Whilst buying some cheese in Tesco’s in Burnage yesterday to apply to it to an ankle injury (on the advice of a bloke called Felix Magath), we were amazed to come across a copy of Roy Keane’s new tome – not due for release until Thursday.
We were apprehended so quickly we might as well have been Steven Caulker, but we did manage to rip out the page containing the chapter listings.
It was co-written by Roddy Doyle, so we are not surprised that some of the chapter titles are based on Doyle’s former books. We have a sneak preview at the entire chapter breakdown of “The Second Half":
Chapter 1: Fifty Shades of Grey
Keane reveals his impressive beard-cultivating tips
Chapter 2: The Snapper
Keane revisits that tackle on Alfe Inge-Haaland
Chapter 3: Paddy Vieira, Ha Ha Ha
A humourous look at pre-match tunnel insults
Chapter 4: The Non-Commitments
A look at what happened in Saipan. Again.
Chapter 5: The Van Nistelrooy
A long list of United players that Keane didn’t get on with
Chapter 6: The Old Man & The “C” Word
Keane breaks the world record for usage of the word “c&*t” in one chapter
Chapter 7: The Man Who Walked Outdoors
