Roy could never just let it go

DAVID WALSH’S piece with Roy Keane in yesterday’s Sunday Times proved Keane still gives the best interviews in football.

One reason is that Keane means confrontation and confrontation is the soul of all drama. Another might be that he thinks about himself not wisely but too well.

The piece led with the revelation that Manchester United — that is, Alex Ferguson — had threatened Keane with legal action over comments made in an interview with the Irish Times. Keane ignored the legal letters but broods over the insult.
