Roy Keane is the heart and soul of the world's greatest football club, Manchester United (Man Utd). On the field he is a born leader with a fiery temper, adored and worshipped by fans, feared and envied by rivals. It has been said of Roy that he is one of the most influential players of his generation, setting football standards by which others measure themselves. But as with so many things in life that are worth having, such success was the product of many years of dedicated training, self belief, intelligence and the highest level of motivation and integrity; traits that are common amongst all successful professional people.

He has a very low tolerance for sluggish play and through his fiery temper will shout out his thoughts without hesitance on the football field.
