Keane, meanwhile, has also admitted to an altercation with former team-mate Peter Schmeichel which left the goalkeeper with a black eye.

The pair came to blows during a pre-season tour of Asia in 1998, though the 43-year-old revealed there was alcohol involved.

"He [Schmeichel] said, ‘I’ve had enough of you, It’s time we sorted this out.’ So I said ‘Okay’ and we had a fight. It felt like 10 minutes. There was a lot of noise – Peter’s a big lad.

“I woke up the next morning. I kind of vaguely remembered the fight. My hand was really sore and one of my fingers was bent backwards.

“The manager had a go at us as we were getting on the bus, and people were going on about a fight in the hotel the night before. It started coming back to me - the fight between me and Peter.

“In the meantime, Nicky Butt had been filling me in on what had happened the night before. Butty had refereed the fight. Anyway, Peter had grabbed me, I’d head-butted him – we’d been fighting for ages.

“At the press conference, Peter took his sunglasses off. He had a black eye. The questions came at him: ‘Peter, what happened to your eye?"





lol, I imagine the book will be pretty much this material throughout

now i understand ur comments. rating Rolando as decent is like rating eder as good ( ur favourite striker btw). shows ur view about football xD.

ROY KEANE’S FINAL days as a Manchester United player were one war-of-words after another, according to his new book The Second Half which will be released this week.

Today, the Daily Express posted a sneak peak of one of the book’s highlights: Keane’s account of the fall-out from his now infamous never-to-be-aired 2005 MUTV interview and the argument with coach Carlos Queiroz that appeared to force Alex Ferguson into pushing the Corkman out the door.

Keane famously turned Queiroz’ question of loyalty back on the Portuguese coach, saying: “You left this club after 12 months a few years ago for the Real Madrid job. Don’t you dare question my loyalty.”

From there however, it would seem that Keane could not hold his tongue any longer. Keane raised the prospect of mixing up the squad’s training routine. And after Queiroz protested that players instead needed repetition, the Express report:
“Keane replied by asking him if he always made love to his wife in the same position.”

That’s when Ferguson stopped the argument, but Keane would not to be hushed:
“You as well gaffer. We need fucking more from you. We need a bit more, gaffer. We’re slipping behind other teams.”

Edwin Van Der Sar, who had just joined the club the previous June was, according to Keane, the only player to object to his scathing assertions on MUTV by suggesting a ‘different tone’ might have been taken.
Keane’s response?
“Edwin, why don’t you shut the fuck up? You’ve been at this club for two minutes and you’ve done more interviews than I’ve done in my 12 years. It was MUTV – I had to do it.”

Two days after the meeting when Keane was summoned (via his agent Michael Kennedy) to a meeting with Ferguson and chief executive David Gill. The club captain knew his fate was as good as sealed: “They’re going to try and get rid of me.”
However, he was still shocked at how prepared Gill, Ferguson and the club were for the parting of the ways, illustrated by a prepared written statement that was ready to go before Keane had been told his future.
“They had it all ready. It was another little hand grenade they threw at me. Not an hour later, or two hours, or after the severance negotiations – it was already written.”

He was Portugal's top scorer along with Rui Costa in the 2004 Euro, and he was one of the 3 portuguese to be included in the tournament's best XI... and this was before he was considered world class, so it's not like he was someone who would automatically be given awards regardless of his performance just because he has a reputation.

The worst thing is people will actually read this trash.

Keane's book will just be like any drunken Irishman's bio, just instead of his happenings being with fellow dockworkers and pub folk, replace those with United players

1 useless goal vs greece if i recall properly in a lost game.

and a lucky header.

2 goals. PORTUGAL's GOALSCORER indeed.

I do remember his useless dribbles though. The failed ones too.

Truth is figo >>>>>> as a winger.

As a striker i could name probably 10 better ones.
