book speaks about Roy and the book.
IT'S MY FAULT
book speaks about Roy and the book.
He said:
'I am as much responsible, as the writer, for that. There is artistic licence.'
Why did they do it in this way?
'Roy is a challenging person. He is coming from somewhere. He doesn't have
a PR team, or a stylist around him all the time. He thinks football should be
played in a certain way and that professionals should conduct themselves in a
certain way. He doesn't want an image. In his book he is making a statement.
He feels an empathy with the fans who pay substantial sums today to watch
football. He feels it is his responsibility to level with them. Don't bullshit. Tell
them how you really feel.'
'Roy's not smug, not complacent. He is a thinker. Intelligent guy. He loves the
game. But right now he can see it going down the pan. That's what he is
raging against. Football has sold its soul to television, and the prawn-
sandwich merchants.
And on Keano's team mates:
'Roy likes David Beckham. Respects what he has achieved as a footballer. He
likes Paul Scholes. Likes Ryan Giggs. Loves Nicky Butt. Loves all the banter,
too.'
