There is a cup on my table, one with the photo of Roy Keane on it. Among my many United prized possesions, this tops the list. Therefore, it gave me pleasure to read in The Herald about Roy Keane's impending testimonial farewell, and the chance for closure in what has been one of Manchester United's greatest footballing legends of all time.
It would have been more fitting however, had Wayne Rooney not broken his metatarsal bone in the match at Stamford Bridge. The passing of batton from Keane to Rooney would have been significant to say the least and (hopefully) symbolic of the club's future intentions.
Just as Roy Keane's absence was felt during the World Cup in Korea, Rooney's probably no show may ensure that 66 will remain in July as England's only triumph at these haloed levels.
