Roy Keane reluctantly spoke to Tommy Tiernan about the infamous horror challenge on Erling Haalandās father, Alfie back in 2001.
The former Manchester United midfielder featured as a guest on RTĆās Tommy Tiernan Show, where he talked about everything, from his footballing career to his first date with his wife.
Of course, when discussing his career Tiernan brought up the infamous challenge on Haaland which Keane admitted in his biography was pre-meditated.
The tackle was retaliation from Keane after he had suffered a cruciate ligament injury in a clash with the defender four years prior.
The 51-year-old reluctantly went into detail when pressed by the host.
āIt seems a bit more dramatic than what it was really. I donāt think it was as bad,ā he said.
When asked if he felt bad about the tackle, Keane insisted that the incident wasnāt that serious.
āI donāt think he was injured,
āHe played three days later for his international team. Why let the truth get in the way of a good story? He was fine.ā
What do you think of Keaneās reaction to the tackle?
