A snapshot of Roy Keane as manager

“You! you’re the reason why I’m driving 100 miles every weekend to try and find a better player!”

Danny Higginbotham told a vintage Roy Keane anecdote yesterday while on BT Sport as part of the commentary team for QPR v Stoke.

Higginbotham played under the Corkman at Sunderland and described Keane’s lack of patience with a side who were just scraping clear of relegation where Keane expected them to be in the top half of the table.
