Roy Keane may be remembered as a tough guy during his professional career, but his gesture to Tim Howard at Manchester United proves that even the Irishman has a heart of gold.
We all know Keane as the tough tackling, no nonsense midfielder that has kept up his ruthless view on the game as a regular television pundit. But behind the hardened Irishman is a man who cares more than anyone, according to Howard.
When Howard was signed by United he left behind everything he knew in the United States, with only his wife joining him in England. But despite being a new face around the training camp, Keane once offered Howard to join him for dinner when his wife headed back to the States temporarily.
