Favourite Roy Keane memory....
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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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 |

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

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.

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. |

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

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.

One that hasn't been mentioned so far...
Keane had been stuck on 49 United goals for ages - I think he went a year or two without scoring and it was beginning to look as if he wouldn't get it. Then against Leicester at Old Trafford he took a backheel from Ronaldo, sold a dummy and slid the ball in from the edge of the box, in front of the Stretford End. Everyone know it was his 50th, he looked delighted. Other highlights... Arsenal 1-2 United (Keane both goals, winner in the last minute) United 1-0 Leeds (crucial goal in winning the title in 1996) United 3-0 Portsmouth - fantastic goal, hit with the left foot from the right side of the penalty area, very unlike Keane! The Highbury tunnel incident was one of those examples of being proud to have a man like him playing for your team. |

Winner against Citeh in 93/94 making it 3-2 for us after we were down 2-0 for pretyy much the whole game. Eric scored two goals to bring us level before Keano sneaked in at the far post to slam a last minute winner in front of shocked City fans They still have not recovered from the shock. This I believe, proved to be a crucial and defining moment in Keano's United career and in the construction of his legendary status
