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.

One thing about Keane that always gets overlooked....his first touch and short passing were immaculate. He never gave the ball away.

They should have a statue of keane at old Trafford most successful captain ever at the club

[jacobmahoney]

Everyone talks about Roy the way Roy talks about Dennis Irwin 😂

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

[jaytam]

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.

Cristiano Ronaldo also said Keane was the best captain he ever had & that he helped him develop into the player he became

[mattparker]

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

Even as a Liverpool fan you cant help but love roy keane

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.

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.

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.

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!

[derrickmurphy]

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.

[Slaphappy]

As a Man United supporter, Keane is always the first name on the teamsheet for me. I remember around 1998-2002, if I saw that Keane was playing, I was sure we weren't going to lose that game, no matter who we played.

[Torky]

Roy Keane would never be out my team he was a leader abd led by example, box to box player, he could tackle, he could pass short or long and he did the dirty side of the game extremely well and had a goal in him too. He might not be everybody's cup of tea but I love his honesty and if somebody wasn't pulling their weight he'd be on them right away and he gave his everything for the club. The semi-final against Juventus in '99 when he got a yellow card that put him out of the Champions League final and to play how he did and got the team to the final despite knowing he was out typifies everything about his character and the player he was, he was an outright winner. He'll always be a legend to the United supporters and everyone he played with, Captain, Leader, Legend.

Keane and Scholes really was the dream combo... really suited one another! And Giggs on the left, Beckham on the right... bloody hell!

[aldoleandro]

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 👍
