From potato picker to goal kicker in Roy’s own words

ROY KEANE was once content to clean his manager’s boots, accepting the chore from then boss Brian Clough in his early days as a professional at Nottingham Forest without complaint.

The outspoken Manchester United and former Ireland captain has also revealed that on his first day at Old Trafford, he ordered a taxi to drive to the grounds and followed it in his car, so he would know the way and not be late, arriving an hour early as a

result. As captain of the club, he would later lambast new signing Mark Bosnich for turning up an hour late on his first day.
