Keano nails the crossbar challenge…as the ball lands back at his feet (Video)

Roy Keane is often characterised as some sort of angry, malevolent thug, which is partly true.

But let's not forget that he was a superb footballer with wonderful technique. You don't become a mainstay in Man United's midfield for over a decade (winning 17 major trophies in the process) without the necessary skills. To prove that he's still got a bit of the old magic, nine years after retiring from the game, Keano had a go at that most modern of footballing phenomenons - the crossbar challenge. Not only did he casually place his effort bang on the money, but the ball obediently rolled back to his feet. You never lose it...
