I agree with Willie...isn't this the perfect time to get Keano back at Utd? In whatever capacity...

I would love to see Keano back at United. If he does come back as reserve team coach, then he'd be in a fantastic position to eventually replace Fergie.
According to BBC Sport "The Republic of Ireland star enjoyed a stellar career at United, winning seven league titles and four FA Cups...."
Does this mean he didn't get a Champions League winners medeal? So sad if he didn't. After is performance against Juve, he deserved eleven medals!

Both he and Paul Scholes were suspended for the final, which makes it even more remarkable that we won it, that midfield was put together using sellotape and staples.
Anyway, thats by the by.
The word Legend is overused, see those calling Alan Shearer the same thing for further evidence. In the case of Roy Keane, Legend is an understatement.
Thanks Roy for your years at United, come back to us soon. until then...
HAPPY RETIREMENT

ROY Keane's decision to retire ends a colourful career for the midfielder. Here is a look at what he said during his time at Manchester United.
After getting sent off for stamping on Gareth Southgate in 1995, Keane said: "He shouldn't be lying on the floor. Defenders shouldn't be on their backsides. I felt that he got in the way."
Keane on the Old Trafford crowd in 2000: "Sometimes you wonder, do they understand the game of football? We're 1-0 up, then there are one or two stray passes and they're getting on players' backs. It's just not on. At the end of the day they need to get behind the team. Away from home our fans are fantastic, I'd call them the hardcore fans. But at home they have a few drinks and probably the prawn sandwiches, and they don't realise what's going on out on the pitch. I don't think some of the people who come to Old Trafford can spell football, never mind understand it."

Keane's problems with the Football Association of Ireland started in 2001: "I am not pointing the finger at anybody, but if there was anything to make me say `I am going to spend the week with my wife and kids at home' that would be it. Where we trained in Clonshaugh it was abysmal and it has been for as long as I've known it. I was fairly critical of the seating arrangements for the flight over here when the officials were at the front and the players behind."
In 2001 Keane revealed he did not think his United team-mates at the time contributed to a great side: "The great teams get back to finals and win it, and this just shows we are not a great team. We're just an average team in a lot of areas, but it's up to the manager and the rest of the staff to look at that. We seem to be falling further behind these teams like Real Madrid."
On his horrific lunge at Alf-Inge Haaland, Keane said: "Even in the dressing room afterwards I had no remorse. My attitude was, 'What goes around comes around'. He got his just rewards. My attitude is an eye for an eye."
In 2003 he discussed management: "I've been fortunate to work under two of the game's great managers, in Brian Clough and Alex Ferguson, and the thought of being manager of Manchester United would be fantastic."
He had a confrontation with Senegal-born France international Patrick Vieira before the clash with Arsenal in 2005, and he was reported to say afterwards: "It makes me laugh, players going on about how they are saving this country and saving that country but when they have the opportunity to play - well, it's probably none of my business."
United finished the 2005 season without a trophy, and Keane said: "Results don't lie and the table doesn't lie. Our performance levels have not been good enough. Everyone at this club needs to look at themselves and ask whether they are giving 100% to the football club."

saw this comment on the bbc website:
Etoo n Belletti - 606 messageboards
To call him a legend is an insult to football and the true legends and gents that went before him.
all i can say is "what a cunt"
legend is overused but certainly not in this case.
