ประวัติคร่าวๆอีกทีของรอย คีน Born: 10 Aug 1971, Cork(ไม่น่าเชื่อว่าเมืองนี้จะสร้างนักเตะแมนยูถึงสองคน คือคีนกับเออร์วิน), Ireland Signed: 19 July 1993, from Nottingham Forest Fee: £3.75million Other Previous Clubs: Cobh Ramblers Debut: 7 Aug 1993 v Arsenal - Charity Shield International Team: Republic of Ireland
Whatever your view on Roy Keane, theres no doubt he is the epitome of the unwavering spirit and desire to succeed that Manchester United stands for.
Few sportsmen lead from the front in the way Keane does, both on and off the pitch.
Images of him rallying his team-mates whilst covering every blade of grass have been, and still are, frequent occurrences on the field. He is also not afraid to speak his mind in front of the media, particularly if he feels his colleagues are not reaching the high standards he expects.
The Cork-born midfielder began his career with Cobh Ramblers after failing to gain an apprenticeship in English football.
Brian Clough later took him to Nottingham Forest before he completed a then record £3.75million switch to Old Trafford in the summer of 1993.
Keane began his United career with two goals on his home debut in a 3-0 win over Sheffield United.
The combative midfielder went on to win the first of his seven Premiership medals in his debut season and has since added a European Cup, an Intercontinental Cup and four FA Cup winners medals to his collection.
He took over the United captaincy from Eric Cantona at the start of 97/98 campaign, but his season was cut short by a cruciate knee ligament injury sustained in a tackle with Leeds Alf-Inge Haaland at Elland Road in September 1997.
The 98/99 season saw Keane experience a range of mixed fortunes. On his way to leading United to their historic Treble, a sending-off in the FA Cup semi-final replay victory over Arsenal was followed by a yellow card during arguably his greatest display in a Red shirt in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Juventus, forcing him to miss that unforgettable night in Barcelona when United were crowned European Champions.
Aside from his influential displays for United, Keane - a former winner of both the Footballer of the Year and the Players' Player of the Year awards in 2000 - has also proved an inspiration to his country and he now has over 50 caps for the Republic of Ireland.
A huge bust-up with former Republic boss Mick McCarthy which led to Keanes premature departure from the 2002 World Cup looked to have put paid to his international career, but he made a shock return to action in May 2004.
Despite his ageing limbs, Keane - whose current United contract runs out at the end of the 2005/06 season - continues to be an inspiration to all those around him.
