“the Irishman chose to return home to Leeds”

He’s not from Leeds. Or England, even.

Absolute legend for Ireland. My favorite player by far, model professional, never got a proper shot at anfield.

You wouldn’t find it a coincidence that “somehow he slipped down the pecking order” or “somehow he was taken for granted” occurred at every club apart from the minnows he’s been at? And you’ve Part II to come yet Willie! He’s been a top man for Ireland in fairness. I think much of the difficulty with how he’s perceived publicly is his demeanour, his problems tending to be somebody else’s fault, going to a nightclub a few nights before a massive international, slamming players for not showing up for internationals as he gets time off… bet his apology to McCarthy won’t be in public though. A good, solid player in fairness – if you want to compare his international scoring record with Lineker’s or Charlton’s, work away but some forensic analysis would reveal a lot

actually, he has not “literally travelled the 7 seas”
he has played on either siide of the pennines and he did play one season, not well, in italy. as someone who has watched him miss five one on ones in a single game i believe he scores great goals but is far from being a great goal scorer

Keane was never initially maligned at Spurs. He was looked at with much affection, until he ran off soon after stating how great Spurs was. After the Liverpool experience, he was never the same – and he did not deserve his place in the Spurs lineup. His small period at West Ham shows that he is no longer a guaranteed starter in a Premier league team (forget one aiming for champions league)
