And Keane later explained how these arguments were commonplace during his spell at the club, but also insisted they never impacted the squad’s overall success. 

He added: ‘What’s really important about all of this stuff, the player arguments, hang-ups with Teddy [Sheringham], whatever it is, the key was that even with all of this arguing, it never interfered with our targets as a team. 

‘That was trying to win the following weekend and the next game.’
