Favourite Roy Keane memory....

cw1984 · 9th May 2008, 11:56

I love him, im sure you guys do too.

I created this thread because i slagged him off as a manager and i felt a bit dirty....

Whats your favourite memory about him?

Mine has too be when he squared up too Vieira in the tunnel. It was so funny, you could actually see Vieira shit his pants. And then we destroyed them, and Vieira had a very very quiet game.

Van Piorsing · 9th May 2008, 12:01

Vieira scored a first goal in this game but then United turned into a beast and killed them 4:2 on their ground, as I remember.

It was one of those Keano's epic performances. Players were inspired by his talk to Vieira.

Roy was the best captain in the world that day. Vieira had nothing to say after his intervention.

Cal? · 9th May 2008, 12:04

The determined look on his face when he got that yellow card in Turin.

seanboy · 9th May 2008, 12:07

Scoring two goals at Highbury and squaring up to Vieira on the pitch.

Ecroyd · 9th May 2008, 12:07

his goal against juve

AdZzUtd · 9th May 2008, 12:08

That most famous of Captains goals in Turin.

Parks Life · 9th May 2008, 12:10

1. Against Juve 99
2. The 4-2 against Arsenal in his last season, the tunnel incident, his performance, his post match interview, everything really.
3. His performance in the 1-0 win at Anfield in the 2004/2005 season. Everyone was going crazy about how good Gerrard was becoming and Liverpool fans were saying he'd make mincemeat of Keane blah, blah, blah. Keane absolutely schooled him.

Probably loads more as well.

............and went on to play the game of his life when mere mortals would have let the fact of missing the final get to them.

Beast of a man, Captain Marvel, the never to be replaced Roy Keane .

Bo_7iDaR · 9th May 2008, 12:14

Was tempted to say Against Juventus 99, but then remebered this.

Roy Keane, captain of the historic treble winning United, gives Patrick Vieira a taste of what's to come, and puts Arsenal just in their rightful place.

Bouncing the ball of S.O.P's head at St James' Park

Wes · 9th May 2008, 12:57

v. Juventus. Terrific goal, the fact that he ran faster towards our half than he did trying to get up for the corner in the first place does it.

Many, many moments down the years, including with Ireland. One particularly was against Holland, a game to put us into the World cup in september 2001, first minute of the game, straight after kick-off, Marc Overmars gets the ball, Keane destroys him and wins the ball. Overmars barely had a kick that day, whilst Keane basically out manned the dutch by himself. Jason McAteer eventually got the goal to put us through, but Roy Keane won the feckin thing. A legend.

pert · 9th May 2008, 12:58

Viera in the tunnel no doubt

Class stuff from Roy

Cornell · 9th May 2008, 13:01

When he scored the winner against Leeds, I think in the 95/96 season.

VII · 9th May 2008, 13:02

Turin and Tunnel.

I also try to picture that scene of him giving McCarthy the hairdryer. Priceless.

irishmanc · 9th May 2008, 13:02

I think when he threw a punch at Shearer and missed, but mainly for his comments afterwards when he got a three match ban.

He said he wished he'd connected with him because he still would have got a three match ban anyway so he might as well have been hung for a sheep as for a lamb.

Dippersripper · 9th May 2008, 13:03

The Haaland tackle. Absolutely loved it.

kinkster · 9th May 2008, 13:08

his goal V Juve

it opitamised everything that was roy keane, he was banned for the final and knew this yet not only did he drag himself up by the boot laces to score he inspired the whole team to go on and win the game.

No other player in the world would have put in that inspired performance knowing he was banned from the biggest game of his life

What a player, what a captain, what a man

grahamo · 9th May 2008, 13:11

Telling Viera to 'shut the f*&* up' in the Arsenal tunnel.

ben_foster · 9th May 2008, 13:17

the tunnel incident, his tackle on viera in his first game back after his cruciate in the charity shield and the whole 90 minutes in turin 99, he was immense. and also the look he gave bolmqvist after that pass he gave him which lead to his booking

Epic · 9th May 2008, 13:28

"I see you out there, every week, every week, you make them think you're a nice guy, I see you out there!"

dno · 9th May 2008, 13:35

Almost every European night in 99'. We'd bomb forward as we did, Barca/Bayern/Juve would tear through us on the break and then from nowhere Roy, driven by a will that was unparalleled in football history would get back and break up the attack. That's what bound us to him. We see them pour forward, we'd feel fear and then Roy from nowhere would get back and solve it. He was incredible. Years later Roy would just sit and do this, valuable, but it didn't effect the watching fan the same way, in 98/99 and for a couple of years either side (apart from the injured year of course) it was like we had an extra player, Roy to join the attack and then Roy to break up their attack.

Agree with these. Also the Haaland incident as well. I know it was a reckless and disgusting challenge....but I fucking loved it, 'take that you cnut Haaland'

Exactly what I thought when I saw the replay. Don't ever mess up with Keano.

Decotron · 9th May 2008, 14:04

I'LL SEE YA OUT THERE!!!!!!

Juve Match

Making Gerard his bitch when he was apprently over the hill

Playing centre half in Turin when we hammered them

In terms of Ireland getting us to the world cup singled handedly, plus his performances against Portugal and Holland.

Lambasting players who deserved it.

3-2 at Maine Road. Sharpey nearly disappears over his shoulder

KanieKane · 9th May 2008, 14:50

Too many spring to mind

Vieira (multiple occasions)
Haalland
Gerrard (Owned)

The one that sticks out the most to me sadly not in a Red short was for Ireland against the Dutch. What a game he played that day. He obliterated anything in his path right from the first whistle. Truly SuperHuman in his efforts

Legend

Nicely put, was considering explaining it like that but my brain is sore!!!

All 3 United · 9th May 2008, 15:35

I was there for the Juve game, head in my hands 2-0 down and then Keane took the game by the scruff of the neck and more or less single handedly turned the game round. Fuc*in awesome performance.

weso26 · 9th May 2008, 15:40

Both the Juventus and Arsenal games equally I think

Ivor Ballokov · 9th May 2008, 15:47

Turin was one of the best individual performances i've ever seen. It was simply awe inspiring.
