Id say he was glad of a cheese sambo then, what course did he do?

It was a course for footballers who did'nt make the grade with the League of Irelands Youth teams. Actually set up by none other than our favourite hero-Charles J Haughty. Who would of believe it, the man who brought this country to its knees, instigated the career of the best footballer we ever had.

I must say its a good book to read and I am sure that it will pi*s some people off big time.
Have you guys read it yet??? If you have, what do you think???</strong><hr></blockquote>
Read it over the weekend. It's very good. Can't really see where the accusations of him slagging off team mates came from. He spoke about collective attitude dropping but never really over-criticised specific people. Schmichel being a poser and Teddy (not his cup of tea) but nothing worse than that.
Great read, goes to show how the English media can blow things out of all proportion. The Haaland Incident is described crudely though.

Finished reading it over the weekend too. It is a great read and all I was really left with at the end was that Keane is a determined driven character with a short fuse. He want United to be the absolute best but can make mistakes at time in pursuit of this goal. He doesn't suffer fools glady but he's not perfect himself. It is the first genuinely honest football biography written by a player who is still playing. Makes every other football book look like the nonsense that they usually are and there is no reason in the world why any of Keane's United teammates should have any problem with what he says. His commitment to the cause is there for all to see. Everyone who was ever half interested in football or Manchester United or Sport or exceptional people should read this book. It is great.

I thought so too. He certainly complemented them on enough occasions and all fairly equally, from Nicky to Becks and Schole to Phil.
