Since it's Christmas, the season of giving, I'd like to quote from the Roy Keane Autobiography. Pg 137 - 138, 1994/95 season >>
One morning Brucey arrived in the dressing room with a cheque for fifteen grand. The first team squad had contributed to some video and this payment was due to be split eighteen ways. Struggling to work out who was owed what, we decided on a majority vote to hold a draw, winner takes all. The option of taking your cut - about 800 quids - was available. For the younger lads this was a couple of weeks' wages. They wanted the money. Only Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt opted to play for the jackpot - about twelve grand after the needy were paid out. When the draw was made, Eric Cantona's name came out of the hat. He got his cheque. And plenty of stick. Next morning Eric arrived in with two cheques made out to Paul and Nicky. This was their reward for taking the gamble, Eric explained. This was Eric to a tee. The unexpected, a touch of class, also an appreciation of the plaight of two young lads more in need of money than himself. Twelve grand was a lot of money to spend on a gesture, even in those relatively prosperous times. ------------------------------------------------------------ If there is anyone still thinking if the Keane's book is worth buying, think no further. It's a brilliant read. I would have bought the book out of support no matter what but the book has been absolutely brilliant. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
