During that whole period Anderton made 90 further appearances. He left OT in mid-November and played his first game for Celtic in early January - hardly a huge disruption. Fact is, he was physically done by that stage, not least due to a playing style which whilst hugely committed, was also frequently reckless. Whereas Sicknote managed his injuries so as to extend his career another couple of seasons. Which of the two was the cleverer?

Probably the guy who won a Champions League and numerous Premier Leagues.

yeah, I've said it before and I'll say it again about Keane, but he was no Darren Anderton.

Why is it that every time Roy Keane is brought up that someone tried to wind others up!?

Post Man United, Saipan defines him. He let us down. He is everything he once railed against. Most of all, Roy Keane is a disappointment to Roy Keane.

I see Ian Dury is having a good haul himself here

All you've ever done on this site is slander all our players and management.

Anyone thinking Keane would have given Shearer a hiding is off their game. Shearer has about a stone on Keane and was a big, big man. I met him and couldn’t get over how built he was. Keane’s raw aggression wouldn’t stand up against fellas who are physically bigger and stronger, it’s the same in any playground or schoolyard in Ireland. Local headbanger tries to intimidate the wrong person and then bang.

He spent the whole night running away from him because Gattusso had his card marked. Keane was/is a total bully.

good thing he was a footballer so - league titles Alan league titles.
