Roy Keane on Gary Neville's Soccerbox is gold

Neville, arguably the best pundit on TV, managed to convince Keane to sit down and reminisce over his stellar career for the fourth series of Soccerbox.

One particularly funny moment sees Keane reflecting on winning his first Premier League trophy as Man Utd captain at the end of the 1998-99 season.

Keane, who replaced Eric Cantona as club captain following the Frenchman’s shock retirement in 1997, was asked by Neville to describe how big a moment it was.

The retired midfielder simply shrugged.

Neville said: “Come on, show a bit of emotion!”

Keane fired back: “There is emotion! But it doesn’t if you’re the first or last to pick the thing up, you’ve won it.”

Neville said: “What I’m saying is you were the captain the year before, we’d not won it and you’d obviously got injured…”

Keane, with his typical dry sense of humour, responded: “That wasn’t my fault, I was brilliant. It was the rest of you the year before.”

On lifting the trophy, he added: “It’s great, what do you want me to say?”

The old footage then showed Keane and Sir Alex Ferguson embracing on the Old Trafford pitch.

Keane insisted throughout Soccerbox that he wasn’t as close to Ferguson as everyone thought.

When the footage was shown on screen, Neville said: “See, you were close. Look at you hugging him.”

Keane then made Neville burst out laughing when he replied: “Yeah, it’s like hugging a hedgehog.”

It’s a real shame that Keane and Fergie still haven’t patched up their differences, 17 years after they fell out.

At this point it’s fair to assume they probably never will.
