HENRY – KEANE IS NO THUG

Last updated : 06 September 2005 By editor

"People often talk about Roy Keane as if he was a hooligan, but the lad knows how to play football," Thierry Henry told The Sun. "Yes, he is aggressive. Yes, he is cantankerous. Yes, if the ball is between him and you in midfield, he makes you jump. But beyond that, he is a super footballer. He scores, he influences his team and the crowd.

"He'll be respected for ever. He is a football legend with Republic of Ireland and Manchester United."
