I recall a great fuss at Manchester airport when he offered his gold car to pay for a packet of chewing gum.
LOL.

Gary was a very mature lad - nineteen going on ninety
That's our Gazfather :)

Planet Manchester United, where I always wanted to be, where you dream of being some day when you’re a kid kicking a ball around.
Aw <3

Roy Keane will always be a Red Devil.

You have no idea how excited Roy Keane posts make me.

YOU SHOULD WRITE ROY KEANE FIC.

In private he was funny, loved a drink, champagne rather than Heineken, and was great company. Eric was a good lad, one of the best, no real conceit, no bullshit. *explodes*

Also:Out of order, of course. But my attitude didn't change. My heart went out to him.

Aaaaannnnd: “In his book, Jaap Stam wrote that I was ‘on another planet’. Yes, Jaap. Planet Manchester United, where I always wanted to be, where you dream of being some day when you’re a kid kicking a ball around.” (pg 166)

SO MUCH FUCKING WIN.

DUDE. THE LOVE HE HAS FOR CANTONA BASICALLY JUST WROTE ITSELF. ♥ (and you know - i love the fact that he mentions that cantona was a 'loner' because in the book, he says he is a 'loner' too. :O)

Just...GAH.
Love that man!!!

Collar turned up, back straight, chest stuck out, he (Eric) glided into the arena as if he owned the fucking place..
He might as well have!

And he talks about Ole! Awww! "...a professional like Ole is priceless. For us he has been.” Still makes me sad he's retired now!

Oh Keano! You're too awesome for words.

kobean November 11 2007, 20:41:16 UTC

sigh. keano! he's just... amazing. legend.

kobean November 11 2007, 20:41:35 UTC

I KNOW. roy knows how to play with our emotions.

I'm not going to quote the whole thing however much I want to c(=

He turned out to be one of the most popular players in the dressing room, a really nice man, and an outstanding professional.
Miss him ♥

“Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt are looking for victims. Gary Neville is talking. Dwight Yorke is bubbling with good humour and mischief. Peter Schmeichel is posing (what else is new?) and boring the arse off people. Becks is listening to Gary. Teddy is being cool. He’s from London! Denis Irwin and Paul Scholes, the quiet men, are coming out of their shells.”
That sounds so warm and fun and much love.

"‘Nah,’ the big fella replied, ‘a really big club.’ We laughed. I loved the Glasgow humour. But my heart was in United. And if I couldn’t play with my heart, I couldn’t play.”
Aww Roy

He's a fucking brilliant man. And you, thank you for posting this :D
