There were few midfielders better - or scarier - than Roy Keane in his prime.

And a video compilation of the hard man stopping some of the greatest players of a generation in their tracks has come to light.

With tackles rarely seen in today's game, the footage shows Keane coming out on top for Manchester United against the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Rivaldo and a host of Europe's top stars of the time.



Keane made 326 league appearances for United during 12 years at Old Trafford, winning honours galore.

The Irishman has recently emerged as a potential candidate for the vacant Sheffield Wednesday job.

Neil Thompson is currently in caretaker charge of the Owls following the dismissal of Tony Pulis last month.

Ex-Wigan boss Paul Cook is the bookies' favourite to land the role, but Keane, now an outspoken pundit on Sky Sports, is also in the running.

Less than 12 months ago, Keane made it clear that he hoped to give management another go, having most recently occupied assistant's roles with Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and the Republic of Ireland.

Keane, who previously managed Sunderland and Ipswich, said: "I hope to have another crack and I think I deserve another crack.

"I'm very lucky, I have a really good life now I can pick and choose what I want to do. It would have to be a good offer and the worry is it probably won't be a good offer.



"My CV doesn't warrant Real Madrid calling me. But I also don't want to go down too low because the jobs I took weren't exactly the easiest.

"Going to Sunderland wasn't exactly an easy job or Ipswich, these were tough jobs. Ireland don't qualify for tournaments that easily. You know, these are tough, tough jobs.

"So, I think the next offer I might get, I know it'll be a tough job. So, I'll just have to weigh it up.

"I honestly don't think you know until you're asked. I'll feel it and go with that gut feeling.

"But I've a feeling in my bones that something will come up in the next few months and then I'll have a look at it."
