Keane looked back on his more extravagant youthful days drinking in a Nottingham bar Roy Keane was back on the Stick To Football podcast Roy Keane has given a comical insight into how his ‘sneaky night out’ in Nottingham ended with him being thrown through the window of a bar. Speaking on the latest edition of The Overlap with Sky Bet, Keane reflected on his younger days as he remembered a night out shortly after his move from Nottingham Forest to Manchester United in 1993. While he suggested some of the tales of his antics in bars in the 1990s were wide of the mark, his night out in a Nottingham wine bar ended in unexpected fashion.
“I got thrown through a bar window at Nottingham! I was in a wine bar, and I just came to United, and I remember I went back to Forest to check on my house,” he recalled. "The reserves were playing, but I had a sneaky night out, and I used to go drink when I was a Forest player. "I used to drink the wine from the bottle, I wouldn’t have the glass – it was cheap wine – like £6.
"I was with a few lads and a few words were said, and this guy threw me out the window. I went through the window and a door, I landed out in the street, it was like the wild west! "I was on the floor, but I still had the bottle of wine in my hand!” Keane also reflected on his brief flirtation with boxing in his youth, as he confirmed it was a passion that ran through his family. “I have pictures at home, just me with my gloves on.
I would have been 10/11.
