Breen recalls his Saipan dilemma

Gary Breen may have visited Roy Keane’s room after the Saipan bust-up — but insisted the Cork man had to go for the sake of the team.

The former Irish centre-half spoke for the first time about the controversial events 10 years ago on Setanta’s iTalkSport.

Keane had given him expert advise to clear up an injury in the build-up to the tournament and Breen admitted visiting the Cork man’s room to wish him the best of luck. However, he also stated that the former Manchester United player was not bigger than the team.
