Roy Keane's toughest moment in management Got this off the BBC website in the papertalk section today; Roy Keane has said that his toughest moment in charge of Sunderland came just four games into his reign when he discovered his team listening to ABBA's Dancing Queen prior to a 3-1 defeat to Ipswich.

Heres the full quote, what a crease “It was in my first season and we went to Ipswich,” he said. “We lost 3-1 and you find out about different players at those times. I swear they were playing Abba before the game - Dancing Queen I think it was. There was two of them dancing in the corner. I remember thinking 'that's not right', but we had no leaders at the time. Ipswich would have been outside our dressing-room, listening to Dancing Queen, and thinking they'd got a great chance against us. It was the masseur's choice of music, but what annoyed me was that none of the players had the balls to say, 'We're not listening to this rubbish.'”
