| | I have nothing but respect for Keane - Football News - Telegraph |
 | | Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane shared such a gladiatorial rivalry that they could not even wait to get on to the pitch to resume hostilities when their paths last crossed in the Premiership, slagging each other off in the Highbury tunnel as Arsenal and Manchester United waited to come out. |
 | | Two years have passed since then and Vieira insists that, despite the headline insults and the flying tackles, respect was always lurking a few paces behind and that their rivalry was akin to two lions fighting to be king of the pride, striving to establish their credentials as both performers and leaders of men. |
 | | Vieira remembers how France's World Cup victory of 1998 generated a boost in club attendances but Italy's triumph at Germany 2006 has proved merely a palliative for the ills of their domestic football, with attendances down at many clubs. |
