Customer Reviews

Direct, like Keano plays!

This book is a candid look inside Roy Keane's thoughts. He freely shares what he thinks about the game, opposing players, teamates, and many other subjects. Keane has been criticized for writing this book because he is blunt in his assesments of people and situations. However, this is the strength of the book, because if Keane had watered it down to be "PC," then the reader wouldn't hear what Keane really thinks. Nobody will agree with all of Keane's thoughts, that is a given, but it is interesting to see his development as a player and person. This book provides the football fan with a glimpse into the mind of a superstar, and whether you like Roy Keane or not, it is a very good read that is enjoyable and insightful.

an awesome book to read

It is about an Irish soccer player finding his way to glory. I like how he got to where he is now. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is a soccer fanatic!

good book

Roy keane is one of the greatest soccer players in the world. This books adds to his legacy.

PASSION as only Keano can deliver!!

For anyone who actually understands the game of football, and has a desire to glimpse the innerworkings of one of the most passionate, hard grafting and complete players of all time, this book is a must. Roy Keane exhibits the epitomy of a true winner and his story is awe inspiring as he moves from an overlooked youngster to the center of the world stage! Don't expect a cozy story, but a gritty, honest and sometimes hilarious account of Roy's professional football career. A must buy!!

On the 7th day God made KEANO!!!!

I love this book. I think Roy is one of the best and most interesting characters in football. From watching him play with man utd I have seen how just having him in the game can totally change the way his teammates play and the outcome of a game. I loved reading this book and I love Keano!!!
