Product Description
A publishing phenomenon in hardcover, Roy Keane's autobiography was the biggest selling sports book of the year. Now in paperback it includes a new chapter covering Keane's vindication by the FAI report, and the punishment meted out by the FA and Mick McCarthy's resignation. Brilliantly reviewed, Roy Keane's riveting, brutally honest autobiography has the potential to be one of the year's biggest paperback bestsellers.

Honest , Direct but a bit one-dimensional February 9, 2008
I'll come clean. I'm a Leeds United fan, so my natural instinct was to burn this book. I didn't. I read it, and enjoyed it. You feel you are listening to a straight shooter. It's a much better read than some of the tosh put out by ex-Leeds players. Sure, he has a persecution complex, but he's Irish. It comes with the territory. Since Keane fell out with Sir Alex and left Man United he's risen in stature. And if Leeds can hire Denis Wise, then they can certainly hire Roy Keane.....after he walks out on Sunderland in a couple of years..
 KEANO! KEANO! June 28, 2007
I could not put this book down, well written and a great insight into the heart of a true Manchester United warrior.
 More Keane March 6, 2007
Having followed football for a few years and being familar with Mr. Keane's antics on and off the pitch, I thought this was going to be a little more entertaining. It was a very good read, but I can't imagine the author is this drab. He is an Irishman!
Honest Account. July 19, 2006
I like Manchester United and Keane so am biased, but this is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in what goes on behind the scenes and United and in the thoughts of someone whose behavior has been so "interesting" over the years. Keane gives a "warts and all" description of his career and behavior.
Tell it Like it Is, But Tell More !! May 9, 2006
I like Roy Keane..He is direct,explosive and successful without possessing the sublime skills of Best or Cantona. The book is written in the same direct style as his playing. He tells it straight but is lacking in detail. You get a glimpse of the man without really ever getting inside his head. He shares the highs and lows (and even his first salary with Man. Utd.)...but lacks the capacity to captivate the reader like a good biography should. Most of what is in here, you already know...Interesting glimpses of life as a successful sportsperson but lacking the cutting edge that he delivers on the football pitch...
