The former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has some interesting opinions of his former captain Roy Keane in his new autobiography:
“The hardest part of Roy’s body is his tongue, He has the most savage tongue you can imagine. He can debilitate the most confident person in the world in seconds.
“With Roy, there were episodes of great friction and dramas he tried to impose his will on the team. On one occasion, as I came in to the dressing room, Roy and Ruud van Nistelrooy were at it, hammer and tongs. They had to be pulled apart by the players. At least Van Nistelrooy had the courage to stand up to Roy, because not everyone did. He was an intimidating, ferocious individual. He mode when angry was to attack, lay into people.
“I believe – and [assistant] Carlos Queiroz was at one with me on this – that Roy Keane’s behaviour patterns changes when he realised he was no longer the Roy Keane of old. We’re certain of that. Acting on a conviction that some of this strengths had been stolen from him by injury and age, we tried to change his job description, for his benefit as much as ours.”
