A few years after that Sammer snub, Keane did get the one jersey swap he coveted. In the end, he says it was more of a post-match nod between himself and the French legend that saw them exchange tops.
"Zidane," he told Neville. "I remember we played him at United and he was obviously a brilliant player.
"After a game against Madrid, we were walking up [the tunnel]. And sometimes you just look at a player... I was looking at him, and him at me. I was thinking, 'He'll probably ask me!'
"No, we just looked at each other and swapped. We did it and I'm glad. Every other time, I'd think, 'Just leave it'."
If you were to have a jersey from any player from that 1990-2010 stretch, Zinedine Zidane would be the one to get. The other one we would have figured he might have been keen on would be another former Juventus midfielder, Pavel Nedved. Juve fans lovingly referred to him as 'Warrior of the World'.
The full Keane chat with Neville is certainly worth a look and listen:
