Since Keane fell out with Sir Alex and left Man United he's risen in stature. It comes with the territory. Sure, he has a persecution complex, but he's Irish.
I'm a Leeds United fan, so my natural instinct was to burn this book. You feel you are listening to a straight shooter. I'll come clean.
It's a much better read than some of the tosh put out by ex-Leeds players. And if Leeds can hire Denis Wise, then they can certainly hire Roy Keane.after he walks out on Sunderland in a couple of years. I didn't.
I read it, and enjoyed it.
I could not put this book down, well written and a great insight into the heart of a true Manchester United warrior.
He is an Irishman. It was a very good read, but I can't imagine the author is this drab. Having followed football for a few years and being familar with Mr. Keane's antics on and off the pitch, I thought this was going to be a little more entertaining.
Keane gives a "warts and all" description of his career and behavior. I like Manchester United and Keane so am biased, but this is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in what goes on behind the scenes and United and in the thoughts of someone whose behavior has been so "interesting" over the years.
You get a glimpse of the man without really ever getting inside his head. Utd).but lacks the capacity to captivate the reader like a good biography should. I like Roy Keane.He is direct,explosive and successful without possessing the sublime skills of Best or Cantona. He shares the highs and lows (and even his first salary with Man. Most of what is in here, you already know.Interesting glimpses of life as a successful sportsperson but lacking the cutting edge that he delivers on the football pitch. The book is written in the same direct style as his playing. He tells it straight but is lacking in detail.
