The No.1 bestselling memoir of Roy Keane, former captain of Manchester United and Ireland


In a stunning collaboration with Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle, Roy Keane gives a brutally honest account of his days as a player, the highs and lows of his managerial career and his life as an outspoken ITV pundit.

As part of a tiny elite of football players, Roy Keane has had a life like no other. His status as one of football's greatest stars is undisputed, but what of the challenges beyond the pitch? How did he succeed in coming to terms with life as a former Manchester United and Ireland leader and champion, reinventing himself as a manager and then a broadcaster, and cope with the psychological struggles this entailed?

THE SECOND HALF blends anecdote and reflection in Roy Keane's inimitable voice. The result is an unforgettable personal odyssey which fearlessly challenges the meaning of success.©2014 Roy Keane and Roddy Doyle (P)2014 Orion Publishing Group Football (Soccer) Sports Celebrity Inspiring Thought-Provoking

I am a fan of Roy Keane so I was very much looking forward to listening to the book and it didn't disappoint. It was brilliant to get his insight in to the way he approached management and also his side of some stories that have been written about him. I really enjoyed the book and there were a few stories and reactions to situatuons that made me laugh out loud.
