Keane will go down as one of the Premier League's greatest midfielders.
Roy Keane would be one of the world's most expensive players if he was playing now, according to former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville.in 1993 for a then-British record transfer fee of £3.75 million and would make 37 appearances in his debut season underagreeing that it was the easiest position to play. Neville, however, disagreed with the statement, saying it was "subjective".
"Roy came in 1993, I was eighteen and our youth team coach made us watch the right-backs," he said."We had to go and report to our youth team coach on the Monday after , he’d ask us questions about who played at right-back and how they play. Roy played about 15 games at right back. "He played in what would be the inferior type games at fullback. Sometimes Sharpie would go left back, and Denis would go right back, it was when I was coming through, and he would dip me in and out."Keane would clear up why he played in that position, adding: “Truthfully, one of the reasons I played right back was because I was due a hernia operation at the end of the season and he said physically you’re struggling, so we’ll put you in at right back.
