Really weird to find out Roy Keane is a genuinely nice bloke.

We loved him up in Sunderland. Brought a buzz to the city. Class times

@@harry4901 sad mag B
Would you take him back?
@@josephgregson6358 would have before Neil only based of sentiment but never works for SAFC that 😂
@@jack0511M he did really well initially but then the lack of experience probably crept in after some time in the job and things started going wrong. Even with experienced managers sometimes they have a couple of off seasons before pulling things around again. Sometimes club's just need to stick with their manager a lot longer and give them a decent amount of time, and understand sometimes you have ups and downs. So much money involved these days though, and fan's have zero patience too.
At my club I hope the owners and fans give Howe a good crack of it. Let him build a side over several seasons. if you have seasons of stagnation sometimes it's not all bad. I think Bobby Robson finished 13th, 11th and 11th building the base, until the summer of 2001 and added some of the final pieces and we took off finishing 4th and 3rd getting champions league.
Carlos Edwards was scoring form 25 yards out, you think that was down to me. Absolutely refreshing to hear from a manager.
Him saying that is just another dig at Alex it really is the man is a header .He cant let something go even hear him still going on about the West Brom manager Tony Mullbury or whatever his name is but years later and he still brings up him up .Although its has to be said a truly truly world class player for a lot of years in a leauge where a lot of so called world class players found out they were'nt so world class after all .
@@deppresedonion6320 no i think its that players win games not managers

@@dylanwyatt-brown3624 this is because the he is an onion that is depressed
It’s actually crazy how many people forget about this achievement. He was very unlucky with Ipswich after.
He spent loads of money at ipswich and wasted it and bought in poor players but he was a character it was never boring never knew what he was going to do next he was brilliant at Sunderland I agree from Somerset

@@maxwellboyne2770 ah yes, taking over and getting a team at the bottom of the Championship relegation to winning it and Premier promotion was a terrible job.
" the wife sometimes " hahah Roy is a class act. A man you have to respect when it comes to football
I answer to noone, except the wife sometimes that was brilliant lol
I still believe he has something to offer in management in the modern game... Surrounded by good coaches he could do something special again.
Not a hope ..
He’s biggest problem.. he starts fights with himself in a phone box
He’s trouble ..
he’s a trouble maker ..

I was at the Burnley game, when at 2-2 I was talking to my partner on the phone in Middlesbrough, when Carlos Edwards scored that thunderbolt and the whole stadium just erupted, 44,000 screaming Sunderland fans and my partner was complaining about the noise and asked what just happened. I managed to tell her that Carlos Edwards had just scored before losing my voice totally. I got home about 1am after the game and was back at work at 5am with no voice and everybody at work was taking the piss out of me, but I didn't care I was so happy that we were promoted. What Roy Keane achieved that season was truly amazing and I'll never forget that season or that Burnley game.
Brilliant documentary and Roy is just simply a legend.
I love this man! Started supporting safc the year before where we finished bottom of the premier league on 15 points when I was 9 years old back in 05-06. That championship season under Roy Keane was the beginning of my true obsession with football and safc. My step dad got me into footy but Roy Keane got me obsessed and I will always appreciate him for that. He's one of my childhood hero's. Absolute legend!
🤣
That's a good memory and shows why we love the game
Keane is captivating viewing. He is absolute tv gold.
He’s box office.
Roy Keane. Underrated. 1 of the best ever.
Honestly, I want Keane as part of Ten Hag’s back room. Somebody to keep the players in check and determined. Show them what it’s actually like to play for Manchester United.
Deserves a statue as well but it will never happen because of the Glazers, the board and his relationship with Sir Alex
Prima Donna's won't take orders off Roy. He's been there wore the t shirt. He was a dick back in the 90s had a run in with him and his brother when they were pissed in the Britanna hotel in manchester . But massive respect as a pundit from a Leeds fan and dublin lad
It would never happen Keane comes from the sir Alex and Brian cough and even Martin o Neil none of them are to technical I don’t think Keane would enjoy being under someone like ten or pep. Klopp he would obvs if he wasn’t at Liverpool
@@craigmoore4876 No chance Keano would allow a statue of himself anyway
Ten Hag isn't fit to clean Roy Keane's boots.
I’d completely forgotten just how good a job he did up there, it’s actually mind blowing. I’m a lifelong Chelsea supporter but really like Keano👍
HE will always be a legend at SUNDERLAND..... we still love him.
As an Everton fan, that season for Sunderland was unreal...
The last day of the transfer window when we bought Kav, Wallace, Varga , Miller ( RIP) was amazing. From getting hammered at Southend to that in about 3 weeks. Class signings
greatest season ever! been a SAFC fan for 24 years and never will forget that year! what a manager, what a team!
I'm a toon fan and shouldn't really say it but I quite enjoyed watching sunderlands journey that season.
I didn't watch the games (just the odd highlights here and there), I meant watching the situation and rise up the table, and keeping and eye on results etc.
@@frankdux5693nice
Keane is such an interesting guy.. one of those people that everyone listens too 🔝
I love Roy. Legend of a man, coach, and a player
As an Irishman, I say, "Roy Keane is football". He embodies everything I believe about the game. Legend. Oh, I should mention I live in Cork....the Keane Capital! Love to Roy!!! And his dad Mossy who I had a few pints with in the Rob Roy in Cork city once or twice. Top men the Keanes!
I live in west Cork but we have a family connections in the city, including Lotomore. Been in the Rob Roy and Fob & Gill a few times.
Nice

Love Roy as pundit but even more for what he did for Sunderland, it was my first season ticket and I’ll never forget that season ever.
What a bloody good watch that was.
The championship roy keane season has been my favorite season by far.
Haway the lads
Absolutely love roy keane like, would take him back at sunderland any day. Natural born winner...gave me goosebumps this. What a time this was having a season ticket as a 10 year old
Keano = legend!
Proper proper man, giving all the credit to players and accepting all the blame for himself. He has so much gratitude and never changing his values of commitment,hard work and focus.
Top man top manager! That goal from Carlos Edwards against Burnley was a thing of beauty 😍
Roy Keane just comes across as a true gentleman. Proper person and not fake. As real and as hard as they come
As a Luton fan, when you took Carlos Edwards I knew we were gone, and you were going up. Sad we were in such a state at the time, but so happy to see Carlos get his chance in the premier league the following year. My favourite player at the time, and what a player he was👏🏻
Luton suck
He'll always be a hero in Sunderland, we loved him then & still love him now. We have a new hero in Alex Neill & he's a good fit for the club & vice versa but Keano was something else.
Do you think Neill can get you guys promoted again this year? Wycombe fan 😭🤣
Alex Neil is a good manager. It'll be interesting to see how yous do. For some strange reason the promoted sides through the playoffs seem to usually do the best from the 3 that go up.
Maybe mid table next year for you.
Toon fan.
Alex Neil is a 🐍
The buzz he brought to the stadium was just what we needed at that point. Will forever be grateful for his time with us 🙏🏻🔴⚪️
I was young at the time, I watched Keane in his best years for united. In my opinion in the top 3 best captains of any team. I believed years ago he would always go on to manage united. I understand more now and see the politics of football. There’s still a tiny bit of me wants him to manage united. What an absolute legend, that will back down to no man woman child or animal. Keane is legendary.
Roy deserves a chance at a big club. Some people are afraid off him because he’s a winner???They are growing ass men.
Would Man U give him that chance?
I love his understated manner. He is a real winner. He did wonders at Mackemland
Roy Keane is old school!! turned up rolled up his sleeves and got stuck in!!!full stop... modern day player I'm afraid is soft ,soft soft!!!! Give me old school any day... i miss them days...
Unforgettable memories Keano transformed the place top man.
Come back Roy. From a South African Sunderland fan.
Great viewing, great memories, great achievement. The bloke is a legend and the crop of players we had that season rose to the challenge. FTM ! 👍🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@toonboy2658 oh dear, the stalker strikes again 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@JordanCarr44 🤣🤣🤣🤣 dry yer eyes mate
I'm from Cobh in Cork, now I currently live in London. Roy Keane was one of the biggest influences in my life growing up, I am now 30 years old. Just watched the whole video and honestly it is so encouraging for our people to see an Irishman succeed as well as he did! We are a population of less than 5 million so there is not a huge roster of people that can become global superstars but this man paved the way for us to be proud of where we came from. You're a fookin legend Roy, the Ramblers will always back you- my grandad was Jim Burke of Cobh Ramblers if you remember him when you played, he sold you to Nottingham Forest! You have done us all proud Keano, forever a hero to all and hopefully one day we can meet up for that tea and sandwich haha!
I am an Arsenal fan so you probably won't give a fook ya legend ya!!! God Bless!
Fellow Irish in London. Always be proud.
Wtf are you talking about. Wales have an even smaller population and there's loads of famous Welsh people. Zeta Jones, Tom Jones, Giggs, Bale, Bassey,...there must be loads of famous people from Ireland.
@@ButherLi55ett not in sport. Mcgregor, Keano and Sonia- that's about it who are globally known maybe not even Sonia

Some of my best memories as a Sunderland fan this season. Absolutely loved Keane as our manager
" It's all about the players". That's a massive humble quote. World class player, world class chatting too.
Toon fan but really enjoyed this. Keane is a refreshing figure in football for his honesty and he pulled off a miracle that season
I love Roy Keane's guage of teams.
-not bad
-half decent
-decent
When your standards are so high.
That shot of keane brooding while the players celebrate promotion is class 😂
He's right about Carlos Edwards. He was a great signing at the time for Sunderland
We had him at Wrexham at the beginning of his career and he's still the best I've seen in the last 20 years for us
He would make a great manager. He worked under the best, Brian clough
Criminally underated manager
An intelligent, deep thinking individual.
Gotta disagree a little with Roy. I love that he's humble and wants to give all the credit to the boys and their hard work... but he deserves a slice for identifying a good mix of additions to the side, adding good depths of talent, work ethic, leadership, and experience, as well as making good choices in whom to let go of and move on. He assembled an excellent side, and what they achieved together is something that will never be forgotten.
Rou Keane is an exceptional manager , ultimate gaffer to learn from Sir ALex Ferguson
Roy Keane needs to build a team of coaches, scouts & etc, have a team/project & go abroad. He's too stuck in the EPL bubble, if he tries somewhere in Eastern Europe, Bundesliga, France... he'd develop more as a manager. He's tough but in EPL, too many divas & less hunger... if he goes to a underdeveloped league/nation in terms of finances, finds raw talent, with coaches & himself as manager he'd do something beautiful.
so true mate, would love to see something like that
The Irish connection with Sunderland is class.. Greetings from Celtic Glasgow..Until The Last Rebel..
Keano keano 1 in a million he is his passion everything the love for football this is the man
Would be unreal if he went back to United as a manager
As a Sunderland fan, definitely a great period, not perfect but one hell of a journey.
2006/2007 one of the most memorable seasons I can recall. We came from nowhere to build an unbelievable momentum that took us to the Premier League. Keane was outstanding that season. We were in a poor state when to took over and he transformed the place.
The signings of Edwards, Simpson and Jonny Evans were down to Keane and they made the difference in the second half of the season.
Wonder where we'd be if he hadn't had left 🤔. Loved that season Keono first came in and the 2-1 win against the mags was class. A true legend not just at Man U but Sunderland aswell.
Not a United fan, not a Sunderland fan (albeit I like them as a club) but Roy Keane is a Top man. A true, natural leader. I’m a former military officer and Roy oozes natural leadership quality.
I agree 100% with what you say there. Roy Keane would ave been a great leader if he would have been in a factory or in the army.
He was just so determined to do his role no matter what industry he was in. And I wish I was like that to his extreme.
Cheers dits
No dits spun mate.
Yes he does. His leadership skills are so subtle they are almost invisible - as they should be. His integrity, morals and values are clear for everyone to see and because he has the correct morals and values people gravitate to him. That builds trust very quickly which leads to positive morale and motivation. I think you already know this from your experience 👍🏻
I love Roy Keane. I always said I think Cantona knew the writing was on the wall when Keane started to impose his authority on the team. I never thought we’d replace Bryan Robson or the likes of King Eric but having Keane in the team was like having 12 players not 11. He was everywhere & was Fergie on the pitch. Seems like he’s mellowed over the years. Funny and intelligent with values. Hope he gets another chance as manager one day soon.
I could listen to this guy talk for hours! You can see he was a great leader in his interviews…he commands the room and makes you listen.
Roy isn't an angry guy. He is just passionate 😆 True winner. Even when he looses. Gives everything and the players respected that and gave everything back. That's the true key. Respect. Not the kind you see where people say they respect you but give nothing. People thought the hairdryer treatment was bad. Keano does karate kicks 😆😆😆
The one and only Roy Keane.. Can't get enough of this man..i love listening to his interviews..too good 👍👍👍👍
Those Carlos Edwards goals are carved in my memory, from the west stand all you could see was the back of the net almost burst! Cracking memories
Even as a Newcastle fan I must say Keane done a brilliant job with them and he deserved more opportunities in management, I think he'd do a good job for them even now
Players need to be pampered these days, soft as $hite
@Fire TV nope. He's tactically useless for the modern game as shown by his punditry. Did well at Sunderland as they had the best squad
Such an admirable person. I always love his take on everything.
Unbelievable Roy Keane what a great achievement here brilliant story
Legend.
Just A Pure Legend In General Roy Keane So Humble It's Just Amazing U Wood Want Roy Keane Any Dressing Room The Man Is Just Pure Football
Great memories of Keano at SAFC. Superb job. And the bloke fitted the club.
Mad how watching a TV documentary on RUclips makes you realise just how weak TV content is in terms of best practice attention retention. I'm 5 minutes in, and the documentary hasn't started yet. Just a plethora of looping B-Roll about the situation prior to Keane starting the job. I think I've seen some clips repeated FIVE TIMES!!! Madness.
Should be managing Manchester United basically did through all our glory years According to all the players he said when training could be cancelled or not according to Steve McClaren he was the one that made them play as good as they did
Legend. Very simple and always honest...RESPECT...as for the knowledge about football I won't even comment on this, I am sure where ever he goes to work he will bring success...
RIP Liam Miller
Yes and Marton fulop RIP
Great doc. Great guy. Wish him back into management one day wherever he ends up.
Thank you very much for this!! Really loved it and glad you've shared on RUclips! Please produce more of these and get them up on RUclips!!
9:33 someone not paid for their licence? 😂
What a great documentary. This is exactly what I want from this channel. Looking forward to more!
Weird how he's always referred to as a failure when it comes to management. He was a success. People seem to assume that if you don't win a trophy, regardless of which team you manage, then you're a failure
He was definitely a failure
He did brilliantly
@@MyCold1 he did terribly. Proven at Ipswich.
What did he win.,.nothing.n
@john dunne what 🏆
What a bloke ! Grinned from ear to ear the whole time watching this !
Not sure why he hasn't gotten another chance
Top guy
Vastly misunderstood
Love him
i think its players like agbonlahor who complained about how tough he was in the changing room
@Rain In July it wasn't a fair chance then...
Media have him tarnished. He stood up for himself against a lot of influencial people in the game. And as a repercussion he’s been branded as a mad man as a manager and not given credit for his achievements. That’s why he did this doc think about it. It’s basically a pitch for a job to try and change the publics opinion of him on his terms
@@walshknwsbest I guess you right
@Rain In July it wasnt the money they only wanted him on a contract till end of the season to see how he done then possible extend it and hes point was why give up a good paid job on sky sports for a job where he could be done with end of season
Done a great job tbf. And very humble from Keane giving all the credit to the players
Really hope another team in England gives him a chance, I literally forgot how much of an achievement this was.
Proud to be able to say that I'm from the same city as a legend of a footballer like Roy Keane, thank you for all the amazing memories Roy you were an absolute pleasure to watch play. 👏
Bare in mind we'd been relegated twice in recent years, both with record-low points tallies. The club had no manager, uncertain investment and a squad in dire need of a lift. In walked Keane and within a few months, results had improved and the mood in the city and the club was completely lifted.
He underplays his role in it, I think. The players were the ones on the pitch but it was Keane that was the puppet master pulling the strings, inspiring them every match, From bottom to top in 37 matches.
Then he kept us from being relegated and we were signing some quality players, establishing ourselves and really looking to challenge. Of course the board and players helped, but Keane was the catalyst.
The two and a half years he was here were a great time to be a Sunderland fan. Lets hope under Alex Neil they are just round the corner again.
keane was always about winning titles ! even if it was the championship
I'm a Man United fan but being a Trinidadian, huge Roy Keane fan, I paid close attention to Sunderland because fellow Trinidadians played there. Carlos Edwards, Dwight Yorke and Stern John I believe. Still a fan of Sunderland.
Absolutely brilliant he was for us at Sunderland wud lv to see him come BK r BK into management wat a player one of the best midfielder ever
Will never fall out of love for this man amazing what he did for us at Sunderland plus from the moment I saw him playing for Forest at 17 brilliant bloody brilliant
Although I love Keane as a pundit I would love to see him back in the dugout. Wednesday failed to get promoted again, and they're a massive club. If I were them I'd be trying to get Keane on the phone.
How are Sheffield Wednesday a massive club? couldn't even get to the premier League by overspending, just got them relegated and lost their ground to a tuna man John west
He’s probably not bothered, he does very well financially from his punditry.
Legend if man united had him for the last 10 years we would not be where we are. All of them fairies and f****** bluffers would be gone people would f****** sweat blood for that shirt like all of his area did
Definitely Ferguson should of eased him in till the day Keane could take over. He basically managed them anyway when you hear the players talk about it now how Keane was the most important inspirational and best player and they didn't want to disappoint him. But Ferguson let his ego get in the way he didn't want Keane getting to much credit
as a SAFC fan all i can say is brill, guy is a total legend. I know he kept saying its the players but who got them there he did. wish him the best great for the game
favourite sunderland manager for me, absolutely loved it and him bringing us up was special
Hes onky a year or so older then the class of 92!! Manchester United's best ever player
an absolute roller coaster on the magic carpet with Keano at the helm...great times!!
If I was United I’d take him in a heartbeat
Ok, I'm biased because I'm a Corkman, but his humour is just pure Cork..."I answer to no one, well sometimes, the wife!" 😂😂😂😂
Typical Cork man taken him for urself 😂he's irish were all the same
@@ad-oi3hf there are only two types of people in the world, Cork people....and those who want to be!!
I'd say if he wasn't such a charismatic figure, you wouldn't be claiming him for yourself, would you?
Absolutely brilliant documentary 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Forgot how many great goals Carlos Edwards scored. Some pearlers!
"so now he's boss as if he was ever anything else" that line is cold.
Can't believe I have only just found this. Love it
What a journey! Brilliant story this!
