It’s no secret that Roy Keane isn’t the easiest person to please but when he is impressed he doesn’t shy away from compliment.

While speaking on Sky Sports the former Manchester United captain recalled a time when he and the Ireland national team were abroad for a World Cup qualifier and how they upset Jack Charlton for refusing to get on the team bus.

The reason for the team refusing a direct order from their manager was because they were watching Maradona train with the Sevilla senior team.

Keane went on to say Maradona was a “brilliant, brilliant player. World class.”
