Roy Keane; the most successful captain in the history of Manchester United.
He was our driving force, the heart and soul of United from the mid 90s-00s, the most influential presence in the dressing room during their time together according to Ferguson, leaving a work ethic both on and off the pitch that would endure long after his departure.
7 Premier League titles during his 12 seasons at the club, including two domestic league and cup doubles and the famous treble, none of which the club had achieved before or since (no, we have never won the league and FA Cup in a season outside of Keane's time).
All this and still over the years I have seen him criticised and misrepresented again and again by the media and even our own supporters on forums across the internet. In my opinion this does a club legend a disservice. As someone who did so much for the club I feel that United supporters should draw ranks around our own and set the record straight where need be.
For this reason I would like to address some of the myths most often heard around Roy Keane. I'll start with the first five and maybe add some more. Please feel free to discuss/add your own...
Edit: new myth added to post #187 False: Keane has no man-management skills
