VINNIE JONES and ROY KEANE going against each other (1996)

[@wakstar1]

People forget - Keane was quick of mind and fleet of foot. He was a superb footballer. Did all the basics extremely well, at pace and he would link and create play to allow the wide men and Eric and Ole and co to score the goals. Back in the 90’s in a lot of ways Roy Keane was the difference. No one quite had a leader like him- an enforcer but also a talisman and a commander in battle.. He’s the one domestic player that every clubs fans would have signed if they could.

Welcome to the Internet, where people edit videos to suit an agenda 😂

[@SuperGoatGazer]

@ I didn’t just mean the internet for me personally. I’m a big fan of tough tacklers and I go out of my way purposely to look for certain players playing against each other….even watching full matches. I absolutely understand what you mean tho.

[@TheKevza]

@SuperGoatGazer I know what clips you mean. I seen them also and it's made out that keane and Cantona bottled it against the crazy gang. But we can see here both Roy and Vinnie can take a challenge and they don't always turn around for a fight. Real men.

[@SuperGoatGazer]

@ Yeah, I’ve seen Keane a few times at Villa Park when he played against Villa and he didn’t have to play hard against us. The first match I saw was when we beat them 3-1 on the first day of the season (I don’t actually remember if he played in that) when we had Savo up front. Second time was when Giggs and Beckham too that free kick at the same time. Good game but Man Utd chased and screamed at the ref every time they wanted a decision. It really ruined it for me. Jones was actually better than people realise but obviously he prided himself on being a hard man. But the big difference in both of these famous clips is that Keane was just a lot better than Jones. If Keane gets sent off it’s going to be a struggle. One player I’ve been watching a lot recently is Gattuso. He gets a bad rep but a lot of the times when he got in trouble was when he didn’t start it 🤣

[@elliottdefoe9615]

I haven't got the best memory in the world but I'm sure this is the last live match I was at. I was behind the goal that Beckham scored from the halfway line. It was a shame that the game was basically over when he scored it though. And I really dislike the 'see you next Tuesday' because of certain agenda's he's been part of over the past 5 years! Keano on the other hand, showed vinny who the real daddy was in this game, after the 94 game which, I was also behind the goal, when Cantona smashed in that amazing volley!

Vinnie was an awful footballer and an awful actor. He reminds me of the rubbish lumps who play Sunday pub football and try and make up for their lack of skill by trying to break player’s legs. After Vinnie retired from trying to play football, he made the mistake of offering out ex semi pro boxer, and decent actor, Tamer Hassan in LA’s Sunset Boulevard hotel Chateau Marmont and ended up getting beaten up and left with a swollen face. Unlike Vinnie, Tamer could actually act and fight.
