I often felt like doing a Cantona, admits Roy

ROY KEANE has admitted that the abuse he suffered as a player almost drove him to “do an Eric Cantona”.

The Sunderland manager’s revelation came after Portsmouth’s England defender Sol Campbell spoke out this week about the abuse players and managers endure from fans as he called for tougher action to stamp it out.

Keane was a Manchester United teammate of Cantona when the Frenchman infamously lunged kung-fu fashion into the crowd at Crystal Palace in response to flak from a supporter.
