One of my personal favourites
"Keane, whose United career ended following a controversial interview with the in-house TV station MUTV, recounted one particular pre-match team-talk which reflected Ferguson’s ability to read the mindset of his players. “I thought I knew what the group might need, that we didn’t need a big team talk,” said Keane. “It was Tottenham at home. I thought please don’t go on about Tottenham, we all know what Tottenham is about, they are nice and tidy but we’ll fucking do them. He came in and said: ‘Lads, it’s Tottenham’, and that was it. Brilliant.”

Best Roy Keane story ever:
"When Roy Keane was in digs at Forest, his landlady said he could paint his room. So he did, walls and ceiling, all black. The only furniture was a mattress with no bed, and piles of Goal and Shoot! magazines. Clough called him in and said 'you can't live like that', and he said 'it's the only way I can relax.'"
Don't even care if it's true or not.
