Roy Keane: The Man, the Myth, the Legend
Former teammates, players, opponents, colleagues, and those whose lives he has touched tell their personal stories about Roy Keane.
Roy Maurice Keane, born on August 10, 1971, is an Irish football pundit, former coach, and former professional player. He is the joint most successful Irish footballer and has been widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time.
An Arsenal fan has been handed a three-year football banning order after headbutting Roy Keane at a Premier League football match.
Keane, who is now a pundit for Sky Sports, was involved in a confrontation with the fan after Manchester United's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The fan, who has not been named, was reportedly drunk and abusive towards Keane and other United players as they left the pitch. He then headbutted Keane in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.
The fan was arrested and charged with common assault. He pleaded guilty at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Monday and was given a three-year football banning order. He was also fined £200 and ordered to pay £100 in compensation to Keane.
Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has told a court he was left in shock after being allegedly headbutted through doors during a row with a fellow pundit.
Keane was giving evidence at the trial of Jamie Carragher, who is accused of assaulting him at a restaurant in May 2018. Carragher denies the charge.
Keane told the court that he had been talking to Carragher about their respective careers when the defendant suddenly became aggressive and headbutted him through a door.
"I was in shock," Keane said. "I didn't know what had happened. I just felt a sharp pain in my head and then I was on the floor."
Keane said that he suffered a cut to his head and was left with a headache for several days.
The trial is continuing.
