About this listen

Have a footballer and his manager ever been as alike as Roy Keane and Alex Ferguson? From his signing for Manchester United in 1993, Keane evolved into an on pitch general in the image of his manager. Theirs was a relationship which was one of the most compelling in football history. Ferguson, the omnipresent overlord patrolling the sidelines and Keane his chosen representative snarling in the middle of the pitches that he ran for over a decade. Today, the two football personalities famously don't get on. It's easy to forget though, that together their relationship formed such a successful dynamic. Well, this is that story.
