Which players and managers took a tongue-lashing from Keane?
“I am sick to death of this goalkeeper!”
Darren Randolph
David de Gea
Jordan Pickford
Roy Carroll
“He’s had loads of plaudits over the last few months – I know he’s still a young man – but his body language today was shocking, really shocking. Shrugging his shoulders when things weren’t going his way, you roll your sleeves up.”
Paul Pogba
Mason Greenwood
Anthony Martial
Marcus Rashford
“Who is he, Mother Theresa?”
Niall Quinn
Alan Shearer
Gary Neville
Alex Ferguson
“Stuff like that kinda almost insults me. What am I supposed to do? Give up? Not cover every blade of grass? Not do my best for my teammates? Not do my best for my club? To be honest, I get actually offended when people throw quotes like that at me as if I’m supposed to be honoured by it.”
Mick McCarthy
Alex Ferguson
Clive Tyldesley
Ron Atkinson
“I felt I was entitled to say that. He was just a mascot for them. Walking around …. – ‘Look at me, how big I am’ – and he didn’t even own the bloody thing.”
Mick McCarthy
David Gill
Alex Ferguson
David Beckham
“He said, ‘I’ve had enough of you. It’s time we sorted this out.’ So I said, ‘Okay.’ And we had a fight. It felt like 10 minutes. There was a lot of noise – ****’s a big lad. I woke up the next morning. I kind of vaguely remembered the fight … My hand was really sore and one of my fingers was bent backward … Throughout the flight, **** wore his sunglasses. He never took them off, and it wasn’t very sunny … Butty had refereed the fight. He even got a new nickname for it – Mills Lane, after the famous boxing referee. Anyway, **** had grabbed me, I’d head-butted him – we’d been fighting for ages.”
Steve Bruce
Ruud van Nistelrooy
Niall Quinn
Peter Schmeichel
“One of the best pros you could ever come across, so being late for the bus tarnished him; you’d have thought he’d been caught with drugs or something. He was having a go at me.”
Gary Neville
David Beckham
Denis Irwin
Andy Cole
“Reinventing the game, apparently. Sugar lumps at half-time.”
Jürgen Klopp
Arsène Wenger
Pep Guardiola
Julian Nagelsmann
“He was an absolute prick to play against. Niggling, sneaky.”
Paul Ince
Alf-Inge Haaland
Vinnie Jones
Dennis Wise
“People are telling me he’s playing well, I don’t think so. This guy is 30 years of age, an international player, he’s a car crash. He keeps on making these type of mistakes. He was rightfully punished for it.”
Jordan Henderson
Kyle Walker
Joe Hart
Phil Neville
