I bleedin hope not. The only thing he brings is hospital bills. Rangers are the ones who buy crocks.

Thank you Roy for many many years as a fine player and ambassador for the club.

So, a foul-mouthed, foul-playing, violent oik is an ambassador eh?

The very embodyment of a United legend.
Disagree with the violent/foul bit tho - his red card quotient was not that high. Gotta play to the very edge of the rools.

The refs didn't dare card the bugger, that's all.

He was a great player for United, but, at his age, it was time to call it a day at the very top level of football.

Yeah, maybe he'll consider a move to Liverpool or Man City now he's past his best.

Far outweighed by his abilities as a footballer. Who else over a 12 year period would be comparable as a player ? I don't think it would be a long list.

Sorry but I cannot agree. The tackle/ assault on Alf Haaland while he was at Leeds was bad enough. The look on Kean's face as he dived into Alf after he had moved to Man City was nothing to do with any footballing qualities, it was pure revenge for a red card that was his own fault. I do not deny that he was a skillful player but that aspect of his game is not acceptable and, in my view, cannot be excused.

Great player but a total nutcase.

Scumchester won't be the same without him though (and they're already going backwards)

His assault on Alf Inge Haaland was one of the worst things I have seen in football.

Now I wonder if we could sign him. The last time we signed an old boy from the Filth he helped take us up and win the league 2 years later.

The assault was out of order, yes.

It was not, however, just revenge for the red card. It was revenge for Al Finger whispering into Keanes ear as he lay in agony at Elland Road. Didn't he call him an Irish mother tt or worse?
