As the Easter weekend comes to an end, let us treat you.

It’s got nothing to do with the Championship, but here’s Roy Keane’s maddest moments.

Enjoy.

(THREAD)

We’ll start off when Roy was just 19.

He was with the Ireland squad but was late for the team bus.

Boss Jack Charlton told him off but Roy replied "I didn't ask you to wait, did I?"

Mick McCarthy told him he was out of order.

Roy told him “go f*** yourself”.

Charming.

Roy was a bit of a hardman, if you didn’t know.

Here he is having a slight coming together with Gareth Southgate.

In 1997, Roy Keane snapped a cruciate knee ligament after a collision with Alf-Inge Haaland (the Dad of Erling Braut for our younger followers).

Haaland apparently told him to “get up and stop faking”.

Four years later, the pair met and Keane did this tackle.

It virtually ended Haaland’s career.

In his autobiography, Roy wrote:

“I'd waited long enough.

I f***ing hit him hard.

Take that you c***.

And don't ever stand over me sneering about fake injuries”

In 2000, he ripped into the atmosphere at Old Trafford.

Thus, giving birth to the “prawn sandwich brigade”.

The 2002 World Cup.

The Saipan incident.

Roy wasn’t very happy with the facilities the Ireland squad were given.

It led to a dispute with manager Mick McCarthy (again) where he unleashed these iconic, poetic words.

We couldn’t do this thread without mentioning his battles with Veira.

The highlight being that good luck message before Arsenal v Man U in 2005.

“I’ll see you out there”

That’s nice isn’t it.

Vieira wasn’t the only Premier League legend he had a barney with.

Here he is taking a swing at Shearer.

Another Premier League legend was… er… Jason McAteer.

They were fine afterwards though.

I think.

Worth dropping a mention for his MUTV interview in 2005 where he buried nearly all his teammates.

It’s a goldmine but the highlight what was he said about Alan Smith.

"What is he doing there?

He is wandering around as if he is lost.

He doesn't know what he is doing."

Roy was just as terrifying as a manager.

Here he is during a press conference at Ipswich.

Don’t ever let your phone go off around him.

Robbie Keane was late meeting up with his Ireland teammates for international duty after the birth of his second son.

Roy Keane (who was assistant manager at the time) didn’t give a s*** though.

All in all, people forget how quality a player Roy was.

“He’s competing as if he’d rather die of exhaustion than lose. He inspired all around him. I felt as if it was an honour to be associated with this player”

Iconic words from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Here’s how Roy reacted:

Never change Roy.
