Rebel without a pause who finally said enough is enough

THERE has always been a rebellious side to Roy Keane the footballer but no one can quite put their finger on why.

In the recent autobiography of Tony Cascarino, Full Time, the former Republic of Ireland striker tells the tale of Keane the 19-year-old just after he had won his first international cap in 1991. It was in the days of Jack Charlton’s pomp and the morning after the team had been for a night out following a 1- 1 draw against the USA. As the bleary-eyed players boarded the coach at 7.30am the next day, there was one notable absentee - Roy Keane.
