Roy Keane-Manchester United (1993-2005)

I am still in total shock that Keano is leaving my beloved Manchester United with immediate effect. He did hint that he might be leaving at the end of the season, but why did he cut short his stay?? For 12 years, Keano has been the inspirational leader for the club. He has a talent for rousing his players around him to play above their standards during matches. He is a straight-talking guy who never holds back when he sees something is wrong. I admire these kind of people, because they are honest in their remarks which,most of the time, are true. Some people can talk trash for all they like, but when it comes to themselves, they can't do it. Not Keano. He always sets himself high standards and determined to maintain it. I admire his kind of people-People who make a difference, an impact, which affects the people around him.

Perhaps the management level of the club could not tolerate his latest too-harsh criticism of some players that they decide to take him out, immediately, to prevent any unrest among the players. Miss him we will, but I am sure Manchester United Football CLub is able to find another player whose leadership and inspiration will at least match that of the great Roy Keane.
