‘Spurs are my team’ – Roy Keane admits he has always been a Lilywhite fan
Roy Keane has admitted that while he might have had a long and distinguished career at Manchester United, he grew up supporting Tottenham Hotspur.
Keane is not just one of Man Utd’s most decorated players but also one of the icons of the Premier League, having captained the Red Devils to multiple league titles and cup wins.
While he had a brief stint as manager since hanging up his boots, he has built a reputation as a no-nonsense pundit over the last decade, being a regular on Sky Sports.
The 52-year-old is often very critical of Tottenham, using the label ‘Spursy’ to describe the Lilywhites’ lack of winning mentality, most recently using that term after the club’s 2-1 loss to Aston Villa last month (Sky Sports).
Roy Keane still has a soft spot for Tottenham Hotspur
In his autobiography, Keane revealed that he grew up supporting Spurs, admitting that Glenn Hoddle was his favourite player to watch.
He has now reiterated the same on The Overlap in a discussion with Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. When talking about Arsenal, Wright quipped that neither Neville nor Keane should talk about the style of football since they are Man Utd fans.
Keane then said: “I am a Spurs fan. Spurs is my team. I played for Man United but Spurs are my team”, before Wright then shot back: “Even more of a reason why you shouldn’t.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It is clear that the main reason Keane is particularly harsh on Tottenham is because of all the heartbreak that the club put him through when he was growing up.
