Keano: We Love You!!!!

Oh this one i just could'nt leave out. Had posted it on the 18th of November 2006. This is when Roy Keane retired. Anyway read below.
Roy Keane • Born: 10 Aug 1971, Cork, Ireland • Signed: 19 July 1993, from Nottingham Forest • Fee: £3.75million • Other Previous Clubs: Cobh Ramblers • Debut: 7 Aug 1993 v Arsenal - Charity Shield • International Team: Republic of Ireland What can i say about him... A leader? A Legend? I'd sure go with the legend. Whatever your view on Roy Keane, there’s no doubt he is the centerof the unwavering spirit and desire to succeed that Manchester United stands for.Few sportsmen lead from the front in the way Keane does, both on and off the pitch. Images of him rallying his team-mates whilst covering every inch of grass have been, and still are, frequent occurrences on the field. Keane went on to win the first of his seven Premiership medals in his debut season and has since added a European Cup, an Intercontinental Cup and four FA Cup winners’ medals to his collection. He took over the captaincy from Eric Cantona (another great player) in 97-98 and led United to the treble in 98-99. One of the highlights in his career was winning the treble... besides ofcourse being named the Footballer of the Year and the Players' Player of the Year in 2000. After 12 seasons with Manchester United keane is now leaving behind a huge gap to fill in.How much we would love to have him with us playing for Manchester United and ending his career here where he has been most loyal but all good thigs come to an end...... We'll miss you keano!
