When he was chairman at Sunderland he was the only one to lend city a keeper in 2010 on and emergency loan when our first two keepers were injured which speaks volumes. I doubt he was a supporter of any English football club, seems a genuine guy not a plastic. In his autobiography he does carry on about the Keane 2002 stuff too much, but that was a good selling point at the time. He seemed to have a healthy dislike of united, especially after the game he got several goals disallowed which he ref later apologised for.
He was a nice guy when we were all invited to the training camp in Italy 1992. Had a photo with him, genuine fella.
My cousins are reds... I find it hard to believe a kid in Dublin didn't follow an English club when so many do.
Maybe he supports Rovers, St Pats, Bohs, Shelbourne? Who knows?
