Keane bottled it when it was put up to him by Walters. Still grates with him too. Although I wouldn’t blame him Walters is a tough nut. I can’t wait to see the reaction when Walters is assistant to Carsley.
You won’t ever hear the actual Irish lads committed to the cause whinging about Roy Keane. It’s always the failed English types who ever only over because of their agents.
Spent his summers in Ireland too. It appears that Keane still has a pick on Walters over his decision to leave Ipswich for Stoke back in 2010. A decision that was totally vindicated as he went on to have a good career in the Premier League, Keane was sacked by that January and Ipswich haven’t been promoted to the Premier League in the 13 years since.
Graham Kavanagh is supposed to have had the better of Keane in an office altercation at Sunderland according to Greg Halford.
Renowned fat bastard and decentish goalscorer Neil Shipperly said that Damien Duff drove around with a novelty DUFF11 number plate that he got made up in Selfridges for 6 week just after the World Cup 2002. When his error was pointed out to him, He immediately spent about 4k getting a legitimate DUFF11 and was very relieved to have avoided trouble. The players at Blackburn feared for him in London but he did well.
