I enjoyed Roy Keane’s outburst in the press today about television pundits. He’s got a point, of course. Ever since I read his excellent book, I’ve always seen him as the Travis Bickle of football.

I did an in-depth interview with Keane many years ago (many years ago, that’s me in the picture believe it or not!) I arrived a bit scared of him, yet it turned into one of the best interviews I’ve ever done.

He was actually rather sweet and very honest. So honest that the kids’ football magazine I was interviewing him for couldn’t publish half the quotes and I had to sell them elsewhere.
