Roy Keane Manchester United

 

Keane was given a red card for his ‘revenge attack’ foul on then Manchester City player Alf-Inge Haland, in 2001. Back in 1997, Haland was playing for Leeds against Manchester United, during this match Haland approached Keane who was laying on the ground injured and criticised him for an attempted foul and accused him of feigning injury to avoid punishment. During a Manchester derby which saw Keane up against Haland, Keane took his chance in the final minutes of the game to launch a premeditated knee-high foul on Haland. This initially resulted in the United Captain recieving a £5000 fine and a four month ban, that was until he released his autobiography in 2002 and admitted he intended to hurt Haland with the foul. The FA then fined Keane £150,000 and banned him for a further five months.
