EXPLAINED: Roy keane scared referees after making opponent bleed with flying elbow | Vintage Vibes

Legendary Manchester United hardman Roy Keane is said to have ‘scared referees’ having also made an opponent bleed by elbowing them in the face during a Premier League clash.

The Irishman was infamous for his fiery temper, which boiled to the surface on a frequent basis throughout his time at the Red Devils, Nottingham Forest and Celtic, as well as on the international stage with his country.

That temper was used by Keane to get the better of opponents by whatever means necessary and helped him to win seven Premier League titles and the Champions League.
