talent it’s the hunger the aggression the leadership that stands out

Bollox

Loose cannon. Wouldn't want him anywhere near a gun.

Cork Steel was sold for a penny and poisoned the harbour :)

He nearly could have been a meath man.... Hardy

Alpha male..😂😌

John terry nuff said

Not even close Adam Roberts

@LEE KING SNATCH john terry isn't even in the top 3 haha

100%

Gerrard by a mile

One problem Keane absolutely despised Liverpool so he'd never of signed for them

Ciaran Richardson I sit in the Kop week in, week out. As a Liverpool fan I hated Keane in a United shirt. But I always respected him. An intelligent football fan doesn’t need to like a current player to respect their ability, and then give them plaudits after they’ve retired. The point being made is that Dalglish (an incredible player and successful manager) and Ferguson (a hugely successful manager) saw his quality. Not who he signed years later you absolute mug. Id follow a different sport , go back to school, or google the word logic if I were you @Msec ses

@@jonlacey316 Daglish was at Blackburn, not Liverpool. And Roy already agreed to sign for Kenny. Roy never despised Liverpool, and he wasn't really a United fan at that time. Growing up, Roy Keane idolized Glen Hoddle and his team was Spurs (lol). All Roy knew that summer was that Forest had been relegated, Brian Clough had resigned, and he wanted to move on to win trophies. It was a Friday afternoon when Kenny, Roy and Forest agreed terms. His wage would 40k a week, and Blackburn would pay Forest 4m (record fee). Blackburn office was closed so couldn't finalize the deal. Kenny Daglish and Roy shook hands, and agreed to sign on next Monday. Roy went back home to Cork that Friday evening, drank himself to death as usual on Friday and Saturday. On Saturday morning, the news broke, and SAF read about it, and moved in because we wanted Keane. Sunday morning, when Keane was still hang over, he got a phone call from Sir Alex, telling him who he was, and asked him if he had signed anything. Roy said he hadn't. So Alex said, come down tomorrow for a chat with me. Roy resisted the idea, but Alex said t was just a chat. Most of Roy's family were United supporters, so he came down to Manchester on Monday. SAF said the same thing as he said to Alan Shearer, that United would go on to win a lot of trophies with or without Keane, but with Keane United would win Europe. Shearer didn't quite buy it, but Roy did. On Monday, Kenny Daglish went crazy upon hearing Roy changed his mind, but Roy just shrugged if off and let the clubs negotiate a fee. Martin Edwards was a stingy bastards, and eventually Forest agreed on a fee of 3.75m (still record fee), and Roy's salary was at 35k per week, less than what he'd get at Blackburn.

I am a Man Utd fan and I think Keane only “hated” teams out of respect when they were a threat to his team. As a pundit he is currently praising Liverpool and rightly so. He has always admired proper professionals which is what the current Liverpool psyche is. If he hated Liverpool, then their fans should take it as a compliment because it wasn’t hate out of malice.

Upamanyu Lahiri this video just randomly popped up in my suggestions and I was about to comment this😂

It's weird though 😂

unquestionably

Proper footballers.

Keane was awesome! But viera was Better,best midfielder ive seen,an im a wolves fan

+whatststory101 LEGENDs.

So true, Liverpool fan but have a great load of respect and time for Keano

He never plays to the gallery tells it like it is

You must be joking you can't compare he was the best

Louie M viera was scared 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️🙊🤷‍♂️

Little Keane with his stumpy arms is going to have his way with big black athletic Vieira? That's kinda cute. Maybe in his dreams. Didn't Keane himself say that Vieira would quite comfortably knock his block off? I think even a grub like Keane would be angry at you for implying such a fantastic scenario.

I want to know who the fuck underrates Roy Keane as a footballer? Ridiculous thing to say.

RK was UNDER-RATED?

Bollocks.

Back Bone if Roy was playing now Pogba would be sent packing-for the price we bought him and all the hype/haircuts/wages he’s the most overrated player I’ve ever seen, 2 years and counting and he hasn’t done it for me- all I hear is potential- total rubbish. Having said that he did ok today, only ok- against Bournemouth!

Keane would make Pogba obsolete.

Pogba would sulk and shrink to being what he is....an over rated athlete

Not really lol

Keano

Too many players are labeled world class and they are not.. lets compare say Giggs or Raheem Sterling to C Ronaldo for a perfect example.. Would you say they are on his level? C Ronaldo is world class, indeed the brazilian Ronaldo was too before his injury. But ppl like Giggs and Sterling are not at their level and never would be! Ronaldo can beat players as well as Giggs ever could, Giggs could never cross a ball as well as Beckham.. Beckhams passing as a winger was World class, nobody crossed that ball better! C Ronaldo can beat players and score goals for fun! Messi too ofc = same level. You have to have a class of player below C Ronaldo and Messi i believe. So we have C Ronaldo, Messi, Maradonna, Pele, Romario, Ronaldo, Cruyff etc as the top players. Peter Schmeichel would be too for his position as i've not seen a better goal keeper before him or since (Banks etc before my time) I understand many United fans will rage at this, but compare Giggs to C Ronaldo for goals and assists, both are wingers, both played for good United teams. Giggs only ever hit double figures in goals at premier league twice! 24 seasons at United, when they were at the top of their game! Ronaldo in a mere 6 seasons at United destroyed Giggs season best of 13 goals 3 times with 17 goals, 31 and 18 goals respectively! And then look at what he went on to do at Real Madrid, it speaks for itself! Ronaldo is WORLD class, Giggs simply wasn't at his level!

Surely Irwin deserves a mention. Could play in either side of the field and a set price specialist. Evra wasn't half the player he was. According to Fergie, the first name down on his team sheet.

I'll say 'nutter.'

The ghost of a starving spaniard invaded his body for a split second

Up Leinster 😉

Keane doesnt drink so Im not sure who you mean when you state its a well known fact?

Roy Keane wore his heart on sleeve too many people are captains today and they're quite Roy Keane was often the loudest on the pitch he's one of the best captains ever don't quite who I would compare him too but you should watch some of his battles with Patrick Vieira Rhoose games were war because every player wanted it too people are by standers in modern football

i don't think theres a player to compare to Keane these days for leadership and drive to win! I guess the closest player you could 'compare' him with in terms of importance would be Kante when Leicester won the league.

Don't really think there is a player that he can be compared to. Hardest working player I've ever seen. The semi final in the Champion's League against Juventus 2 nil down is the epitome of Keane. He got a yellow knowing he'd miss the final and dragged that United team to victory, completely bossing the midfield of Zidane, Dechamps, David's and Conte.

Well, See Eric as a Leeds man then .... cos he was. First.

Greatest captain of Man United. Man U did not lose many matches with Keano in the line up.
