You know Roy Keane. He terrorised every other Premier League midfielder in the 1990s, collected no small amount of titles, and eventually had to leave Manchester United for criticising his team-mates on the club's own TV channel. Now, he's mainly found in television studios across the land, grimly shaking his head and muttering "That's not good enough".

He has, it's fair to say, a reputation. He certainly doesn't give the impression of someone who is easily amused or impressed, and the only thing he seems to enjoy is winning. Well, 'enjoy' might be the wrong word. But he definitely hates losing.
