Roy Keane

He is a legend that briefly played for his boyhood heroes. Shame it took him so long to fall out with Fergie.

 

If he had stayed for a couple of years at the end of his career then i would have been delighted. But that he only stayed 4 months makes me feel that the club got used. Playing for Celtic should not be something to tic off quickly before you retire.

 

A Man U legend. An Ireland traitor. Nothing in Celtic terms although I thought he helped push team 2 over the line when we wobbled a bit.

 

didn't do anything at parkhead, he just wanted to play for us before he retired

 

wasn't here long enough to be considered a Celtic legend imo , I also don't think he was a " chancer " though

 

Firstly lets get something straight. Roy Keane supported Tottenham Hotspurs as a youngster, Celtic was secondary.

Football Legend but not a Celtic Legend.

 

i actually read an interview with him in nuts magazine today and he said he was never a great player, although i suppose he could hardly say "i was amazing"!

 

legend for celtic?? you mad??? you cant become a legend just because you support a team he played 10 games or some thing was mince for about 6 of them and collected a cool>>>> est 1 million for playing 10 games and scoring 1 goal that bounced of 3 defenders before hitting the net. I also believe if you support a club you shouldn,t be there for the money, i personally would play for * all, i wouldnt fleece my club out of money!!!! He was a legend for man yuuuuuuuuu but

And before some 1 hits me with figures saying he was offerd £50 grand a week and just asked for £15 a dont believe that 1 bit, he would have been on about £30 grand a week imo, if not more, but i do agree he did not come up for 1 last pay day

 

No wonder the word gets banded about too easily

 

Man Utd legend, not a Celtic legend by any stretch, that's just ridiculous. Anyway, he's a thug.

 

never a holding midfielder at any time in his career always box to box

 

Do you want to have a bet on that?

 

He was box to box till his legs started to go, then he became a holding midfielder, kind of like what we did to hartley.

 

Played in front of the back four in his last couple of seasons at United, his box to box days where well over

 

No more a legend than you or I. We are Celtic supporters too!!

 

Nowhere near a Celtic legend, came here for a few months.
Unless he scored 20 goals, danced around players, and kicked Novo in the balls all in his time, then maybe.

 

agree with your first point, why was he a thug, did he go round robbin' grannys pensions?

He was brought up in a tough working class area of cork were they eat there young and that moulded him...

He talks about seein the red mist, but sure doesnt everybody?

 

Not a legend for Celtic, but probabily a footballing legend!

 

i read this too
cant believe that noones picked up on it tobe honest

 

Most influential footballer during the premier league era, an absolute winner and a United legend, at the same level that only a handful, very illustrious players have been in the history of United (Charlton, Best, Law, Edwards, Giggs and Cantona).

Yes, he was a thug, like Tommy Smith or Souness were a thug for liverpool or Peter Storey for Arsenal, but on top of that he was a brilliant footballer, one of the bests I've ever seen. And the kind of player you'd adore if he played for your club and made you win trophies.
