Yup so it comes down to a dislike of Man U rather than Keane himself as usually does when it comes to United

Not for me it doesn't

You seriously dislike him? It's akin to disliking fergie and being a united fan. Wow

Nothing against Man U at all here, but Roy Keane?

I'd say he was top ten disliked Premiership footballers of the last 20 years, among stiff competition!

Definitely biased George :-)

He was proper class though.  Led that team by example.  I didn't "like" him as such, but I certainly respected him and he was worth every penny he earned.  Not like some of the overpaid garbage today like half of QPR's squad.

Lol - I am talking about Keane not Terry!  Can't put Terry and "class" in the same sentence, good though he is.

One of the things that annoys me about Taylor, is that someone like Roy Keane wouldn't give a monkeys that people don't like him whereas Taylor seems much more needy.  I HATE his interviews.

Hated Roy Keane as a player, however when he retired some of his interviews have been amazing.

Shocked he hasn't been mentioned or have I missed it?

Gary Neville & Keane easy to include in the dislike list when playing - now though, I find them pretty compelling, good characters. Shearer is still a prick though.

In their pomp I found it easy to dislike a number of Aussie fast bowlers - Glenn McGrath & Craig McDermott in particular, seemed dour, joyless and ever so earnest as players - particularly early to mid career.

Think Gary Neville has changed a lot of people's views since being on sky sports. Before that I understand he was hated.

Does becks break the mould for talented but likeable? Huge success. Married a spice girl, cheated on her. Gave his kids ridic names and still everyone loves him

TV punditry has completely changed people's views on G Nev. Simply because he is brilliant at it

Becks is talented and well liked, by both sexes, any indiscretions/mistakes always quickly forgotten


In general lots of opinions change as players retire. Steve Davis was mentioned earlier. I used to find Hendry dull as...once he's not winning anything, probably not taking himself so seriously, people warm to the character that is not shown publically when they are so driven

Not really sure why Beckham's complete and total dullness is so readily overlooked.
