He kept saying he wasn’t the best of players. Let me tell you, I watched Utd live many times and even in that great team he was the best player I’ve ever seen. Football isn’t just about how many step overs you can do. I’m his prime Roy controlled everything on the pitch. He was constantly moving team mates into the right place. He hardly ever lost the ball and always moved the ball forward. He was a joy to watch.

I do not know if Roy knows how happy he makes other people like myself just by talking

He is a rare occurrence... So relatable to a lot of irish people and certainly to those of us from cork. He really doesn't think hes anything special when really, he is one of the most special people we have ever created. A true Irish hero and an absolute legend in person, if you approach him the right way. No selfies or any of that shit.

Saw Roy play 23 years ago when I was a child in Malta. He stood outside giving autographs until all the kids got one. Lovely chap from my experience

I led Roy Keane and his teams out of the tunnel onto the pitch on two different occasions . 1994 World Cup at Giants Stadium, NJ were Ireland beat Italy 1-0 and in 2003 at Giants Stadium Manchester United vs Juventus were Man U went on to win 4-1 were I also got to sit at the end of the bench. How lucky can one guy be? I am a huge fan of Roy and Man U. and those moments are simply unforgettable.

That has to be one of the best interviews I have ever seen. . Tommy Tiernan paces the interview perfectly and Roy Keane responds thoughtfully & honestly, i found it quite emotional. A lot of people probably dont get Roy Keane at all, you get the impression that he wouldnt really care anyway. He is totally 100 % honest and says it how it is and Its clear that he was able to move on after his career had finished and is content with life. keep doing what you do Roy- youre a great person and you are much loved and admired by many.Other interviewers take note....watch & listen to how Tommy Tiernan does it .

I’m a Glaswegian Celtic supporter and he talks of his time there and felt like he was stealing a wage because of his fitness. He was obviously by his best but I remember a game at Ibrox where he absolutely strolled it and showed his real class. Maybe the adrenaline kicked in for that game but he was head and shoulders above every player on the park that day and the Rangers players couldn’t get near him. Maybe his last hurrah but every Celtic supporter that day remembers that performance

The moment I knew Keane was a gentle fella in his own personal life was when I watched him walking his dog with G-Nev on the Overlap and the dog was as chilled as anything. I said to myself that man is very different to the personality we know.

You simply have to love this man. It doesn't matter where you're from, what you do, the man oozes honesty, loyalty, commitment and doesn't TRY to be loved by anyone - he's his own man and is total class. Humility despite the highest achievements and integrity. Wonderful man. Not a man utd fan, was only getting into football after his peak, but hugely appreciative of his impenetrable character. The sort of man I want to be.

He's relaxed in every interview because he knows he's controling it.

a man of few words, hard to interview, misunderstood...and a genius. less is more.. love you Keano!

Roy plays down how good he actually was. That Champions League semi final 2nd leg against Juventus in Turin in 1999 was epic. Juventus 2 - 0 ahead after 10 mins & I thought it was game over but when he pulled it back scoring that header to make it 2 - 1, that's when he took the game by the balls. Juventus had Edgar Davids known as The Pitbull but Roy was a lion that night & was determined they were going to win of which they did & he got a yellow card that cost him playing in the final. Love watching him as a pundit nowadays, just tells it straight. Great to see him relaxed and humble, absolute legend.

I love the fact that Tommy has a proper conversation with his guests.

This is fabulous. One of the best Roy Keane interviews I’ve ever seen.

Roy Keane is like a fine wine 🍷 he just gets better with age. Trust me as an Arsenal fan he has grown on me with his wisdom and his way a true role model 🔥💯

It's not guarded. It's a man so comfortable in himself and his achievements it shows in his manner. This is how a real man behaves.

I'm a Liverpool fan but I really love this man what a player and competitor.. brilliant

I could listen to him all day. So humble, so honest.

As an Arsenal fan he was a superb midfielder. The Keane-Vieira duels were epic. Even though I hated him during those times I have an immense amount respect for him as a player and more importantly perso

As a toon fan I can't give this man enough respect. My life is based on his mentality. Absolute baller.

He is a master class of mental wellness. He doesn’t overthink like I imagine Tommy does. He takes things as they are, is thankful and learns from it and moves on to the next. I can’t imagine Roy on his deathbed saying he regrets XYZ. He learns and moves on. Very practical brain.

I could listen to these two legends talk all day. Tommy looking great lately.

Roy has always been my favorite and it was he who attracted me to this interview. What a brilliant interviewer this Tommy Tiernan is.

I'm Man City through and through, but I always admired RK's presence. He was United's greatest ever player as far as I'm concerned. The Haaland thing was unfortunate.

The best Roy Keane interview I have ever seen, not seen in the UK. Odd questions from Tommy, brilliant interview. Keano up for it all ! good man ! Best pundit in the world ! Best Irish footballer ever! and he loves dogs,

Keane is one of the best midfielder! All heart and commitment. The rock in the MU line up. Salute!

Roy’s high ambitions and self belief were incredible and to be able to deliver on his boy hood dreams was fantastic. His and Denis Irwins careers with United are hard to believe - two lads from Cork playing at the highest level in world club football - amazing. Roy has a great brain and is a charismatic person with excellent communication skills - we just love to listen to him

This interviewer is excellent. First time I've seen him. 'Asks really interesting questions and isn't afraid to go deep. Quality.

This has got to be one of the best interviews ever for an ex/current pro athlete. I think the reason why so many people resonate with Roy Keane is he represents all the qualities and values we see in ourselves or have been taught from a young age. Forget his football success for a moment, this man represents hard work, loyalty, discipline, integrity, honesty and commitment. All the characteristics you would want in a partner, son/daughter, best friend etc. He transcended Man United and the way professional sport and football was viewed in this country. Finally, he downplays his technical skills a lot and says he had to play on the edge to make up for his lack of technical skills. But let me tell you this man was as gifted as any midfielder. Real football fans know he had absolutely everything. An absolute legend and icon of world football and sport.

Just a couple of guys down the pub having a chat. Both legends in their field, you can see the respect they both have for each other. What stood out the most was the questions were deep but didn’t cross the line. You’d never ask someone about something that wasn’t common place knowledge or had been done to death. I thoroughly enjoyed this, very light and insightful.

From a Milan fan , this fella was something else …Respect Keano 💪🏻

Tommy can't quite get his around the fact that Roy Keane is an ordinary bloke at heart.

Roy Keane is the only man you can have a casual chat with and feel like you've been integrated after it

An extraordinary and captivating interview of an extraordinary and captivating person. When Roy speaks you just want to listen and absorb some of that grounded wisdom.

Absolute great guy. Unbelievable player in his day (one of the very best) and so humble.

Sipan !!! I’ll always admire him for standing his ground and walking away…. A man of principal

Brilliant interview, could listen to Roy for hours. He is humble and calm here, a genuinely good guy. Thanks for uploading this. I do watch the show but somehow missed this interview.

Love Roy Keane he is straight shooter and very funny. Cheers from Australia Roy.

I’ve never seen the show before , but I loved Tommy’s deadpan delivery and demeanour, and how can you not like Roy.

Thank you for showing the humility Roy has. Great interview.

I was no fan of Roy Keane the player but he was a master of his craft who played to his strengths and certainly got my respect . This is a fascinating interview and he's a fascinating character that always gets my attention. His brutal honesty is endearing and I'm sort of envious of the way he seemingly lives his life. He's clearly a man at peace with himself, about as relaxed as one can be, and content with his lot - who wouldn't want that?

Roy is one in a million. As humble as he's being, he was an amazing player. The years he was at Utd, if he was in the team, you felt Utd couldn't lose.

What a great interview with one of the good honest and down to earth men in football.Tells it as it was and never takes the glory train like others after him.Well done Roy.👍🇨🇮👍

Roy is being very modest about his ability. He wasn't George Best but he was an excellent footballer with superb technique. Almost never had a bad touch or a misplaced pass.

Could listen to Roy Keane all day

Love Roy Keane. Just class

This is a really great interview. As a player I couldn't stand him, but at the same time would have wanted him on my team for every match. He's the same here, humble, just telling it like it is with no waffle, boasting or airs and graces. A mention for the interviewer too. I've not heard of Tommy Tiernan before but he was a great interviewer. Really insightful with great with great questions, and happy to be quiet and listen to the answers. Great to see an interviewer who can listen and not just talk! I'll definitely look for his other stuff.

Roy Keane is bar none the most intelligent, funny and thoughtful sports personality on media today. He says more things in fewer words than most people on television.

We loved having Roy at Sunderland, hopefully in future he will comeback and continue our journey. Brilliant times

Tommy did really well here with someone who can be quite difficult to get anything out of. Tommy seemed off the cuff, no notes in front of him etc. Great interview.

No bull with roy straight up guy 👌

I'm pure bred ulster man die hard United supporter and Keane will always be one of my favourite united players it's that hunger he had to win

As a Liverpool fan, he was an incredible player.

I never seen Tommy Tiernan do interviews before but this is just brilliant, an absolute master of his craft that doesn’t get the credit he deserves especially outside of Ireland

Thanks for the upload lad

"I wasn´t as good as people made me out" Nonsense - you were better. One of the best players I have ever seen at doing the "simple stuff". Which is actually really hard and not simple at all. Legend.

Love Keano, ever since I first watched him play at the City ground! Legend!

Keano is the legend of legends!

Roy is very modest,he is one of the best modern midfielders ever. He was a machine.

If you had 11 Roy Keanes in your team, You wouldn’t lose many matches! #Legend 🔴⚪️⚫️

Thank you Mr Tiernan, an excellent interview

I think it was a great interview. He's 💯 cool calm and collected

My God, what an interview!!! Inspiring, emotional and every other feeling you could evoke. Brilliant by both!!

He's not guarded. He's just a real man.

Got to love Keane calm collected not up his own arse always been that way

2nd time I’ve watched this interview and it just has to be said Roy Keane is a great man

Brilliant interview with a legend.

Roy is such a humble guy

Amazing listening at the end where Roy says he didn’t miss playing at all once he’d retired. Shows he gave everything he had during his career and had nothing left to give. Ex players with regrets tend to be the ones who didn’t quite commit their all

Tommy Tierney is a brilliant interviewer and I have to say this is one of the best interviews I have ever seen

I just finished Pat Nevin's autobiography and Keane's autobiography was recommended and only two bucks. Absolutely brilliant read so far. Much misunderstood character. The game is missing people like Roy these days.

How can you not like the fella . Professional, honest , loyal, not materialistic and mentally hard as nails. What more do you want !!

How can you not love Roy Keane.

Now that is s show worth the watching.

this was a great interview, he just let roy talk and not ask too many questions, very well done

He's one of the best midfielders of his generation

Love the mans way he goes through life, honest brutality with class. Erin go bragh.

Both of them have a serene, yet steely calmness about them. Tommy is always comfortable with silence, so he doesn't get intimidated with the Roy Keane aura. There is a mutual respect between them. Roy Keane comes across very well.

Just watched this and it's amazing how Keane is so good at acceptance. Accepting that he had to work hard at 9/10 to get to England, acceptance of his weaknesses, his mistakes and his technical ability as a footballer and acceptance that it was over. Clearly, he doesn't delude himself but at the same time, he knew that his strength was his will to win. However, I would say personally that the defensive side of his game was up there with any elite player, brilliant at timing tackles and good distribution to other teammates when he won balls back.

Would luv too meet Roy Keane I looked up too him as a kid growing up as a player and as a pundit and Man Family man total respect from me aswell🤝

Remember seeing him on the victory bus going through Deansgate back in '99, everyone cheering him for his efforts on the run up to that final. Happy memory

Keane, Viera, Gerrard... there is no-one close... Keane says himself how important the centre midfielder is... it takes hours of debate to define whether he's 1st, 2nd or 3rd... his humility is his greatest talent

Roy Keane is the definition of a mans man. Top bloke 👊

Roy is one of the most impressive humans I've ever seen and I'm not a football fan - he rings true no matter how he is tested. Smart, sef aware, Mature, Self-regulated, great values, loyal, and with his ego firmly under control.Tommy was so busy hiding how prepped he was that he missed asking Roy how he is so well adjusted/ has he had therapy? He has learned to show a little mercy to himself I think/hope. I'm glad he does not try to manage/lead any organisation - his core value is as a very clear opinion leader/ mentor /attitude adjuster. Interesting watch.

Keano was phenomenal from David Forest fan since 77

What an icon his honesty integrity and overall modest overwhelming what a proper athlete unreal guy

I respect him as a player and for being his own man. Great nterview.

Walking and chocolate my two favourites😊great stuff he's just so entertaining brilliant interview

What a class interview, 2 masters of their crafts.

I can't believe he said "technically i wasn't a good player". He made Premier league team of the season four years in a row

Roy Keane would be one of my dinner party guests. Not because I'm a football fan, cos I'm not, but I could listen to him all day long! I love his straight and no nonsense personality, and his smart arse humour! I'd love to get his point of view on non-football matters

The one and the only one. What a leader!! My favorite player of all time.

Good man Roy, not tying to be somebody he's not, and not putting anyone up on a pedestal.

I saw Tommy Tiernan live at the Edinburgh fringe a couple of years ago..he was brilliant.....described himself as an Aldi Roy Keane 😂...spot on...he had a wee bit more hair back then ...Roy,s smile when talking about his dogs shows was priceless

Absolutely BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!

I love what Roy says about owning dogs... I didnt understand what it meant to have a dog... But now i have one its pure love 🐶👌😍

Absolute hero!!

Best interview I have ever watched. Especially with this living legend!

Great interview

🤣🤣🤣Roy on bout the dogs picking up the vibes was class an he's not wrong! Brilliant
