Product Description
Product Description
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 he had left the Old Firm giants after a series of bust-ups 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.

Sorry, this book was poor; very disappointing. The writer clearly just dusted off some old newspaper match reports and stuck them together. No insight, no analysis just a mundane reporting of the facts. My advice: get a different biography.

I am a Keane fan since he arrived at my football club as manager. I have made it my duty to increase my knowledge about the great footballer. Worralls book is most certainly factual and inciteful if not just a little biased at times, and why not. If you have read Keanes autobiography I would suggest that this book gives little more information about the man and my recommendation would be to read one or the other or if you are a really avid Keane fan do read both but don't expect a great difference.
