ROY KEANE AND HIS BEARD .

Roy Keane the former Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and Celtic midfielder, he was also the Sunderland manager, till the 4/12/2008.
It was a well known fact that Roy Keane always wanted to win matches , even though he was a bit agressive on the pitch at times. But one thing was very clear with his game , he used to put heart and soul in those ninety minutes of a match.He did recieve a lot of yellow and red cards in his career. One red card stands out was in a match with NewCastle United and as the match was 0-0 in frustration he threw the ball in a throw in at Alan Shearer, and he got a straight red card for it.
During his time at Sunderland, when the games were tough ones and he started loosing points and slipped into the relegation three, Keanes beard started to grow thicker. Wether it was for goodluck we can not tell. As it is known that footballers are superstitous.
