His first touch was ridiculously underrated. He could kill the ball and move it on so quickly with either foot.

Roy Keane's phenomenal footballing skills are quite often overlooked due to his determination and will to win. Losing was never an option for him, and he expected the same amount of effort from his teammates. Yes, he played hard, but he was also fair. He took as good as he gave, and he shunned the spotlight because he felt that giving his all was what he was supposed to do. There will never be another player like him, unfortunately, because soccer has changed so much, and it's now a business.

If you could upload this again with a higher resolution this video would have millions of views. Best Roy Keane compilation I've ever seen

One of the greatest players of all time.. an essential cog. Every great team had one of these players. In my opinion he was the best.. first on any team sheet

Top 3 midfielders of all time

Roy Keane is up there with any of the great central midfielders this country has ever seen. Souness, Robson, Bremner, Giles and his peers like Viera, Gerrard and Lampard. Technically very sound, laser like passing with an insatiable desire to win at all costs, great player in any era.

What they don't tell you is that Keane usually usually was retaliating when he got in trouble. Rarely was he out for blood; a player as talented as he was always has a target on their back, and the fight in him just made the target bigger. Love him or hate him, Keano was a warrior, and when he was provoked, he wouldn't hesitate to fight.

Class player...a midfielder with bottle, heart , a engine, drive, man utd wouldnt of been half the team if he didnt play there, he demanded everyone to be a leader on the pitch but out of the leaders theres one who shows how its done and that was keane

He's outstanding, he's on another level.

Pele voted him in the top 100 living footballers this guy was amazing

thank you so much for this video.... i waited so long to finally see keane's true skills in a compilation

Fuck as a United fan.. this gives me goosebumps

One of his non-football traits I really like is his ability to speak the truth always no matter what. Very few people have that. It's difficult to face the truth. For a hard man like Roy it's no problem

3:03 that sprint was ridiculous! Roy Keane vs Usain Bolt in 100m sprint with a football at the finish line, Roy Keane would win every time.

I watched Roy Keane at Nottinghamshire and i said here comes Irelands golden boy a pure gem

Watch 1996 fa cup against Pool awasome performance hat it all passing, tackling, composure leadership seldom gives the ball away, for all his flaws he was one of the greatest ever make no mistake about it.

Omg what a player couldn't say enough about him awesome genius

93 Career goals,8 league titles, 4 Fa cups and 4 Charity Shields,2 league cups, 1 Champions league, 1 World club cup.Premier league player of the year

My idol growing up

Thank you that was brilliant

96 cup final he was immense

A complete package

Amazing player, did the simple things right, fantastic motor but his best quality was galvanising all the players around him. Whether he likes it or not he was Sir Alex on the pitch

Who else gave this a fucking like..?class

Im saying this 3y after but he was the best✌️

Mr. Keepitonthedeck I am not associated with any team as of now. If I purchase your Brain Game book would it help me develop team intellgence? If not, what would you recommend?

Keane was immense at Nottingham Forest. Also guided and managed in a certain way so the best could come from him. Got a clip from the great man as well.... Gutted when he left..... When at Manchester United he didn't get into the box like he did at Forest. But with all the options you can see why.....

Sorry some typos no glasses on,

Back in the days when the midfielder was expected to be box to box and have impact in attack, defence and setting the tempo. Keane and Vieira epitomised this role. Miss those days. Midfielders these days are more specialised but don't seem to be much better for it.

Do t know why these keep popping up on my feed? No one ever said Keane was no more than a “kicker”

An animal on a pitch , a legend

Skysports! #gary neville #bigmiggs!#carragher. #souness. Reaction to this masterpiece.

Nice music who is the artist, the second part of Youttube.

God Almighty loves you

That was his job

If he was playing for Liverpool instead of Utd back in the day , do you reckon it would of took them 30 years to win the league. EXACTLY

Dynamite the premier league has too many foreign fancy Dan’s great talent in Ireland overlooked

Better captain than Stevie G

But that’s his job 😐

This is just footage of Roy Keane running at defenders and being tackled every time and ending up on the floor. Just a knober.

Roy Keane.... He never stops running

Never knew he was that fast

Top class video.What a player..Keano Keano.

Good job bro. Roy is magic

Absolute working class hero. The video shows why he is the way he is and explains his disdain and attitude towards some modern day footballers during the latter parts of his career as a player and even as a pundit. He worked and HARD grafted his socks off to even get the smallest whiff of a chance to play in England. He didnt come from a place of privilege where these opportunities were readily available. What must have been going through his head when he had the chance to sign for Man utd from Nottingham Forest. This is why he turned into the machine of a midfielder he became, he knew how lucky he was and had to earn the right to play right up to the very end. His personal determination and drive pushed his teammates on. Man utd were lucky to have him and he was lucky to have Man Utd. Some people may scoff at this, but aside from his scuffles, he is an excellent example for young kids - grit, desire and determination to achieve his goals. You can bet, which ever team he was in he would have made the absolute most of it.

Amazing video of roy with some very rare unseen clips showing him at his very best. Shows how fast he really was

This guy had so much speed

Great and fitting tribute Keepitonthedeck - keep them coming!

WoW!

It's impossible to compare any other player to Roy Keane, because no one else had the desire, drive, commitment, passion, skill, determination, talent and sheer willpower that he had, and as the game as a whole is getting much less physical than it was, we'll probably never see the likes of him again.

Send this to Richard Keyes. Brilliant video.
