10 Things Roy Keane Wants You To Forget

10. The Time He Got Knocked Out By Brian Clough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi2wq-J0zag During a 1991 FA Cup tie against Crystal Palace, the young Roy Keane dropped a bit of a clanger when playing for Nottingham Forest. When a slack back-pass ended up resulting in an equaliser, Keane got the full force of the legendary Brian Clough€™s wrath. After the game, which finished as a draw, the Forest boss took Roy to one side and asked him if he€™d ever been punched really hard. Keane would reply €œno€, so Cloughie proceeded to floor the Irish hard man with a swift dig. Given Roy Keane€™s tough-as-nails reputation, it€™s likely that the memory of getting decked by a then-55-year-old man is one that Keano would like to forget.
