0.0

On June 12, 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 the news was greeted with a storm of speculation, with some suggesting that he had left the Old Firm giants after a series of bust-ups with his manager Gordon Strachan, while others claimed he had never got over his abrupt departure from Manchester United. With the help of those who know Keane best, this work paints an illuminating picture of what makes this complex man tick, investigating 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.
