Roy
Keane Books |
Keano became
a true legend at Manchester United. He joined from Nottingham
Forest in 1993 for then a British record transfer of £3.75m.
He won seven Premiership titles during his time at Old Trafford,
plus four FA Cups, and was a Champions League winner in 1999,
although he was suspended for the final at the Nou Camp. Keane
was a hard tackling midfielder who took no enemies, just ask
Alfe Inge Haaland, Mick McCarthy and Patrick Viera. After
he criticised his fellow team mates whilst appearing on MUTV,
it didn't go down well with the club and Roy left United in
December 2005, spending a season at Celtic before becoming
Sunderland's manager. |

Roy Keane: Portrait of a Legend |

Roy
Keane is one of the most notorious figures in modern football.
On and off the pitch, he's a huge presence - outspoken, determined,
talented, respected - and wherever he goes he's always creating
fireworks. His career has seen more than it's far share of
thrills and spills, with ferocious tackles, inspired leadership,
bust-ups and brilliant goals just everyday occurrences in
Roy's world. From the early days of his growing reputation
at Nottingham Forest, to his enduring brilliance as the midfield
engine of the record-breaking Manchester United side under
Sir Alex Ferguson, he's kept the crowds' and critics' attention
as perhaps the most dominant force in British football. Throughout
his fantastic carer, his trademark aggression and determination
on the pitch have meant that he can turn a game around in
seconds. It is these same qualities, however, that have often
led to him hitting the headlines. Keane has always courted
controversy - his robust attitude on and off the pitch have
kept him in the spotlight for much of his life in football
but, as this book shows, he is also an honourable man dedicated
to doing the right thing by himself and others. For his beloved
Ireland, too, his presence was at turns talismanic and troubled.
His dramatic exit from World Cup 2002 found him in the glare
of publicity once more, sent home before Ireland had even
finished training. Keane's disputes with the Ireland manager
forced him to miss the chance to captain his country in football's
greatest tournament. Despite being marred by a long-standing
hip injury, a spell at Scottish champions Celtic in the 2005-6
season confirmed his desire to remain involved in the top
flight of football. But for Keane, new challenges came in
the form of management and his now managing the resurgent
Sunderland AFC. This fully up-to-date book reveals all about
both man and football player; with insider details from those
closest to Roy, as well as members of the public who have
encountered him in their everyday lives. Released April 2007. |

On
12 June 2006, in a move that shocked his legions of fans at
Celtic and Manchester United, Roy Keane announced his retirement
from football. Keane claimed the decision was forced on him
by a hip injury, but was that the real story? The news was
greeted with a storm of speculation, and some suggested that

with manager Gordon Strachan. Others claimed he had never
got over his abrupt departure from Manchester United the previous
November. In this revealing biography, Frank Worrall goes
behind the headlines to reveal the real Roy Keane. With the
help of those who know Keane best, he builds up an illuminating
picture of what makes this complex man tick and lays bare
his inner demons. From Keane's early days in Cork, through
his learning period with Brian Clough, on to his golden era
at United and his farewell at Celtic, this is an engrossing
look at a man who has been the most talked-about British footballer
of his generation. Hardback released April'06. Paperback released

Built |
By

Publishers
O'Brien Press |

01
September 2001, Lansdowne Road: Ireland vs Holland. With the
Dutchmen standing firmly between them and the World Cup, the
task Ireland faced seemed impossible to fulfil. What followed,
however, was completely unexpected. In one of the biggest
upsets ever seen in soccer the Irish team beat the formidable
Dutch team to gatecrash the party. But for Mick McCarthy and
Roy Keane - the chief architects of this extraordinary achievement
- there was no warm victory embrace. They shook hands briefly
and awkwardly. In a moment that foreshadowed the most extraordinary
debacle in Irish sporting history, the manager and his captain
behaved like strangers, with no hint of the cameraderie said
to exist in the team. Paul Howard examines the complex and
explosive dynamic between the two men who brought the Irish
team to the World Cup, but whose relationship could not endure
to the final round. He talks to the players, the management
team and the fans, and raises serious questions about the
FAI and its handling of the situation. |
