“Is that all they’ve got on me?’

Roy Keane floors The Overlap audience with incredible story about how he and his Man United teammates were once caught at a strip club.

The story had reached the papers at the time, but Keane’s version of events is actually much funnier than what had happened.

When asked about the best story from a night out, there was no question that this was the tale to tell.

“We had a night out, we took a couple young players, pre-season, we were definitely in Chicago, I remember that,” the Irishman revealed.

“I woke up the next morning, Denis [Irwin] is waking me up. We’re kind of trying to get down for the bus where we were travelling.

“I looked and all my face was black, just black. I couldn’t work out what happened. I went: ‘Jesus.’ Trying to get my gear on. I get on the bus, it’s all coming back to me.

“I’m sitting at the back of the bus, our press officer sends us a story about some of the Man United players being in a strip club, Chicago.

“So I’m down the back, I said: ‘Don’t worry about it. They’ve got no proof. No proof. Everyone relax. I’ve got it under control. I’m obviously the captain, you’re fine with me.’

“Five minutes later, the phone goes again. Apparently, they’ve got proof. I said: ‘What have they got? What have they got?’ They said: ‘They’ve got your fingerprints’.

“‘They have your credit card details. Your passport details.’ And I said: ‘Is that all they’ve got on me?’

“So the bus erupted. They’ve done a story obviously in-depth and obviously when I went in I gave my fingerprints during the night and then I was just rubbing my face as the night was going on.

“I think they ran the story and the headline in some of the Irish papers was something like ‘Horny Devils’ or something.”
