Keane not the ‘bad cop’ at Villa, insists Lambert

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has insisted that Roy Keane doesn’t play the role of "bad cop" at Villa Park.

Lambert brought in Keane as his assistant this summer and insists the image the Republic of Ireland number two has is wrong.

Lambert said: “People have a perception of this guy that he probably just goes around shouting and being aggressive and he’s not like that at all. He’s been a big help for me, first and foremost.
