Micah Richards has spoken about his unlikely friendship with Sunderland managerial candidate Roy Keane. He claims that Keane has another side to him that people don't often see.
REPUTATIONS
"That only lasts so long. It’s like when I first met Patrick Vieira and played alongside him, I was in awe. I was starstruck - ‘it’s Patrick Vieira what a player and legend’.
RESPECT
“After about a week or two, it wears off a little bit. You go to work, you still respect him, you still want to give 100%."
WRONG PERCEPETION
"But this whole thing of Roy is always angry, honestly they’ve got the wrong perception."
PUNDITRY
“Yes on TV, but if Man United were winning, or if he was doing punditry 10 years ago and Man United were winning every week, you probably wouldn’t see that side to him."
5%
“But because United at the moment are going through a difficult spell, you see the worse side of Roy on TV. That’s all it is. That’s only five per cent of what he is, he’s an absolute diamond of a bloke.”
