Roy Keane on The Tommy Tiernan Show

incredible to say. You are one of the most incredible athletes this country has ever produced, but no, no, Bots, no, but nothing true, that's the shirt. You can't lead a world football team like Man United, lead them if you're just a traveller. it's easy to lead good players with good character very very easy it's hard for you to accept a compliment you know? I don't know again. I play a lot of football when I watch the games and when I was a child. watching football, but when I finally became a senior player in Manunidos after playing two or 300 games in you and the responsibility comes to you you don't look for it you don't look for the captaincy for example you know the coach obviously you see something the captain gives you like that that you don't apply because it was very easy before any important game and I look over my shoulder and see that the players are behind me and I say to myself: would schmeichel scalzi concerts be your guys? and I looked over my shoulder and I think "I think we've got a chance today, I might just shake it for a moment, so there's a couple of cliché moments that play in the Roy Keane reel that Sky Sports put together and then said it's what interests me over what you." I'm saying there and looking back behind you and seeing these phenomenal players and when we have a chance, but there is also a feeling that you are the leader because, from the little I know of the incident, Vieira in the tunnel because he He's given Gary Nava a goth and you stepped in to protect Gary Neville.

Now where does that sense of ownership come up against? That sort of thing would have been really annoying with the Arsenal players. Would it be Gary or not? I just think it's the most normal thing in the world to go out and defend your teammates, you want your team to be missing, eh, I would like to go into battle with him and that's what we wanted, that's what we had at United for several years. Alex Fergus always leaves clear the point before the important games, you are sitting in the locker room, you know you are sitting, are you happy with the boys, the next gym, yes, let's move on to the war, after that, our livelihood, they are after our trophies , they are behind? or whatever and uh and I loved it but believe it or not when I stopped playing I didn't miss it and I never stopped playing it's really strange because it was all it represented to the game.

I'm going back to my Rockmont days. my year called rounders three years of forest United 12 and a half years and obviously I was a few months at Celtic that's what I defended and then I said no, it's over now you're fine, I've never missed it, which is very, very nice because many players can't let him go and I was convinced that he would be one of them. I thought I would never stop playing. You would be trying to hold on to the past, but honestly. It was brilliant because I knew in a part of my mind that it was with the angel.

I knew I had given it my all anyway, yeah, no, this wasn't everyone's cup of tea, obviously, and there are some consequences along the way, but physically I knew. In the end, like my last season, I

ed my hamster three times because I know he wasn't running properly because he wasn't in shape. Your physical condition was not adequate and you are taking painkillers to train. I went up on Saturday and I was quite embarrassed. capable of getting Celtic back their wages and that's why I said no, I can't do it. I'm very embarrassed physically, I can't do it, so when I stopped it was like that, I kept going, but I've been lucky because I've obviously stayed involved in football, yes, in management and obviously welcome back to Ireland.

A little television. I'm still proud of a team that you see when you watch TV. What you run away from a team you're supposed to walk there. I've got ITV, there's other experts, there's guys I obviously used to kick lumps out of, and to be fair, they kick my gloves and they know how you're doing, but that's what you have to do. with that because a lot of scouts sit back and think you know, come on, you know, poor me, you know, but you've got to move, you've got to move and you've got to go out and do something, training badges, the TV walk and whatnot. be. you might have to go down to survive I guess so, you were born a leader anyway you know, um, no, I don't see it that way.

I won't agree beyond that, thank you for leaving the
