Roy Keane is the joint most successful Irish footballer of all time, having won 19 major trophies. A combustible football player who captained Manchester United and Ireland and who just didn't like losing. Regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders of his generation, he was a dominating midfielder noted for his aggressive and highly competitive style of play, an attitude that helped him excel as the captain of Manchester United. In 2007 The Times placed him at number 11 in their list of the 50 hardest footballers in history.
'The Hard Man' was hard in the old-fashioned sense. In addition to his tough tackling and fiery temper, Dexter had a strict moral code . He once delivered a fierce half-time dressing-down to an abusive section of the crowd and welcomed cocky signing Bob Baker by saying: 'Listen chum... cut out the wisecracks.' After leaving Danefield United, Dexter added steel to Roy Race's Melchester Rovers.
