We [himself and Roy Keane] had similar qualities as players. We were both determined, we wanted to win, and we were both leaders of our teams. That's why I always loved to play against him. [...] Despite the rivalry, there has always been respect between us. We challenged ourselves, we battled, but we always retained respect for each other.
