12 Things Man Utd Want You To Forget About Sir Alex Ferguson

10. The Brutality Of His Handling Of Roy Keane

For United fans, Roy Keane was and still is a club legend. His unwavering and at times fierce commitment to the cause made him a popular figure at Old Trafford, and the role he played in our domination of English football throughout the 1990's ensures he will be remembered with great affection and nostalgia. And that's why it was so devastating when his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson reached total meltdown, culminating in his ungraceful departure from the club in 2005. Booted out so unceremoniously after 12 highly-successful years at the club, many thought he deserved better, and Ferguson's treatment of the Irishman was simply savage. €˜He thought he was Peter Pan,€™ Ferguson once sneered, insinuating Keane had long-since reached his best-before date. But fans were gutted to see him go, shown by the fact his testimonial for the club remains the largest crowd ever for a testimonial match in England.
