'''Roy Maurice Keane''' (born 10 August 1971) is an Irish [[association football|football]] [[pundit]], former [[Coach (sport)|coach]], and former professional player. He is the joint most
In his 18-year playing career, Keane played for [[Cobh Ramblers F.C.|Cobh Ramblers]], [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]], and Manchester United before ending his career at [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]]. He was a dominating [[box-to-box]] midfielder noted for his aggressive and highly competitive style of play, an attitude that helped him excel as [[Captain (association football)|captain]] of Manchester United from 1997 until his departure in 2005. Keane helped United achieve sustained success during his 12 years at the club, his honours including seven [[Premier League]] titles, four [[FA Cup]]s and the [[UEFA Champions League]]. He then signed for Celtic, where he won the [[Scottish Premier League]] and [[Scottish League Cup]] before he retired as a player in 2006.

==Club career==
===Cobh Ramblers===
Initially, Keane was turned down from the Ireland schoolboys squad after a trial in [[Dublin]]; one explanation from former Ireland coach and scout Ronan Scally was that the 14-year-old Keane was "just too small" to make it at the required level.<ref name="autobiography" /> Undeterred, he began applying for trials with English clubs, but he was turned down by each one. As his childhood years passed, he took up temporary jobs involving manual work while waiting for a breakthrough in his football prospects. In 1989, he eventually signed for the [[Semi-professional sports|semi-professional]] [[League of Ireland|Irish]] club [[Cobh Ramblers F.C.|Cobh Ramblers]] after persuasion from Ramblers' youth team manager Eddie O'Rourke. Keane was one of two Ramblers representatives in the inaugural FAI/FAS scheme in the [[Dublin]] suburb of [[Palmerstown]], and it was through this initiative that he got his first taste of full-time training, facilitated by living in nearby [[Leixlip]], [[County Kildare]] from Monday-Friday.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://keepitonthedeck.com/blog/2019/7/23/persistent-road-to-greatness-the-roy-keane-story|title=91 of 92 Clubs Missed Out - The Roy Keane Story|date=23 July 2019|website=Keepitonthedeck}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.balls.ie/football/roy-keanes-cobh-ramblers-career-press-cuttings-stats-215689|title=Roy Keane's Cobh Ramblers Career In Contemporary Press Cuttings And Stats|first=Conor|last=Neville|date=7 December 2016|website=Balls.ie}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.soccer-ireland.com/saipan/roy-keane/away-from-home.htm|title=Roy Keane
Keane’s Cobh senior debut came on 13 August 1989 in [[Buckley Park]] as the Rams went down 2–0 to Kilkenny City in the Opel League Cup. First
In an [[FAI Youth Cup]] match against [[Belvedere F.C.|Belvedere]] in February 1990, Keane's performance attracted the attention of watching [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] scout Noel McCabe, who asked him to travel over to England for a trial. Keane impressed Forest manager [[Brian Clough]], and eventually, a deal for Keane worth £47,000 was struck with Cobh Ramblers in the summer of 1990.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Ritter|first=Simon |title=Caught in Time: Cobh Ramblers with Roy Keane, 1990|work=[[The Times]] |date=31 October 2004|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/article501008.ece|access-date=7 December 2008|location=London}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

Keane eventually scored his first professional goal against [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]], and by 1991 he was a regular starter in the side, displacing the [[England national football team|England international]] [[Steve Hodge]]. Keane scored three goals during a run to the [[1991 FA Cup Final]], which Forest ultimately lost to Tottenham Hotspur. In the third round, however, he made a costly error against [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]], gifting a goal to the opposition and allowing them to draw the game. On returning to the dressing room after the game, Clough punched Keane in the chest in anger, knocking him to the floor.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://sport.scotsman.com/roykeane/The-man-behind-the-myth.2740443.jp|title=The man behind the myth|date=8 January 2006|work=sport.scotsman.com|access-date=13 August 2012}}</ref> Despite this incident, Keane bore no hard feelings against his manager, later claiming that he sympathized with Clough due to the pressures of management<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/2770901.stm |title=When managers attack |work=BBC Sport |date=17 February 2003 |access-date=4 January 2010 |first=Tom |last=Fordyce }}</ref> and that he was too grateful to him for giving him his chance in English football. A year later, Keane returned to Wembley with Forest for the [[1991–92 Football League Cup|Football League Cup]] [[1992 Football League Cup Final|final]] but again finished on the losing side as Manchester United secured a 1–0 win.
Keane was beginning to attract attention from the top clubs in the [[Premier League]], and in 1992, [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] manager [[Kenny Dalglish]] spoke to Keane about the possibility of a move to the [[Lancashire]] club at the end of the season. With Forest struggling in the league and looking increasingly likely to be relegated, Keane negotiated a new contract with a relegation escape clause. The lengthy negotiations had been much talked about in public, not least by Brian Clough, who described Keane as a "greedy child"<ref name="autobiography" /> due to the high wages demanded by the Irishman. "Keane is the hottest prospect in football right now, but he is not going to bankrupt this club", Clough stated. Despite the extended contract negotiations, Forest fans voted him the club's Player of the Season.<ref>{{cite news|title=Drop could spark Forest break-up|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yM5OAAAAIBAJ&dq=nottingham%20forest%20manager&pg=4583%2C990051|date=3 May 1993|access-date=13 August 2012|work=New Straits Times|agency=Reuters|location=Kuala Lumpur}}</ref> Despite his best efforts, Keane could not save Forest from relegation, and the clause in his contract became activated. Blackburn agreed to a £4 million fee for Keane, who soon after agreed to a contract with the club.
A mistake, however, prevented the move to the club: when the contract had been agreed upon, Dalglish realized they did not have the correct paperwork needed to complete the transfer. This was on a Friday afternoon, and the office had been locked up for the weekend. With a verbal agreement in place, they agreed to meet on Monday morning to complete the transfer officially. Manchester United manager [[Alex Ferguson]], hearing about the move, phoned Keane and asked whether he would like to join them instead of Blackburn. Ferguson ensured they had the paperwork ready and met up with Keane on Saturday and signed him for Manchester United for £3.75 million, a [[Progression of the British football transfer fee record|British transfer record]] at the time.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/apr/23/roy-keane-career-highs-lows |title=The highs and lows of Roy Keane's career |date=23 April 2009 |access-date=13 July 2011 |work=guardian.com |publisher=Guardian News and Media |location=London }}</ref>

Recalling his thoughts before the game, Keane said, "Although I was putting a brave face on it, this was just about the worst experience I'd had in football."

United finished the [[2001–02 Manchester United F.C. season|2001–02 season]] trophyless for the first time in four years. Domestically, they were eliminated from the [[2001–02 FA Cup|FA Cup]] by [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] in the fourth round and finished third in the Premier League, their lowest final position in the league since 1991. Progress was made in Europe, however, as United reached the semi-finals of the [[2001–02 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], their furthest advance since their successful campaign of 1999. They were eventually knocked out on away goals after a 3–3 aggregate draw with [[Bayer 04 Leverkusen|Bayer Leverkusen]], despite Keane putting United 3–2 up.
After the defeat, Keane blamed United's loss of form on some of his teammates' fixation with wealth, claiming that they had "forgot about the game, lost the hunger that got you the Rolex, the cars, the mansion".<ref name="autobiography" /> Earlier in the season, Keane had publicly advocated the breakup of the treble-winning team<ref name="Vieira">{{Cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article511049.ece |title=The top 10 Roy Keane battles |work=Times Online |date=6 February 2005 |access-date=24 September 2010 |location=London |first=John |last=Aizlewood }}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> as he believed the team-mates who had played in United's victorious 1999 Champions League final no longer had the motivation to work as hard.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2005/11/19/sfnroy19.xml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013150759/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2005/11/19/sfnroy19.xml |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 October 2007 |title=Keane exits still raging at the dying of the light |work=Daily Telegraph |location=London |first=Tim |last=Rich |date=19 November 2005 |access-date=22 May 2010 }}</ref>

An ambulance for the fan was called as well as the [[Garda Síochána]], but no arrests or complaints were made.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/Roy-Keane-centre-bizarre-hotel-4618141Z |title=Roy Keane at the centre of bizarre hotel bust-up after fan taken to hospital |work=Irish Daily Mirror |date=13 November 2014 }}{{dead link|date=May 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The FAI and Martin O'Neill came out in support of Keane after the incident.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/international/2014/1112/658885-gardai-called-to-ireland-team-hotel/|title=FAI backs Keane after incident at team hotel|publisher=RTÉ|date=13 November 2014}}</ref> It later emerged that CCTV footage exonerated Keane of any wrongdoing. The man involved in the incident is [[Brendan Grace]]'s son-in-law Frank Gillespie, who is believed to have asked Keane to sign a copy of Keane's autobiography ''The Second Half''. Keane refused to do so, and Gillespie confronted Keane but then collapsed and an ambulance was called to the hotel. Grace stated that Gillespie and Keane were "old buddies".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/cctv-footage-to-exonerate-keane-fai-30740600.html|title=CCTV footage to exonerate Keane – FAI|date=12 November 2014|work=Irish Independent}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/comic-claims-soninlaw-and-roy-old-buddies-30752860.html|title=Comic claims son-in-law and Roy 'old buddies'|work=Irish Independent|date=18 November 2014}}</ref>
After the Scotland game, Keane claimed that Everton were putting pressure on the Irish players like [[Séamus Coleman]] and [[James McCarthy (footballer)|James McCarthy]] (who missed the Scotland match through injury) to pull out of international squads; Everton chairman [[Bill Kenwright]] refuted this claim, saying Keane says "stupid things".

==Style of play==
Regarded as one of the best midfielders of his generation, Keane was a powerful, dominant, consistent, and highly competitive midfielder. In his prime, Keane was known for his work
In his later career, however, he modified his playing style and became more cautious in his play, occupying a deeper role, in order to compensate for his physical decline and loss of mobility following his hip operation, and attempted to avoid receiving so many bookings as a result of outbursts or reckless challenges. An influential presence on the pitch, in addition to his playing ability, Keane also stood out for his leadership and determination throughout his career, as well as his strong character. However, he also struggled out with injuries throughout his career.{{#tag:ref|See<ref name="FIFA 100"/><ref name="autobiography" /><ref name="manutdzone" /><ref>{{cite
