Roy Keane: Portrait of a Legend

by Stafford Hildred, Tim Ewbank

Roy Keane is one of the most notorious figures in modern soccer. On and off the field, he's a huge presence who is outspoken, determined, talented, respected. 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 soccer. Keane has always courted controversy—his robust attitude on and off the field have kept him in the spotlight for much of his life in soccer but, as this title shows, he is also an honorable man dedicated to doing the right thing by himself and others. This fully up-to-date book reveals all about both man and soccer player; with insider details from those closest to Roy, as well as members of the public who have encountered him in their everyday lives.
