Keane back in the spotlight with TV documentary

IT WAS a union no one could have imagined. Four years after the infamous Saipan bust-up prior to the 2002 World Cup Roy Keane and Niall Quinn joined forces at Sunderland.

It was the start of a rollercoaster ride. Ultimately, though, it was a union that wasn’t destined to last, and three years and 100 games later, having spent £70m (e75m) and led Sunderland to the Premier League and just about kept them there, a frustrated Keane left the arena just as dramatically as he had entered it.

Tonight a compelling TV3 documentary — Roy Keane — The Sunderland Story — takes an in-depth look at Keane’s reign at Wearside.
