Keane is the undoubted star of another successful venture by Gary Neville.
Gavin Cooney ROY KEANE LOOKS highly unlikely to be the next Ireland manager, a decision which would mark another great contribution to the game from the FAI.The podcast is Gary Neville’s latest mega-success, consistently hanging around the top of the charts while never dipping below a million YouTube views per episode. Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, and Ian Wright all deliver the comedy and insight you’d want, but the star is Keane.
He still indulges in some self-parody, and it was difficult to know the point at which Keane ended and Larry David began when he claimed the three most overrated things in life are “parties, smiling and fireworks.” But now, in the third act of his career, Keane is in a fundamentally warm environment. The soft lighting, the pastries, Ian Wright: how could anyone bridle against spending a couple of hours a week here?
The unflinching, occasionally cruel person Keane came across as a player and manager never felt like a true reflection of him, as it was entirely at odds with the many stories of private benevolence that leaked into the public domain despite his best efforts.
