Like the rest of us, Roy Keane probably never thought that he’d hit it off with Micah Richards when the former Manchester City defender joined Sky Sports a couple of years ago.Everyone knows that Keane is a no-nonsense guy who gets angry at pretty much everything, so on-screen clashes between the ex-Manchester United captain and the jovial Richards appeared inevitable.However, Richards is such a light-hearted, lovable personality that he managed to do the unthinkable: soften Keane and become friends.Richards is the only pundit who knows he can get away with teasing Keano on camera.The former England international recently trolled Keane by joking that he wasn’t a ‘proper midfielder’, unlike the Irishman’s old rival Patrick Vieira.Keane saw the funny side because it was Richards. But his reaction would have been *very* different had it come from another pundit.That’s just the effect Micah seems to have on people.p1fhs6sli6p8o129lbsq6s71hv0f.jpg
